Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>South Sudan\u2019s parliament speaker Jemma Nunu Kumba, has lifted the suspension of lawmaker Juol Nhomngek of the main armed opposition group, Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement-In Opposition (SPLM-IO).<\/p>\n

In a letter dated August 10, 2023, Kumba ordered the suspension of Nhomngek to be lifted and directed the Clerk and House Administration to carry out the order immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn accordance with regulation 56 (4) of the TNLA, Conduct of Business Regulation 2011 (Amended 2021), I, Jemma Nunu Kumba, Speaker of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly, do hereby lift the Suspension of Order dated April 26, 2023, of Hon. Juol Nhomngek Daniel, effective from the date of signature of this Order,\u201d the order reads in part.<\/p>\n

Nhomngek was suspended from the country\u2019s transitional parliament on April 26, 2023, for allegedly refusing to cooperate with an investigation committee formed to investigate him on defamation allegations against Kumba.<\/p>\n

Nhomngek was accused of making controversial statements linking the speaker to misappropriation of funds in his social media post. He denied the allegations and said he was talking on fundamental issues in parliament.<\/p>\n

When contacted by Sudans Post, Nhomngek confirmed receiving a letter from the parliament\u2019s clerk informing him of the latest development on his case and expressed happiness that he will finally return to do his work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis afternoon I received a call from the clerk of the parliament that the suspension has been lifted and I welcome it because that is a good step to make sure that we go back and do the work in the parliament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first place the suspension was not legal but after the expiration of the period it has been lifted and I am happy that it has been lifted and I will go back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no conditions attached to the suspension it is unconditionally lifted based on the laws on the requirement of laws that at the end of the session in which a member was suspended, the suspension elapses also,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
