South Sudan United Movement ( SSUM), we raise concern about the unliteral decision to replace the position of Jonglei state Governor, a position which had been allocated to SSUM by the peace agreement arrangement but, now has been given a member of National democratic Movement (NDM ). As the South Sudan opposition Alliance ( SSOA) is a coalition of political parties, various positions which are allocated to SSOA under Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the conflict in South Sudan .(R- ARCISS) were divided equally amongst the SSOA parties ,
As such, change to the power sharing of positions amongst SSOA parties should be done through a consultative process among the members and the chairperson of SSOA who is Hon. Josephine Lagu. Unilateral decision making is country to the operational principles of SSOA a coalition, and the R- ARCISS.
Although the Republican Decree has been announced on 29th May by the office of the President,
We urge all the parties to agreement to respect the peace agreement and the power sharing decisions procedures and therefore we call for the decision to be reverse.
