Former SPLM-IO spokesman Mabior Garang de Mabior was nominated to the position, but resigned days following return to Juba to briefly take up the position in June last year.<\/p>\n<p>On February 1, 2021, Machar nominated Nyenagwek Kuol, former minister of information for Warrap state who is currently the SPLM-IO chairperson for Abyei Administrative Area, but the group\u2019s leader Machar said in August that President Salva Kiir Mayardit has refused to appoint the nominee in violation of the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a communiqu\u00e9 following the SPLM-IO split in early August, First Vice President Machar said President Salva Kiir Mayardit has refused to appoint the SPLM-IO nominee for deputy minister of interior terming it a violation of the 2018 peace agreement.<\/p>\n<p>He said a SPLM-IO Political Bureau meeting on August 4, 2021 \u201cdiscussed the blatant violations\u201d of the revitalized peace agreement by the president including his refusal \u201cto appoint the SPLM\/A (IO) nominee to the position of Deputy Minister of Interior whose nomination was submitted on February 1, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Sudans Post this morning, Press Secretary in the Office of the First Vice President and SPLM-IO Director of Information and Public Relations Puok Both Baluang said the group has no plan to replace the nominee and urged President Salva Kiir Mayardit to appoint her for the sack of peace in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have no plans to replace our nominee, matter of fact we are calling on the President to appoint our nominee for the position of Deputy Minister of Interior as soon as possible,\u201d Baluang said.<\/p>\n<p>On August 7 however, President Kiir\u2019s media aide Ateny Wek Ateny said he hasn\u2019t been informed on the matter because he didn\u2019t attend the meeting between Kiir and Machar where the deputy minister of interior was discussed saying the two men haven\u2019t informed anyone about if the nominee has been rejected or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a meeting of the First Vice President with the President; they didn\u2019t tell anybody whether there is rejection or not, so I cannot talk about something I have not been told. They were only two and they didn\u2019t make any statement,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
