The Shilluk community has rejected the appointed Mayor of Malakal City and the creation of Malakal City Council.
Shilluk Community Chairman Joshua Otor Akol told the press Tuesday evening in Juba that the appointment of the Mayor was unconstitutional because the Shilluk community was not consulted.
He accused Governor Simon Kun Puoch of appointing a relative from Nassir instead of choosing a native Shilluk to head the Malakal City Council.
Professor Otor called on the Governor to review his decision of appointing the Mayor of Malakal in compliance with the national and state Transitional Constitutions.
