For us, it is not important that he didn\u2019t name his party. What is important is that he realised his mistakes, repented and returned to the mother party, the SPLM,\u201d Lam said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Lam, both officials joined the SPLM formerly at an event held at SPLM House on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrior to that Hon. Andrew Ayom was a member of the then SPLM DC at the same time that Dr. Lam Akol was a chiefwhip of the party in the National Assembly in Juba prior to the signing of the peace agreement in 2015,\u201d Lam said.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"aswift_2_host\"><\/a>Lam further opined that any member who joins or returns to the party is given one-year probation period and subjected to the training before being granted full membership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSPLM does not admit anyone to the party on condition that they will be assigned a position,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Muorwel is a poet and a writer who authored many books including Dinka poems while staying in Australia and Sudan in the latest years.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2024, he returned to the country where he was escorted with a warm reception at Juba International Airport after spending 40 years in abroad.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"aswift_3_host\"><\/a>Speaking at the Juba Airport in April during his arrival, Muorwel said the he came to the country to see the heroes who liberated the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, he was part of the liberation struggle and that he did not make it to come back since independence and that he feels excited to see the country and progress in the capital city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen a lot of progress.
