December 7, 2016 (JUBA) – The Governor of Northern Liech, one of South
Sudan’s newly-created states has dismissed reports that he switched
allegiance from government in fear that he would be removed from his
position in the upcoming gubernatorial reshuffle.

Joseph Nguen Monytuil is in his area in response to the president’s
directive asking all governors to be at their headquarters to be close
to the people they govern and to help in the dissemination of the
peace agreement, which the government with armed and non-armed
opposition signed in August 2015.
In an interview with Sudan Tribune, Northern Liech state information
minister, Lam Tungwar said the governor, himself and the entire state
administration were surprised by what he described “as unfounded and
baseless lies by anti-peace elements in the state”.
“I went to the office of the president and met with the minister in
the office of the president to clear the air about these allegations.
It is not true the government has defected. He is still with the
government and is now in the state for the mission assigned to him by
the president”, Tungwar exclusively said on Wednesday.
He said the state government would lodge a legal pursuit of those
behind the allegations, which he described as defamatory in nature.
In October, South Sudanese President, Salva Kiir threatened to dismiss
state governors who use public resources to pay luxury hotels instead
of remaining with their respective constituencies in the states.
President Kiir expanded the country’s 10 states to 28 a year ago – a
move criticized as violation of the August 2015 peace agreement, which
was signed based on the 10 states and the economic challenges.

Lie spreaders must be held accountable for their own lies, they
should know that any single lie they spread to the public should
mortgage them. I am happy with Hon.Tungwar that all the people who
spread lies will be brought to justice by holding them responsible for
their barbaric acts.
