Governor Aleu of Warrap suspends local government minister

JUBA – The governor of South Sudan’s Warrap State, Gen. Aleu Anyieny, has issued a gubernatorial order suspending the state minister of local government and law enforcement, Anei Arop Agany, according to a gubernatorial decree seen by Sudans Post.

“In exercise of the powers vested upon me by the national transitional constitution, I Lt. General Aleu Anyieny Aleu, do hereby issue this gubernatorial order for the suspension of Hon. Anei Arop Agany,” the governor said in the decree dated September 7^th 2022.

A controversial military governor, Aleu did not give reason as to why he had to suspend the minister and this would be the third time he has suspended a senior local government official.

In June, Aleu suspended the Commissioner of Tonj North County Kuol Akoon Kuol for alleged deteriorating security situation in the country.

Aleu later on in May this year suspended the commissioner of Tonj South County for allegedly shooting and injuring a security officer.
