JUBA – South Sudan’s First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny is planning to swap two ministers following internal pressure, according to several main armed opposition SPLM-IO officials who have direct knowledge of the plans.

One source said the country’s Minister of Petroleum Puot Kang Chuol who was nominated by Machar has been overpowered by the running of day-to-day activities of the huge ministry and a swap for another minister is now seen inevitable by the First Vice President.

“There is an internal pressure on Dr. Riek Machar Teny, now there are plans that the minister of petroleum is moved to another ministry and this is because the minister is not capable in running the day-to-day activities of the ministry,” one senior executive source inside the SPLM-IO in Juba told Sudans Post this evening.

“So, for the leadership of the movement, there are several factors that have already been considered and the people appointed on the SPLM-IO ticket had been informed that any poor performance at work would damage the image of the movement before the people of South Sudan and as such they are expected to perform well in line with the vision of the movement,” the source who requested strongly not to be named said.

Another source confirmed the developing scenario and said one of the two minister, peace and water irrigation, will be swapped with minister Puot Kang Chuol and a vetting is being made by Machar and a close political allies.

“The leadership of the SPLM-IO here in Juba is vetting for one of the two people: Minister Manawa Peter Gatkuoth of Water Resources and Irrigation, and Minister Par Kuol, of peace. Any person among them who would win the trust of the movement will be moved to the ministry of petroleum,” the source added.

“There are even changes that Puot will be moved to an undersecretary role with in any of the ministries,” another source who is frequently briefed on the matter by colleagues also revealed to Sudans Post.

    “EXCLUSIVE: Machar planning ministerial swap for at least two key ministries – sources”

    Lowly informed fools your Mr. Riek Machars and his bunch of lowly informed nuers ke nyantoc fools had long since gone to Mr. Deng Nhial battalion.

    He was a secret society piece of trash, he didn’t/doesn’t care about the ‘Nuers/naath people’. He was just wedged into SPLM/A by his secret societies’ criminals as their ‘ONLY WRECK BALL. With Mr, Lam Akol, Aduok Nyabe, Joseph Oduho (who was unfortunately killed), here in Kongor, Jonglei state in 1992. Mr. Alfred Lado Gore, came here to Bor, with Mr. Riek Machar, Mr. Taban Deng Gai and some of their foreign creeps let their balls carried them away with their cheap and dirty armed in 15/12/2013. Mr. Alfred Lado Gore of then so-called ‘Equatorian defense forces (EDF)’, Mr. Alfred Lado Gore and Mr. Riek Machar were taken to US, by their secret societies and our people’s enemies to go and lectured our South Sudanese people in the US that ‘their hostages are their leaders of South Sudan and the South Sudanese people’?!!!

    Good luck fellows, Mr. Riek Machar with damned magic ‘poked his neck out again in 2016’ He was allegedly taken to ‘Democratic of Republic of Congo’s national park (D.R.C) on 7/72016, where is Mr. Riek Machar really?

    l will again, repeat this warning, we are the ‘Ancient Egyptians fools’. Pure HATRED and RACISM is here. Get your rubbishes out of South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Darfur, Abesh (so-called ethiopia), Djibouti; we want a war with *OUR ARCH ENEMIES*

    According to our lowly informed South Sudanese, our Nuer ke nyantoc and some Bariais of Central Equatoria low lives, who live in fantasies, superstitions and magics; they love to ‘stir up the bee nest and then run to foreign countries, then go and lie through their dirty teeth that they are being unfairly targeted by the so-called ‘Jaangs/Muonyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges; when their usual ‘nonsense’ is later on taken head on by the GROWN UPs—-us.

    Our Nuers ke nyantoc fools and some of their idiots are now in our Kiirtoum/Khartoum—-their sole aim is, they think, they are on par with the ‘Jaangs/Muonyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenge’ we are just the same with our Nuer ke nyantic low lives, but their ‘child-like-lifestyles had been a snag to ‘Jaangs/Muonyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenge’ progress.

    There are some limits though. We have told the low lives, to get the damn arses out of these filthy so-called UN compounds and farm their damned lands to more food and sell the surpluses to other countries and be good citizens of of the world like people.

    But the low lives only game is all about ‘Jaangs/Muonyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges’.

    Watch out fellows, the ‘Jaangs/Muonyjiengs/Dinkas/Jenges’ are playing games with you and your foreign masters.
