SPLA orders Maj. Deng Mabior to retire in army before he becomes Commissioner of Bor County

By SPLA Military Justice

Maj. Deng Mabior  Deng  a k a Deng Jama Wula  has been nominated as one of the would be Bor county commissioner in Jonglei State. Maj. Deng Mabior is still one of the SPLA active soldiers therefore, the SPLA Military Justice hereby order Maj. Deng to retire from the army before he is appointed a commissioner

The Law of SPLA  say  ‘’there must be highest wall of separation between the army and politics ’’ This law of SPLA has been violated many times since 2006. It was first violated when Maj. Gen John Lat , was appointed as a Governor of lake State before he retired , when Lat lost his position in politic , he was reinstated  in the SPLA . SPLA is not the place of redundancy. The second violation was Maj. Gen Madut  Biar when  he lost as the Governor of North Bare el Gazal  in politic , he was reinstated  in the army . The  third violation was Maj . Gen Jok Aring , when he lost as the Commissioner of Bor county , he was reinstated  in the army. The Fourth violation was Maj . Gen Dau Aturjong , when he  failed to be Governor of North Bare el Gazal , he was reinstated in the army . The fifth violation was the appointment of Mayor of Bor Municipality  1^st Lt Nhial Majak Nhial before he retires in army , now when Nhial loses  his position in the near future , he will  be reinstated  in the SPLA . SPLA is not  a political dustbin where political rubbishes are dumped .  . All these reinstatements  are the violating of  the SPLA Acts . Leaving the  army , returning into army is disturbing, disorderly  and unethical . it is incompatible  and ultra vires

There is one exceptional case , this is the case  of Governor of North Bare el gazal , Maj . Gen Paul Malong , Malong was made Chief of General Staff by the State of Emergency , the state of emergency  law says Generals with great military skills are reinstated into the army in order to give their skills and experiences of the war so they  restore peace  quickly . What about rests?   Which law takes   them to politic from army ? Which law  brings them back into the army from politic ?

The South Sudan Defense Council, in its last meeting has passed a resolution  preventing  ( a ) anyone from participating in politic before he resigns from the army  ( b) banning reinstating anyone who participates in politic back into the army

Therefore the SPLA Military Justice hereby orders Maj . Deng Mabior to retire from army before he participates in politic of Bor County.
