President Salva Kiir has appointed Brigadier General Aduot Ajang Aduot as the new Commissioner of Customs Service at the Revenue Authority

Brig. Gen Aduot’s appointment was made through a presidential decree announced on the state-owned TV SSBC on Wednesday.

The new Commissioner General has replaced Major General Akol Ayii Madut, who was dismissed from the position back in August 2022.

Gen. Akol was removed after the Economic Crisis Management Committee recommended to President Salva Kiir for removal of former customs officials due to allegations of corruption.

The Committee, led by Vice President James Wani Igga was tasked to manage the economic crisis and streamline the collection of non-oil revenues.
