The Governor of Central Equatoria condemned the current power struggle within the ruling party saying the timing was improper.
Clement Wani Konga told the Equatoria Consultative Conference in Juba on Thursday that “any serious disagreement within the SPLM and the Government of South Sudan may have serious and negative socio-economic and political consequences and implications for Equatoria.”He said the latest leadership struggle within the SPLM was triggered during the last Political Bureau meeting meant to discuss the Party’s basic documents.
Governor Konga underlined that the power struggle within the ruling party undermines peace and stability and the timing for announcing individual candidacies to the leadership positions “was improper.”
He added that “the time for determining the fate of the elected leaders both at the Party and all levels of Governments has not yet come” and the power struggle demonstrates “lack of respect to the institution of the Presidency and Chairmanship of SPLM.”
