Aweil state governor, Yournew Wol Kuot has officially rejected the resignation of the state government chief whip, Kuac Wek Wol.

Kuac handed his resignation letter two months ago protesting the replacement of parliament speaker Deng Ayom Ayom and two other specialized committees’ parliamentary heads.

But on Wednesday last week, the state assembly voted to reinstate the three, Deng Ayom Ayom, Aweil state legislative speaker, Santino Mayuat Ngong, chairperson for agriculture committee and Anguet Anei Ajuong, chairperson for information committee following orders from the government.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Monday, Deng Deng Wek, Aweil state information minister, said the state governor rejected the resignation of the chief whip saying the reasons indicated in the letter do not warrant such drastic measures.

For his part, Kuac Wek Wol, Aweil state government chief whip said he received a copy of the rejection order from the office of the governor last Friday and pledged to continue working in his position.

However, he said they will hold a series of SPLM party meetings to discuss political outstanding issues.
