Kiir replaces 35 parliamentary nominees as oath-taking looms

President Salva Kiir has replaced 35 nominees who were picked in May 2020 with new ones just days to the swearing-in ceremony.

Presidential Press Secretary Ateny Wek Ateny told Eye Radio last week that plans were at an advanced stage to swear in the appointees by Friday, July 9. This is even as reports emerged that the oath-taking ceremony could come earlier than that day.

The president dissolved and reconstituted parliament in May, appointing at least 500 legislators from various political parties.  The lawmakers will be expected to begin their work as soon as they are inducted into office.
