Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit has dismissed James Kok Ruea from the Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA) on the ticket of the main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO).<\/p>\n

This comes after the opposition official resigned from the SPLM-IO led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny and declared allegiance to the ruling Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement faction led by President Salva Kiir Mayardit.<\/p>\n

In a presidential decree read on the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Cooperation (SSBC) on Wednesday, Kiir revoked the membership of James Kok, who was appointed to the R-TNLA on the ticket of SPLM-IO.<\/p>\n

Kok was replaced by Pei Nyawela Bol, who is a member of SPLM-IO from Jonglei State. Mr Kok, who hails from Fangak County, Jonglei State, resigned from the SPLM-IO and joined the SPLM-IG under President Kiir last week.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the press last week, James Kok said the SPLM-IO had lost its vision to bring change to the country under the leadership of the First Vice President, Dr Riek Machar. But Machar\u2019s allies have dismissed James Kok Ruea\u2019s claims saying he is known for defecting from group to group.<\/p>\n

SPLA-IO spokesman also told reporters, according to the City Review, that those defecting from the party are bribed by the ruling SPLM party to join them because the SPLM-IO is unable to provide the defectors with what the SPLM offers them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call it \u2018\u2018sponsored defections\u2019\u2019 because you are promised money, you are promised a vehicle, you are promised resources, and then you say, \u201cI am not getting money here, I am not receiving anything, so what do I do?\u201d When you move to the other side, you are given the money and you complain that we don\u2019t have the resources,\u201d Lam said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the SPLA-IO condemns this act of sponsored defection and we are looking forward to seeing changes in the implementation of security arrangements. We are also asking our peace partners to reconsider this move that is being done to jeopardise the peace agreement,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
