New gender minister chosen in S. Sudan cabinet reshuffle
By Isaac Vuni
June 2, 2009 (JUBA) – As part of a major reshuffling of his cabinet, the President of Southern Sudan Salva Kiir Mayardit today appointed Hon. Agnes Kwaje Lasuba from Central Equatoria State as minister of Gender, Social Welfare and Religious Affairs, effective from June 2, 2009.
Hon. Lasuba is a career teacher who had been the chairperson of Regional and International Cooperation in the Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly. She is the former wife of late Joseph Oduho, a founding member of SPLM/A.
Delighted, Hon. Abut described Lasuba’s appointment as being very important for creating unity among the marginalized Sudanese voters particularly in Southern Sudan. Abut is chairperson for peace and reconciliation in the parliament.
The former minister, Mary Kiden Kimbo, was relieved by a decree effective from May 31, 2009.
Meanwhile, concerned politicians of Eastern Equatoria are appealing to majority communities of the state to allow a minority a chance at the governorship.
In addition to the previously reported changes at the ministerial level and within the SPLA command, there were appointments of several GOSS presidential advisors:
– Michael Mili Hussien, presidential advisor on food security
– Andrew Malek, presidential advisor for decentralization
– Albino Akol Akol, presidential advisor for humanitarian affairs
– Daniel Kodi, presidential advisor for the two areas of Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile
– Salva Mathok Gengdit, presidential advisor for SPLA affairs
