Female Named To Replace A Late Lawmaker 07 February 2014 By Peter Lokale Nakimangole
*TORIT, 07 February 2014 [Gurtong] -* The Governor of Eastern Equatoria State (EES) Louis Lobong Lojore has appointed Mrs. Flora Ikoli Mathias as a new member of Eastern Equatoria State Legislative Assembly with effective from February 4th. This came in a Gubernatorial Decree No. 03/2014 issued by the state Governor Louis Lojore Lobong to replace the late Marcello Dominic Otwari. "After consulting with the President of the Republic of South Sudan and in accordance with Article 60 (4) of Transitional Constitution of Eastern Equatoria State 2011, I Louis Lobong Lojore, Governor of EES, do hereby issue gubernatorial Decree No. 03/2014 for the appointment of Mrs. Flora Ikoli Mathias as a Member of Eastern Equatoria State Legislative Assembly to represent constituency No.1, Torit town with effect from the date of signature of this decree," the decree partly reads. Though many constituents have welcomed her appointment, a few are disappointed, saying the appointing authority did not do wider consultation. Hon. Ikoli and the late Hon. Otwari are both members of the SPLM Party. Late MP Otwari died in November 2012 while undergoing treatment in Juba after suffering a stroke a week earlier in Torit.
