The Lakes state Youth Union Chairman (LASYU) Apuk Deng Reech is aiming to move to court over the leadership dispute after he was impeached by the union members in April. 27 April 2013 By Gabriel Mayom RUMBEK, 24 April 2013 (Gurtong) - In April, the Lakes State Youth Union (LASYU) passed a vote of no confidence on their chairman Apuk Deng Reech for undermining the executive council and working independently without informing members on the activities related to union. About 18 members of the Lakes State Youth Union Council voted against their chairman and in a letter signed by Speaker Malith Ahol Chaak, the Youth Union Council alleged that Apuk had undermined the executive council and is working independently without informing members on the activities related to LASYU. Apuk was elected in July with 22 votes representing a 38.6 percent in the hotly contested 2012 elections with four candidates contesting for the chairmanship. Speaking to press at the time, Apuk denounced the letter signed by his Speaker Malith terming it as a criminal act which will be dealt with by the court. Apuk said that the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport which is in charge of the Youth Union is being notified and serious measures will be taken against those who cook fake documents. “This document was done by criminals. That document is fake and those boys who wrote this letter are criminals and serious measure will be taken against them. The ministry is being notify and immediately the will be capture and they will appear before court,” said Apuk during the impeachment. On Tuesday, Apuk wrote a letter to the ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport which said; “with these remarks, the executive and myself call upon all youth, and the entire public to Lakes state to refer to Lakes state youth union constitution the aforementioned articles quoted in order to prove who is at the right or wrong side between inquisitive councillors in disseminating fake document and patient executives, who responded lately. Also not all council members are aware of the impeachment but only clique of out councillors.” Posted in: Home, Governance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
