Jonglei State Land Minister Was Suspended With An Aim To Quell Tensions In The Region, Government Spokesperson Said

Government Spokesperson said that, the decision made by Jonglei State Deputy Governor Hon. Jacob Akech Dengdit to dismiss Jonglei State Lands Minister was to stop tensions sparked by the orders issued by State Minister in Bortown 


Jonglei State Minister Hon. Isaack Mamer Ruk was suspended pending investigation and was told to handover all Government properties including his "office stamp" and "letterhead" in an order made public on Thursday. 


Jonglei State Information Minister Hon. Samuel Manyuon while speaking to the media said that, Jonglei State Deputy Governor action was in good faith. 


“I don’t term that one as a suspension as the letter reads. There is a difference between a suspension and a stay-home order. So, it is administrative, and the leadership will clearly come out as soon as possible,” Manyuon said. “But that was an immediate measure to take. It is not yet a suspension but a stay-home thing because, on Thursday, there were riots in the market in Bor. I believe it was instigated by some orders of the land minister.” Hon. Samuel said. 


Jonglei State Spokesperson further said that: “The minister is not suspended from his role, but it is an administrative measure to see how we can deal with such a situation. The situation is getting out of hand. We don’t know what is happening or who to blame.” Hon. Samuel said. 


The suspended Minister Hon. Mamer claimed that he was not given any notice prior to his suspension, but his decision over land ownership dispute could be the main reason he was suspended by the deputy governor. 


“There was a complaint from some citizens in Jonglei State. During the allotment of 2006, 2007, and 2008, some plots were allotted to women groups to sell vegetables. It was plot No. 444 and plot No. 222, and UNDP built the place. But those women were evicted in that place by force, and the place was sold to somebody with a lot of US dollars, but I later reversed that order.” Hon. Mamer explained.
