Jur River Postpones Legislative Council Swearing in Ceremony To Friday
Authorities in Jur River County of Western Bahr el Ghazal state have rescheduled to Friday the swearing in ceremony of the County Legislative Council members. 19 February 2013 By James Deng Dimo WAU, 19 February 2013[Gurtong] - The ceremony was postponed last Wednesday at the last minute in Nyinakok due to poor coordination. It was understood that the state government officials led by the state governor arrived at the venue in the absence of the judge who was supposed to preside over the oaths. The absence of Bibles and Qurans was also one of the major failures as the county administration failed to organise in time. It was also understood that there was late arrival by the county councillors at the ceremony venue and most arrived when the state governor was already on the ground at the venue. Jur River County Commissioner John Arop Madut has suspended his Executive Director Mr. Osam Mohamed Ibrahim and formed an investigative committee to probe on the issue. Last week, Wau County Legislative Council members were officially sworn in to office at the new Wau County headquarters in Bagari, Western Bahr el Ghazal State. The members were appointed last month following the state gubernatorial order establishing legislative county councils tasked with passing county commissioner activities as well as other government developmental relevant work in the county. State governor Rizik Zackaria Hassan urged the members to account for any development or government polices at the grassroots. He appealed to councillors to serve the government and stand firm to challenge any difficult task ahead as the state government is ready to offer services to the area.
