The appointment, announced in Gubernatorial Order No. 10/2025, comes into force immediately upon the governor’s signature.

The directive cites Article 98 (2)(a) of the Transitional Constitution of Upper Nile State (2011) and follows Presidential Decree No. RSS/RD/J/356/2025 issued on 3 October 2025.

In the order, Governor Ruot said the appointment was made in line with his constitutional mandate and the broader leadership structure outlined in the recent presidential directive.
