Appointed Tonj governor Akec Tong Aleu said Wednesday that Salva Kiir will not issue another order to reverse the creation of more states because it has already been approved the council of states.
Akec said he returned to Tonj on Wednesday after consulting the president with the two other appointed Warrap governors for Gogrial and Twicial and Twic for directions and guidance.
Akec said he has assured Tonj citizens at a rally they should not worry about reports suggesting the creation of more states would be revoked by the president in order to allow for the implementation of peace agreement.
“I told them what the president has told the leadership of the SPLM and the membership at the recent extraordinary convention in Juba that he would not reverse the creation of the states because this is the demand of the people and nobody can deny the demand of the people,” Akec said.
