Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Acting Mayor of Juba broke silence since the video of \u2018slapping\u2019 a female vendor went viral, requesting the City Legislative Council to give him 14 days to compile a report before appearing after the body summoned him.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, September 12, in a 2-minute and 9-second video clip, the acting Mayor, accompanied by armed police and others, stormed vendors along the Seventh-Day roundabout.<\/p>\n

The Acting Mayor and his team were seen chasing vendors from the roadsides. He was with two pistols.<\/p>\n

Khamis who\u2019s also the Commissioner of Lainya County slapped the woman vendor with his left hand.<\/p>\n

The video angered South Sudanese online with some calling it an act of bad and poor leadership.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers, civil society activists and women groups have also called for the removal of the acting mayor.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Juba City Legislative Council summoned the acting mayor to appear before the house and answer some questions regarding the matter.<\/p>\n

The council requested the mayor to appear on Monday next week.<\/p>\n

In response, the acting mayor accepted the summon but requested more days to compile a comprehensive report.<\/p>\n

In a letter seen extended to Eye Radio newsroom this morning, the acting Mayor requested the City Legislative Council for more days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI request the date fixed to be amended and adjourned to give me ample time of fourteen days to compile a comprehensive evidenced-based report on the matter,\u201d said Acting Mayor<\/p>\n

The Acting Mayor also requested the Juba City Legislative Council to provide him with questions to allow him to prepare a proper response.<\/p>\n
