President Kiir dismissed governor, Kornelio Koryom Mayik and his
deputy John Dor through a decree announced on South Sudan Broadcasting
Corporation (SSBC).
In a separate decree, the South Sudanese leader appointed Othom Rago
Ajak and Dier Tong Ngor as the new governor and deputy governor
respectively.
Both the new governor and his deputy were serving in the Central Bank
as directors.
In a separate decree announced by President Kiir on Saturday, the
deputy minister of finance, Mary Javes Yak and ministry’s
undersecretary Salvatore Garang were sacked.
The president appointed Mou Ambrose Ring Thik as the new deputy
finance minister.
South Sudan is experiencing tough economic crisis with the local
currency (SSP) losing 80% its value after it was floated against the
United States dollar nearly 12 months ago.
Prices of the items have also surged in markets as government
struggles to pay its staff.
The president did not, however, indicate why he made changes in these
two institutions.

Look at this president, what difference will you make while
millions of dollar 💵 disappear always in your own office, and where
that money comes from? I think fire a bank governor is not a solution
of South Sudan 🇸🇸 crisis rather than adjusting yourself and then
look 👀 at your surrounding before making a decision or JCE because
you both 🏃 the nation like your own property.

Look at this Dinka tribal gangs leader is firing people for his
own mistakes. Kiir caused the war in the country, steal money and keep
hundreds of billion dollars in office. $6 million, $4billion, $6
million, and 280 million have been stollen at his office and has not
been firing himself yet. He massacred over 20,000 in three days and
has not firing himself yet. What a desperate gang leader!

President Kiir, firing people from left to right is not a solution
to our problems. Personally, I will stop talking to you about the
important issues. We, the intellectual Dinkas people especially
generals are tired of all these messes you brought to the country. Why
don’t you just sit and listen to the people who can move the country
forward. We are tired and frustrated with your leaderships.

Jienge Defender General,
True army generals don’t wait and get frustrated like you,
they act and make coups and overthrow govts. I am seeing a hopeless,
illiterate general who is worse than Kiir. Organize your jienge
generals and overthrow Kiir so we take you seriously. Otherwise just
defend yourself and your family man.

This has been the long awaited decision ever from JCE. Kornolio
Koryom has thrown the value of South Sudanese pound in to hell. He
should not be allowed to continue trading his surplus hard currency in
streets of Juba.
Let him go home right away or be tried for mismanaging the bank of
South Sudan. The most poor performing Governor ever on earth.

is where the country economy will be stable,

South Sudan is not subjected to any economic sanction of any
kind. There are only a handful number of individuals subjected to
targeted sanctions but SS is not under economic sanctions.

President is always busy calling peace, peace, but no response
from any, because no minister or governor who is cooperating with
president to cease hostility, therefore;
¶ troika and its alliance are eager to impossible any possible
obstacles to the people of south Sudan.
¶ America and other international body has long hand to
destabilize our economic unless the civil war must be eased
immediately

Dinka-Defender General does not have a single soldier around him.
How do you except him to make a coup? He lacks food let alone manpower
for the task. He claims to be close to Kiir but true Kiir’s friends
either sit in Beer bar in Amarat and plot ill-intentions for the
country or travel abroad. They don’t have time to see the media.
Dinka-Defender General is simply a jobless fellow.

This is the most primitvity that Kiir’s advisors have. STD and
Igga Wani are only for themselves. They are never consulted in any
opinion, JCE is the chief advsisory body, with all its advices
binding.Forget about so-called regional balance.They don’t feel
ashamed of their deep tribal tendency.
