Kuol Manyang, in the decree obtained by Sudan Tribune, says the newly
appointed officials will be answerable to him and not the Pibor county
commissioner, as it was previously.
“In exercising the power vested upon me under article 99 (2) (1) of
the transition constitution of Jonglei state 2011, I Kuol Manyang
Juuk, the governor of Jonglei state do hereby order the transfer of
Boma sub-county administration from Pibor county to office of the
governor”, partly reads the decree.
Since the establishment of the semi-autonomous government in 2005,
Boma remained under Pibor county, with one commissioner based in Pibor
town. Two executive directors, both answerable to the Pibor
commissioner, were also appointed in Boma and Pibor.
The governor, in the decree, appointed Khorok Remoris Alongole as
chairperson of Boma, Justin Taiyin Kok as its executive
director/secretary, while Zuagin Rachu Balko, Mary Hassen Turki and
Alfred Bartagi Tuta were appointed as members.
Boma is one of the towns that remained under South Sudan army (SPLA)
control since 1985 after its capture from Sudan Army Forces (SAF)
during the civil war era.
However, two months ago, the area was captured by South Sudan rebels
before government forces dislodged them.
The state governor, who recently visited Boma pledged to improve lives
of citizens in the area, through improved education systems, health
services and provision of food.
