The governor of Unity State, Dr. Joseph Manytuil has scoffed off a claim by his deputy that says he \u2018solely\u2019 runs state affairs, citing he has powers to suspend any political post holder who commits gross violation to de-escalate tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Bakuony, the press Secretary in the office of the Governor, revealed that Panyijiar County Commissioner was suspended because he arrested a member of SPLM party which nearly ensued a fight and again declined to honor a summon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After suspension of Commissioner of Panyijiar, Mr. Gabriel Majiok Bol on Tuesday, Machar\u2019s party faulted the governor of Unity State of running state affairs alone and suspending opposition officials without prior consultations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the head of the SPLM-IO in Unity state, Tor Tungwar who doubles as the deputy governor, Dr. Manytuil since formation of state government has been violating the agreement and turned blind eyes to mutual working relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reacting to the matter, the press secretary in the office of the Governor, Peter Bakuony said Panyijiar commissioner committed a gross violation, thus Dr. Manytuil indefinitely suspended him to quell tension in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe governor was acting in accordance to the law that has been given to [him] by the revitalized peace agreement, the governor has no right to appoint or to relieve but he has right to suspend when there is a threat,\u201d Bakuony told No.1 Citizen in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe reality is Panyijiar county commissioner has actually committed a very big mistake that is also a threat to the peace agreement because when you arrest the members of the political parties that are also partners to the agreement including the secretary of particular party what do you mean by \u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the governor had acted on time to deter the consequences that might have been inflicted by commissioner\u2019s action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor example, people in Panyijiar County almost fought \u2013 the local youth in the area were almost fighting the commissioner because their members were arrested and that was the reason governor intervened to rescue the situation,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Bakuony further noted that the agreement gives political space for all political parties to exercise their freedom of assembly as long as it\u2019s not a threat to the security but commissioner is gagging party members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed that people misunderstood mutual working relations, according to him \u201cCollegial or cooperation does not mean even if a political post holder made a mistake you should consult deputy, that is not what this collegial means.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis issue of cooperation means when the governor for instance [has] issues to do with the implementation of agreement like appointment of DGs, or county board counselors this is where cooperation comes in,\u201d he continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He rubbished the claim that governor has been suspending cabinet and security meetings, citing that if these vital meetings are not there how would the state government be able to manage security concerns in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mouthpiece of Dr. Manytuil alleged that Unity state is one of the states that don\u2019t have disagreement regarding collegiality; he also asserted that appointing civil servants doesn\u2019t need any political quota but qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn civil servants there is no need for political party because people who qualify are any members of state like sons and daughters of Unity State \u2013 if you are qualified and have certificate you will be appointed to work in any ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
