Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b> The governor of South Sudan\u2019s Western Equatoria State Gen. Alfred Futuyo Karaba has suspended the opposition-nominated commissioner of Nzara County over alleged links with President Salva Kiir Mayardit\u2019s party.<\/p>\n

In a gubernatorial decree dated 7 August 2023, the governor suspended Richard Zizi \u2018until further notice\u2019 and then directed the Executive Director (deputy commissioner) to temporally take up the responsibilities of the commissioner.<\/p>\n

While the decree by the governor did not cite any reason for the suspension, SPLM-IO secretary for Western Equatoria State Mary John claimed Richard had defected to the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM-IG).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commissioner has defected in November 2022 and the SPLM-IO office in the county has been closed down,\u201d Mary said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it is his links with the SPLM-IG which is a peace partner that has resulted in the suspension,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The senior state opposition official said that the commissioner \u201chas been totally rejected by the people\u201d of Nzara County, but then said an investigation committee has been formed by the group to find out facts about his links with the SPLM-IG.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow the SPLM-IO office in the state has been closed down for at least 8 months and a committee has been formed to investigate the reasons and to establish facts about his links with the SPLM-IG,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, the SPLM-IO will take measures based on the report of the committee,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Sudans Post attempt to reach Commissioner Richard were unsuccessful as calls rang unsewered.<\/p>\n
