house arrest, despite being appointed by the national government.

Deng Deng Akuei replaced Mawien Arol, who was appointed by South Sudan
Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (SSRRC).
SSRRC is an independent national commission with an independent budget
and constitutional mandate to recruit, hire and deploy its employees
to different parts of the country to implement objectives for which it
was established by an act of parliament.
The motive behind the decision of the governor, until now, remains unclear.
Local officials and area legislators, in series of interviews, told
Sudan Tribune that the governor was infuriated by the national
government’s decision, which prevented him from making changes.
"They have been looking for me for the last two days. I don’t know
why. The governor has directed the security personnel to look for me.
They went to my village in Manyiel and Peth, but they did not find me
there. They then decided to call today and I told them where I am
currently,” Arol told Sudan Tribune on Friday.
“When I they heard where I am, they said it is better you tell us
where you are otherwise it will be rough if it is us going to look for
you. So I told them the place and they came. Now I am with them. They
are taking me to the detention. I do not know what I have done and I
do not know the governor is treating me like this,” he added.
Akec Mel, another official who was removed from his position in the
same institution claimed the governor replaced Arol with his relative
and declined to the leadership of the relief and rehabilitation body,
which deployed Arol to the state from Juba.
"What happened is that the governor last week said he had replaced
Mawien Arol with his private secretary, Ngong Acuil Alor, who is his
cousin and asked us to hand over the office,” said Mel.
"Because we did not want to be blamed by the headquarters for not
letting them know, we forwarded this information to our offices in
Juba and they wrote to him [the governor] saying his action undermines
the independence of the commission,” he added.
Mel said he has since been detained with a colleague on the governor’s orders.
