Members of Parliament from Collo Kingdom in Upper Nile condemn the governor’s order dismissing civil servants of Malakal to execute President Salva Kiir’s order of 28 states.
Six MPs in a press conference on Tuesday reiterate that Malakal belongs to Collo people.
The priority in South Sudan is peace, not creating troubles with tribal states, says MP Onyoti Adigo Nyikwec.
MP Adigo stresses that the government should focus on addressing starvation and the economic hardship in the country.
The Collo MPs say the grab of Malakal Town from their kingdom is unjustified.
75 percent of civil servants in Malakal are Collo people, 20 percent Nuer and less than five percent is Padang Dinka, explain the MPs.
The Collo parliamentarians appeal to the international community to pressure Juba administration to reverse the 28 states.
