December 31, 2014 (RUMBEK) – The governor of South Sudan’s Lakes state, Maj-Gen Matur Chut Dhuol has sacked his entire cabinet, the state-owned Rumbek FM-98 reported on Wednesday.

Dhuol, in a separate decree, appointed Martin Anyuon as the Rumbek East county commissioner replacing Madong William Mading who recently resigned following inter-clan clashes between the Gony and Thuyic clans.
In addition to his advisors, Dhuol also maintained the commissioners of Yirol East, Awerial, Wulu, Cueibet, Rumbek Central and Rumbek North counties.
The decree did not explain why these new changes were made.
Lakes state has been blighted by cattle raiding since South Sudan gained independence from the north in July 2011, and continues to be locked in a cycle of inter-clan clashes and revenge killings.
Youth activists and traditional authorities have repeatedly called for the governor’s removal, amid claims he has failed to stem violence.
Dhuol was appointed in January 2013 after president Salva Kiir sacked the elected governor.
