The Governor of Aweil State, Ronald Ruay Deng, has issued an order sacking the head of revenue authority and appointed a new official.

According to the order which became public on Friday, Governor Ruay removed Akol Ayom Wek and replaced him with Majok Wek Lual Akol to serve as the Commissioner General of the Aweil Revenue Authority.

The order did not cite any reason for changes.

Aweil State is one of the states which came into existence after President Salva Kiir issued a controversial 'Establishment Order' in October 2015 to divide up the country and create 28 states.
