The President of the Republic issued a presidential decree removing vice-president, Riek Machar Teny, and dissolved the whole government.
Salva Kiir Mayardit in a presidential decree on Tuesday removed all the ministers and their deputies.
He did not appoint new vice-president or national ministers and deputies.
President Kiir directed Secretary-General Abdoun Agaw and the undersecretaries of the various ministries to run the government.
The President also issued an order for the suspension of the SPLM Secretary-General Pagan Amum.
The order formed a five-member committee headed by the deputy chairman of the party James Wani Igga.
