Gubernatorial Changes in Central Equatoria Government Positions Shake Administration

Hon. Emmanuel Adil Athony, Governor of Central Equatoria State

In a surprising series of moves, several key government positions in Central Equatoria of South Sudan witnessed a reshuffling of personnel as announced in a series of gubernatorial decrees on Friday. The changes have caught many by surprise and have sparked speculation about the direction of the administration in the near future.

Among the notable changes, Hon. Elizabeth Pita Lugor, who previously held the position of Chairperson of the Pension Fund, has been reassigned to the prestigious position of Chairperson of the Juba Special Economic Zone. In response to these developments, Hon. Lugor expressed her gratitude for the new opportunity, stating, “I am honored to take on this new responsibility and look forward to contributing to the economic development of our nation.”

Similarly, Hon. Robert Beda Tira, the former Chairperson of the Juba Special Economic Zone, has now been appointed as the Technical Advisor to the State Investment Corporation Authority. 

Hon. Tira remarked, “I am excited to bring my experience and insights to this new role and help drive investment opportunities for the benefit of our citizens.”

The changes also affected other high-ranking officials, such as Cde. Dwoki Moses Ismail, Cde. Felix Laku Godum, and Cde. Mathew Abujin Enoka, who were reassigned to different positions of authority within the government structure. Each individual expressed their commitment to serving the state and its people diligently in their new capacities.

Moreover, the new appointments include Mr. Ajo Noel Julius as the legal consultant to the Juba Special Economic Zone, highlighting the administration’s focus on legal compliance and regulatory matters in economic development initiatives.

These reshufflings are part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and enhance efficiency within the government. The changes set a new course for governance and signal a dynamic approach to addressing the country’s challenges and opportunities.

It is imperative to note that these gubernatorial decrees and orders are effective immediately, signaling a swift transition and implementation process within the government machinery. The future implications of these changes remain to be seen as the new appointees settle into their roles and take on the responsibilities entrusted to them.

The South Sudanese population awaits further insights into the rationale behind these changes and the anticipated outcomes that will accompany this significant administrative shift.
