SSYR Official Statement

For Immediate Release

South Sudan Youth Reforms (SSYR) expresses deep concern over the recent revocation of Hon. Reath Muoch Tang's appointment to the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA) by President Salva Kiir.

⚠️ SSYR Condemns These Unconstitutional Actions

• Reath Muoch Tang—representing Upper Nile, a voice of peace and accountability—was disqualified without due process.
• This action is a blatant violation of the constitutional framework and undermines the powers of the legislative branch.
• It signals a disturbing trend of executive overreach, threatening democratic norms and minority representation.

🤝 SSYR Demands:

• Immediate reinstatement of Hon. Reath Muoch Tang to his legislative position.
• Transparent public explanation for the revocation, grounded in constitutional or legal terms—not political expediency.
• Preservation of legislative independence, free from unilateral executive interference.

📌 Why This Matters

Reath Muoch Tang was a vocal advocate for transparency—raising concerns about corrupt staff recruiting in the TNLA and calling for fair representation. This incident is more than a personal injustice—it undermines youth voices, regional representation, and democratic integrity in South Sudan.

📣 SSYR’s Commitment

We reject any attempt to silence elected youth leaders. SSYR is committed to defending true representation, promoting rule of law, and protecting civic voices across South Sudan.
