Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The governor of Western Equatoria state has described his Cabinet as \u201cpoliticians of the stomach\u201d, saying he couldn\u2019t conduct Cabinet meetings for months because the cabinet only thinks of their stomachs without providing services.<\/p>\n

Alfred Futuyo says since the cabinet was reconstituted, the executive has not conducted even a single meeting. Instead, he said, since its formation, he has been faced with opposition from some ministers he did not name.<\/p>\n

Futuyo said, whenever there is the regular Friday meeting, some ministers do not show up. Others, he said, disrespect him and travel out of the state without notifying or asking permission from him. This, he says, has affected the work of the entire government and the delivery of services to the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was \u201cI was appointed as governor and spent nine months without a government and I did some work, but when the ministers were appointed, work stopped. Cabinet members think only for their stomachs without providing services,\u201d Governor Futuyo told Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no way for us to do something in the cabinet, and the cabinet could not make a decision, because some ministers say I want to travel to Juba, or I want to go somewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the people who just want to travel and don\u2019t think about doing anything. All these things we were doing have stopped. Now, the parliament building has stopped, there are no issues being discussed in the cabinet, people just want to eat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, as governor, I delivered something for the development, so that our state may not be ashamed.\u201d Governor Futuyo says sanity will only return once credible elections are conducted where citizens will elect their own leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, Kiir appointed the governor, the same Kiir also appointed deputy governor and Kiir also appointed ministers, so this make people not to respect me,\u201d Futuyo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no seniority and anyone is doing things in their own way, because they say Kiir is the one who appointed me and appointed you, so we are pushing this government like a wheelbarrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone did something and asked him because I am the governor, why have you done this? This always brings a lot of issues online and social media.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, misunderstanding emerged between Governor Futuyo and his deputy Kennedy Ganiko over affairs of the state. It\u2019s not clear whether the two have resolved their differences.<\/p>\n

Last month, the state Minister of Education accused governor Futuyo of overstepping his mandate when he distributed 100 million pounds of education grant to the ten counties.<\/p>\n

Grace Apollo Musa said Futuyo acted unilaterally and did not involve her ministry. According to the revitalized peace agreement, decision-making in the government shall be in a spirit of collegial collaboration.<\/p>\n

It also requires the state governments to consult and cooperate in the interest of peace and stability. Governor Futuyo was appointed by President Kiir in June, 2020 as the state governor.<\/p>\n

Nine months later, Kiir reconstituted the state cabinet by appointing 62 representatives of various parties to the revitalized peace agreement \u2013 among them 13 are females.<\/p>\n
