Lol Gatkuoth got fired!
Juba, PR, MP 13 June 2019
The President of South Sudan Salva Kiir Myardit has removed Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth from his position as the Minister of Oil on Wednesday.
The decree named Awou Daniel Chuang as his replacement. Chuang was serving as the Director-General in the same ministry.
Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, however, was appointed in the portfolio since 2016 as part of a power-sharing arrangement between the government and Taban Gai’s SPLM-IO faction in the current setup in Juba.
The decree gave no further explanation to the dismissal, but apparent indicators lead to mishandling of oil revenues and poor perception at international circles.
Currently, oil production is at its lower capacity. The government is aiming to increase the production to %100 by 2022 when peace is realised.
