Jonglei governor sacks four county commissioners

Philip Aguer Panyang, Governor of South Sudan’s Jonglei state has issued an order sacking at least four county commissioners without immediate replacements.

It is not clear what prompted the governor to remove four local officials and why he did not make immediate replacements, creating administrative vacuum in their areas from which changes were made.

 Governor Aguer, according to the order which became public on Thursday , removed Simon Thon Ayuen from  Bor West County, Mading Akol from  Anyidi County,  Nhial Awan from Makuach County and Deng Mabany Kout from  Twic North County.
