The governor of South Sudan’s Central Equatoria State, Emmanuel Adil Anthony has issued a significant gubernatorial decree, marking a historic milestone by appointing the first female mayor of Juba City.
The announcement was broadcasted on local television and radio through the Equatoria Broadcasting Corporation (EBC).
In the decree, Governor Adil named Flora Gabriel Modi as the newly appointed mayor of Juba City. Flora replaces Emmanuel Khamis Richard, who was removed from the position last month following an incident where he had physically assaulted a female street hawker, leading to widespread public outrage.
Flora Gabriel Modi’s selection as mayor is a groundbreaking achievement, making her the first woman to hold this esteemed position in Juba City. Prior to her appointment, Flora served as the Commissioner-General of the Central Equatoria State Investment Authority.
In addition to the mayoral appointment, Governor Adil made several other key appointments in the city’s administration:
Mogga Franco Wani was appointed as the first deputy mayor for administration and finance. Thiik Thiik Mayardit was named as the second deputy mayor, responsible for social services.
Juma Diyo was appointed as the third deputy mayor, overseeing environment and waste management. Elizabeth Sarah Doa Zozimo was appointed as an advisor to the leadership of Juba City Council.
Governor Adil also issued separate decrees that resulted in the dismissal or replacement of various officials in different positions across the state government. Notable changes included the appointment of George Pitia Stephen as the new Commissioner General of the State Investment Authority/Corporation, succeeding Flora Gabriel Modi.
These changes and restructuring efforts reflect a significant shift in the leadership and governance of Juba City and Central Equatoria State, including the historic appointment of Flora Gabriel Modi as the city’s first female mayor.
