The governor of Unity State, Taban Deng Gai, has briefed the state legislative assembly on the postponement.

South Sudan has on several occasions denied any association with the SPLM-North rebel group. Governor Gai explains. "The head of the state owned Nile Petroleum Corporation (NilePet), Paul Adong, is also quoted by the AFP news agency as saying the postponement is on account of security concerns raised by the Khartoum government.

The speaker, Simon Maguek Gai, told the MPs to render services to their people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
