Attorney General Issues Arrest Warrant To Former Western Lakes State Governor



The Attorney General issued an arrest warrant to the former Western Lakes State Governor Kerbino Kuel Deng.

The State Finance Minister Hon. Mario was also arrested and over 4 million SSP was found in his house and another 8,200 USD.

In the middle of June the Judge dismiss the case lacking concrete evidence but opt to hunt and prosecute the former Western Lakes State Governor. 

Attempts to reach the former Governor has proven futile by the media society of South Sudan.
