President Kiir swears in three new governors

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir on Tuesday oversaw the swearing-in
ceremony of the three state governors who were appointed recently at
J1 in the capital Juba.

The three governors who took oath of office before President Kiir are
John Kong Nyuon for Fangak State, Victor Atem Atem for Gogrial State,
and Angelo Taban Biajo for Wau State.

After the official swearing-in, President Kiir congratulated the newly
appointed governors and said that citizens need peace in all states.

“One of the governor’s main objectives is to connect and be a link for
the people between the state level and the national government. When a
governor fails to deliver his duties, it means that the government has
failed. This is not what the people want. They want you as the state
governor to be an effective link and facilitate the communication
between them and the government,” he said.

President Kiir advised the new governors to work hard for the national
dialogue’s success in their states.
