Former commissioner of Bor County Yuot Alier Hok has passed on according to a statement by family.
Yuot died at Nile Kings Hospital in Juba due to brain tumour on Wednesday afternoon. He was to be flown to Canada for surgery on 15th January.
Yuot served as commissioner of Bor County from April 2021.
In November 2022, he was suspended by Jonglei State Governor Denay Jock Chagor for allegedly disrespecting the state leadership, a charge he denied then.
He was consequently sacked by President Kiir in January 2023.
