An alliance of civil society groups in Jonglei has applauded the decision taken by the governor of Jonglei state appointing three SPLM-IO officials.
In a gubernatorial decree on Saturday, Governor Philip Aguer named Thon Simon as minister for labor and public service, Dut Abraham as youth and sports minister and Kuol Garang as investment commission chairperson.
“As a civil society group, though it came late, we have no objection since it is in accordance with the agreement,” Abraham Malual, chairperson of Jonglei State Civil Society Network (JSCSN) said on Wednesday.
Abraham urged the state government to cooperate with the newly appointed officials, while appealing to the appointed officials to work hard.
