South Sudan’s information minister, Michael Makuei Lueth, speaks to
reporters in Jonglei state capital Bor on 25 December 2014 (ST)
Lam Akol resigned from the transitional government of national unity
(TGoNU) on Monday over alleged failure by President Salva Kiir to
respect the terms of security arrangements and the removal of former
first Vice President Riek Machar as final blows to the peace accord.
He also said the peace accord was "dead", adding he had joined "other
like-minded compatriots" in quest for changes in governance.
But the country’s information minister dismissed claims by his
agriculture counterpart.
"Lam Akol and Riek Machar are birds of the same feathers, opportunists
and always follow each other," Michael Makuei Lueth told reporters in
the South Sudan capital, Juba on Tuesday.
He also described Akol’s decision to quit as "unilateral and anti-peace."
"All the parties remain committed to the agreement and so Dr. Lam Akol
should realize that he is the odd man out," stressed Leuth.
Meanwhile, a national alliance of 18 political parties on Tuesday
selected Kornelio Kon Ngu as its new chairman. Ngu served as deputy
minister of agriculture in the new TGoNU.

Dr. Lam Akol need to understand that no one even need him.If Lam
Akol was a man, he should question and ask himself like, what did I do
to myself or what did I do to Shilluk Community not other community?
So to myself, I don’t see that Dr. Lam Akol resignation was a great
effect to South Sudanese. Lam Akol is a "cool war personnel rebel"

Dharchep,
Both Lam Akol and Riak are PhD holders and intelligent. Kiir
and Makuei have none and B.LL each. Of course it would defy common
sense that less intelligent persons can lead such world class
academics. Perhaps only Dr. Garang would match both Drs but not jienge
half-idiots with loose and untamed tongues.
