Reports that President Salva Kiir is stepping down from office are
false rumors, the Presidential Press Secretary Ateny Wek Ateny has
said.
Mr. Ateny says the rumors were circulated by some media houses in Khartoum.
He dismissed the reports at a press conference at the Presidential
Palace, J1 Monday afternoon.
According to the reports by a newspaper in Khartoum, Mr Ateny said,
the replacement plan was hatched at a recent meeting of senior
officials in Juba.
He said this report is false.
“There was no meeting, what so ever that the president has
convened with any group at the level of political bureau or at the
level of the leadership within the SPLM. If you have read the news
yesterday, even they were choosing successors from outside the system
which is governing the country. I saw some names yesterday. How this
people came with it is something we all need to see and how anti-peace
elements are working day in and day out to ensure that South Sudan
continue to be paralyzed,” Ateny told reporters.
