How could a governor disrespect the orders of president to rejected those whom are appointed officially through presidential decree not to go and takeover their duties granted to them by the president of the Republic?. We shall see how the right president of South Sudan will say on this matter, since those working under his leadership doesn’t agreed to his orders. Chol Tong has no legal right to prevent those appointees not to resumme their works due to their social problems, iam assuming the governor might be having a problems with those people but for me i do see social issues/ problems cannot be refered to an official things because chol is not every thing on the people of Lake State and such kind of behaviors can’t even be consider in the country where there is democracy government. Chol should have to act as a grown up and good leader of the people and he should not do things as like a childish.

Dear John Gum
You are very right to condemned governor chol because he surrounded himself with coterie of simpleton and opportunists, he doesn’t care about others since he took over the office but his time is coming to an end soon.
Public interests are not yet addressed just only issuing decrees which are not helpful to our communities
1- Health services are very poor
2- No better roads
3- Bridges are all broken
4- Markets prices are very high
5- insecurity everyday peoples die like chickens
6- Poor education
7- Poor hygiene and sanitation
8- Double names in payroll
9- Employment of one family in the departments
10- Localizing FM 98 to be for Rumbek only Radio Rumbek -Radio Rumbek 98,
And so many things. These are ongoing facts over there .some readers may agree with me. Wake up and give needy services to the peoples.
No thanks

Guys,
Be reasonable! These officials were appointed by the Governor and NOT the President. They have been appointed now by the President and they can not take over their new positions, MPs when they have not been officially relieved by their boss, the Governor. So there is nothing to be regarded as disrespect to the President. You need to distinguish your personel hatred and national issues towards the Governor. Madam Margaret Samuel was not appointed as a minister by Eng. Chol because of their kinship but on the basis that she is from SANU- and whose the President gave the position to. So, she came on Party ticket.
Learn how to read and understand well and thereafter, you will be in a better positions to serve this state.
