The presidential decree was broadcasted on the "State owned" South Sudan Broadcasting Cooperation, The SPLM-IO nominated speaker was reinstated.
President Kiir fired Jonglei State nominated speaker without giving in clear reasons earlier in January this year.
Facebook page of Office Of The President wrote that, the president and vice president met yesterday evening to discuss "a wide range issues".
Presidential Affairs Minister Dr. Barnaba Mari Benjamin also said the meeting resolved most of the challenges and outstanding issues of concern.
Speaker Amer Ateny Alier hinted that the main reason for her dismissal might be due to her demand for salary arrears for the State Employees.
“My dismissal is a culmination of a long-running conflict between me and the Jonglei governor for standing for our people over the issues like unpaid salary arrears, his continued absentia in the state for months, and that of an impeached minister who still serves in defiance,” she said in January. “What surprised us in SPLM-IO is that there was no prior consent before the decree. If the president knows what is happening in Jonglei State, I believe he would stand with me for being a voice of the people.” Amer Ateny said.
