Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A Juba court has rejected the National Security Service\u2019s (NSS) plea to adjourn a longstanding land grabbing case against Lawyer Kiir Chol. Despite a High Court ruling in Chol\u2019s favour last September, the NSS has resisted vacating the disputed property.<\/p>\n

The High Court summoned Gen. Akol Koor, Director General of NSS\u2019s Internal Security Bureau (ISB), in early November to explain the continued defiance of the court\u2019s order.<\/p>\n

In a recent turn of events, NSS hired a new counsel to handle the case, requesting a month to study it. However, the court dismissed the request and gave the NSS counsel ten days to analyse the case before advising the client.<\/p>\n

Kiir Chol Deng, speaking to Radio Tamazuj after the session on Thursday, opposed granting more time to NSS, citing the nearly five-year legal battle. The court\u2019s decision signals a push for resolution in the ongoing dispute.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Security introduced a new counsel who sought a one-month adjournment to study the case with the aim of an amicable resolution. However, we opposed the request, having negotiated with them for nearly five years without progress,\u201d stated Counsel Chol.<\/p>\n

He further explained, \u201cWe urged the court to either bring the matter to the president\u2019s attention or proceed with forcefully executing the court order. Despite our opposition, the court granted the new counsel 10 days to seek an amicable resolution, a move I doubt. Nevertheless, I respect the court order, and the case has been adjourned until February 13th.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expressing skepticism about the new counsel\u2019s intentions, Counsel Chol emphasized, \u201cI\u2019ve been negotiating with National Security for almost five years, and they have shown no readiness to resolve the matter. That\u2019s why I took the matter to court.\u201d<\/p>\n
