AWEIL, 15 April 2017 [Gurtong] -“I don’t know really why there is no
female Governor appointed in the Governorship position though they’re
qualified. We need to have chances of exercising our skills in
leadership,” said Achol.

This concern was raised during a three-day Agricultural conference
held in Aweil State and attended by representatives of neighbouring
States.

In response to the question, the national Minister of Agriculture,
Forestry, Animal Resources, Fisheries, Cooperatives and Rural
Development, Hon. Onyoti Adigo said, “Aren’t you from SPLM? Who
appoints people? This question was supposed to have been asked by a
non-SPM member and answered by an SPLM member like you because the
appointment of government ministers and Governors are made by your
chairman. So you’re supposed to ask your chairman on this concern not
me who comes from a different party.” Onyoti told the minister.
