The Division of SPLM-IO Ministerial Portfolios
By Amb. Gordon Buay Malek
Dear all,
February 25, 2016 (SSB) —- The First Vice President of South Sudan, Riek Machar Puot Nyon, divided his ten ministers as follows:
1. Greater Upper Nile has four Ministers. One will go to Mabior Garang and the other three will go to Nuer (Taban Deng, Hussein Mar and Stephen Par Kuol).
2. Greater Bhar-el-Ghazal will have three Ministers (Dr. Dhiue Mathok, Khamis Abdelatif and one pertit from Wau).
3. Greater Equatoria will have three ministers (Dr. Richard K Mula, Alfred Lado Gore and Gen. Martin Kenyi).
The list the JMEC received today is composed of the above names. It is now clear that Jikany of SPLM-IO do not have any position in the TGONU.
Another loser is Angelina, the wife of Riek Machar, who will now become a housewife who will be only cooking since she cannot give birth anymore.
The biggest loser is Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth who will now be forced to return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an Ambassador without assignment.
