The event was the first major event by the Transitional Government of
National Unity (TGoNU) ever since the Intergovernmental Authority on
Development (IGAD) heads of states approved the deployment of regional
forces and the re-instatement of the country’s former First Vice
President, Riek Machar.
The two officials who took oath before the South Sudanese leader were
the interior minister, Michael Chiangjiek Mut and his mining
counterpart, Gabriel Thokuj Deng.
"The new ministers promised to deliver what is expected by the citizen
of South Sudan," President Kiir’s office said in a brief statement
extended to Sudan Tribune.
The presidential security advisor, Tut Keu among other dignitaries,
witnessed the event.
Machar, the leader of the armed opposition movement, remains in hiding
since his base was raided by forces loyal to President Kiir following
last month’s clashes in Juba. He vowed he would only return when the
regional force approved by IGAD, the African Union and supported by
several members of the United Nations Security Council are deployed.
