Breaking News: President Kiir Fires Lam Akol, Appoints Rizik Zachariah as New Minister of Transport


‎


‎President Salva Kiir Mayardit has dismissed Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin from his position as the Minister of Transport and appointed Hon. Rizik Zachariah Hassan as his replacement in a presidential decree read on the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) on Tuesday evening.

‎

‎The decree did not specify reasons for Dr. Akol’s removal, but political analysts say the change comes amid mounting concerns over inefficiency and internal wrangles within the Ministry of Transport, particularly over the management of infrastructure projects and transport safety reforms.

‎

‎Rizik Zachariah, who previously served as the Governor of Western Bahr el Ghazal State, is a seasoned politician and close ally of President Kiir. 

‎

His appointment is seen as part of a wider government reshuffle aimed at improving service delivery and ensuring loyalty within key ministries as South Sudan heads toward the anticipated national elections.

‎

‎Dr. Lam Akol, a veteran opposition figure and leader of the National Democratic Movement (NDM), was appointed to the unity government under the 2018 peace agreement. 

‎

His dismissal could stir political ripples within the opposition camp, given his influential role in the peace implementation process.

‎

‎The new Minister of Transport, Rizik Zachariah, is expected to prioritize the rehabilitation of major road networks, streamline air and river transport systems, and oversee new infrastructure projects vital to economic recovery and national connectivity.
