President Salva Kiir has appointed Hon. Garang Majak as the new First Undersecretary at the Ministry of Finance and Planning. Majak, who previously held the same position from 2019 to 2021, replaces Hon. Malual Tap, who was dismissed in a republican order issued this evening.
The appointment comes at a critical time for South Sudan, which is grappling with severe economic challenges, including rampant inflation and a deepening financial crisis. Civil servants have gone nearly 10 months without pay, and many citizens are struggling to afford basic necessities for their families.
As Majak steps into his role, it remains unclear what measures he will take to address the dire economic situation facing the country. The nation is eagerly watching to see how the new undersecretary will navigate these challenges and whether his previous experience will help stabilize South Sudan’s economy during this turbulent period.
