Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s suspended undersecretary of the ministry of health Dr. Victoria Anib Majur has defied orders of her suspension by the minister of health Elizabeth Achuei and has continued to come to office, a senior government official at the ministry has said.<\/p>\n

Last month, Minister Achuei suspended Ms. Victoria and formed a committee to investigate her after the former made appointments at the ministry while the minister was on a government mission to the UN General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post on Wednesday evening, a senior government official who is also working at the ministry said the suspended undersecretary has been coming to her office while Dr. Samson Paul Baba, the acting undersecretary is working from another office.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe hasn\u2019t been respectful to the orders and directives the honorable minister of health and as such she has been coming to the office and the acting undersecretary has been working from another office,\u201d the official who requested to be identified said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not sure until when such a decision is going to be solved because I have also been told that the former undersecretary is not cooperating with the team that is led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny,\u201d the official added. What happened?<\/p>\n

The ongoing power struggle begun on October 10, 2021, after the undersecretary \u2013 acting, allegedly, on directives of Vice-president Hussein Abdelbaggi \u2013 made reassignments of director-generals and directors without consulting the minister.<\/p>\n

On October 15, the minister issued a ministerial order suspending the reassignments made by the undersecretary, sparking a warning from Vice-president Hussein who nullified the ministerial order cancelling the changes saying the actions of the undersecretary were justified because the minister was not in the country.<\/p>\n

South Sudan Doctors Union (SSDU) then appealed to President Salva Kiir Mayardit to intervene to resolve the power struggle within the ministry of health to avert deterioration of the already fragile health system in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SSDU further calls on H E Salva Kiir Mayardit and the entire Presidency to quickly intervene, find a lasting solution to the differences, and put the MoH back on the right path,\u201d partly read a statement issued by the SSDU on Tuesday .<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SSDU hopes the Presidency will encourage the MoH leadership to maintain high integrity and professionalism and carry out their mandate for the benefit of the people of South Sudan,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
