July 31, 2015 (RUMBEK) – South Sudanese authorities in the country’s
central state of Lakes have confirmed on Friday that a senior payam
[sub-district] administrator was killed by an unknown gunman in Yirol East
county, east of the state capital, Rumbek.

A senior officer from the state police’s Criminal Investigation Department
(CID) told *Sudan Tribune* that that Gabriel Makou Mayek, administrator of
Pagarou payam was shot dead by the assailant after his attempts to convince
the youth to return hundreds of heads of cattle they recently looted during
clashes between rival sections of the Dinka ethnic group inhabiting the
state.

Last week lakes state government under the governorship of the military
caretaker governor, Matur Chut Dhuol, instructed local administrators to
identity looted cows of Rumbek East county to be returned to their rightful
owners. The order was however being disobeyed by members of the armed youth.

"A person with AK47 entered into payam administrator’s office and killed
administrator Gabriel Makou Mayek and another person left with critical
gunshot wound," said senior police officer who requested anonymity.

He said majority of citizens in Lakes state were becoming uncooperative
with the state government and they openly refused to share security
information with the government.

"Sincerely up to now we have not captured the suspect who killed the payam
administrator because public refused to tell us any person they suspected.
If you ask any person whether they had information they say ask governor
Matur Chut to tell you who is responsible," he narrated.

In a separate development, the route linking the state capital, Rumbek
town, with its neighbouring counties of Rumbek North, Cueibet, Rumbek East
and Wulu have remained closed due to high insecurity threats that resulted
in unknown gunmen killing at least person this week.

Caretaker governor Matur Chut Dhuol appeared in Juba airport on Thursday
and told reporters that Rumbek was clam, a comment which was publicly
criticized by those who followed the insecurity events in the state which
is the most affected in the whole country in terms in inter-communal
violence.

Several calls from Lakes state public demanding caretaker governor Matur
Chut Dhuol to be removed from for failure to arrest the violence have been
overlooked by president Salva Kiir, who appointed the caretaker governor
since 2013
