Local leaders in Manyo County demand freezing of oil revenue account
Community leaders in Manyo County are calling for the immediate freezing of the area development account after the Commissioner dismissed the chairman and two members of the 3 % oil share revenue committee
On Sunday, Commissioner Peter Awon Adong sacked Ibrahim Ajageng, the community chairperson alongside Musa Ali and one other.
In the order dated 21s of February 2023, Awon said he made the decision following a consultation with the community members.
In response, the community representatives wrote to the Upper state governor, stating that the commissioner’s order was unilateral.
According to the letter, dated March 3rd, 2023, the community leaders said the commissioner dismissed the individuals after they protested alleged misuse of the fund.
They described the move as illegal and demanded that the community development bank account be frozen until the matter is resolved.
The dismissed chairman of the Committee, Ibrahim Ajageng spoke to Eye Radio Wednesday.
” The commissioner did not mention in his order any reason for the dismissal, he didn’t mention anything, but some days back we disagreed on some issues,
“He come up with his law to regulate the work of the Committee and gave himself 30% of the fund which we rejected.”
When Eye Radio contacted, the commissioner of Manyo County Peter Awon Odhong says he has not yet seen the community’s press release that was issued since last week.
” I have not yet got the letter. If I get it I will be in a position to respond to you,’ he said.
In February this year, the government of Upper Nile State resolved that all the counties in the state will benefit from the three per cent of oil revenues allocated to oil-producing areas in the state.
