Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Jonglei State Minister of Health Atong Kuol Manyang has suspended her Director-General for 90 days over alleged misconduct on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Chol Kueth Kulong was handed the suspension by the Minister Atong for allegedly refusing to accept the appointment of junior directors within the ministry.<\/p>\n

In her order dated August 31, Atong also said investigations have been instituted against the DG for repeated noncompliance with her instructions.<\/p>\n

Atong also accused DG of refusing to receive and implement her letter and orders.<\/p>\n

According to the Director General in the state Ministry of Information and Communication, Mohamed Chuol Peter, clarified that the DG was suspended for rejecting the appointment of directors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State minister of health yesterday has suspended the DG yesterday. According to the letter which I found, the DG rejected the appointment which was made by the minister,\u201d said Chuol.<\/p>\n

\u201cDays ago, the minister appointed the directors in the ministry and that is where the misunderstanding between the two people start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eye Radio was not able to get the suspended official to respond.<\/p>\n

According to the civil servants act 2011, the Director General is the higher appointing authority for the directors in the ministry.<\/p>\n

Since the formation of Transitional Government of the National Unity, there has been existing dispute between the Ministers and the Director Generals over the appointing power.<\/p>\n
