General Manyok Barach Never Rushed Into Anything
2 min readBy Deng Dekuek, Perth, Australia
Dear Kiir-Agou Garang Kuir,
November 10, 2015 (SSB) — I would like to clarify something that you stated in your article. Your statement that “Aguer Panyang, Deng Dau Malek and Manyok Barach all rushed into this utter nonsense and supported it” is not factual and misleading at least on the part of General Manyok.
It is a known fact that the initial sole gubernatorial candidate from Lith Payam was Dr Dau Aleer Abit from Adhiok. However, it was later decided that each payam shall be allowed two candidates because Ajuong could not resolve the differences between Col. Aguer and Mr Deng Dau. This is how General Manyok Barach from Abek became a candidate for governorship. As you are aware Lith Payam is made up of two people; Abek and Adhiok.
General Manyok Barach did not campaign, is not campaigning and will not campaign for the Governorship especially when it is dividing our people and when the final decision rests with the President. As you are probably aware all the names have been forwarded to President Kiir now and there is no need to accuse anyone. We need to close ranks and let our people heal.
Kind Regards,
Deng Dekuek
