Sixty-eight members voted to impeach the minister, and the rest voted against the motion. For us, we were not planning to impeach the minister because what we wanted was a solution to our civil servants&#8217; concerns. But the problem was that the minister refused to be transparent,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, wany Bum, a lawmaker who voted against the motion, said the impeachment was politically motivated.<\/p>\n<p>Wany, who was also suspended earlier this month from his position as the chairperson of the parliamentary committee for information, said: \u201cWhat happened is the continuation of what the assembly did when I was illegally suspended as the head of the information committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe process was not procedural, and six of us from the South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) decided not to vote. Again, the assembly cannot impeach a minister appointed under a peace agreement. So, I want to call on the governor not to sign any impeachment from the assembly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The embattled minister of finance could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
