The chief administrator for the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) has issued a decree sacking his political advisor and the head of the area's Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC).
Lokali Amae Bullen, in a decree which went public on Monday evening, relieved Gazuli Yar Korok as the advisor on political affairs and Nyinginga Okanho Kiro as the RRC director respectively.
The decree did not give any reasons for the sacking.
Meanwhile, in a separate decree, Lokali Amae reappointed the ex-RRC boss to lead the human rights commission and the relieved advisor as the administrator for the physical infrastructure and agriculture ministry.
He also appointed Simon Kongkong Lotiko as the new political affairs advisor and John Koko Maze as the head for RRC.
But speaking to Radio Tamazuj, the GPAA information minister, said the changes were administrative and were meant to ensure the smooth running of the government affairs.
