Don’t be misled that Kalisto was everything, Thiik Thiik Mayardit slams social media activists  

JUBA – Juba City Council’s deputy mayor for infrastructure Thiik Thiik Mayardit has slammed social media activists who are demanding return of Kalisto Lado who was dismissed on Thursday by the governor of Central Equatoria state saying Kalisto was ‘not everything’ at the Juba City Council.

On Thursday, the governor of Central Equatoria state sacked the mayor of Juba city Council. While the governor did not appoint any replacement for the top Juba city official, the governor did not give reasons behind the sacking.

However, the sacking sparked social media uproar with activists urging President Salva Kiir Mayardit to remove Governor Emmanuel Adil for dismissing Kalisto whom they termed as a man of work.

But speaking to journalists in Juba this morning, deputy Juba City Mayor for infrastructure Thiik Thiik Mayardit slammed the social media user for ‘hypocrisy’ saying Kalisto was not everything when he was at the city council.

“JCC is an institution with its policies and I can be removed but the policies have to remain in place,” he said.

“No one should be lied to that former mayor Kalisto Lado was everything at JCC, we worked together to realize what you see today and we are now going to the streets to inspect as usual,” Mayardit added.
