JUBA – The suspended chairperson of South Sudan National Youth Union, Gola Boyoi Gola, on Tuesday relieved his Secretary General, Justin Urio Ajongo Unguec, and replaced him with James Kuol Nyeng.
The order did not cite any reason behind the sacking of Justin Urio Ajongo Unguec.
On his part, Justin Urio Ajongo Unguec defiled his removable saying that Gola Boyoi was suspended by the Minister of Youth and Sport, Dr. Albino Bol and that has no constitutional mandate to sack him.
“Up to date, the suspension of Mr. Gola Boyoi Gola made by Hon. Minister of Youth and Sport is not yet lifted and we did not receive any official communication from the concerned authorities regarding the reinstatement of Chairman of the South Sudan National Youth Union back to the office,” Ajongo said in a statement seen by Sudans Post on Tuesday.
Ajongo alleged that Gola Boyoi is using fake stamps.
“The stamp he used is not the official stamp of the Union and we call upon the head of youth and sports commission and any other concern Institutions that National Youth Union Secretariat general is the custodian of all assets, including the official stamp of the Union,” he said.
He urged the suspended Chairman to stop issuing orders and doing any other official duties of the National Youth Union until his suspension is addressed amicably.
“However, I call upon all the institutions to disregard all the correspondences that the suspended chairperson had made and urge him to stop issuing orders and doing any other official duties of the National Youth Union until his suspension is addressed amicably.”
In May 2022, Minister of Youth and Sports, Dr. Albino Bol Dhieu suspended Gola Boyoi, Chairperson for South Sudan National Youth Union for allegedly overstepping his jurisdiction.
Dr. Dhieu accused Gola Boyoi of a breach of protocol by writing to the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Deputy President of the Sudan Sovereign Council, without following due procedures.
Gola Boyoi however, defied his suspension by the Minister of Youth and Sports, terming it unconstitutional.
