South Sudan’s president fired Finance Minister Bak Barnaba Chol three months after his appointment, replacing him with Salvatore Garang, amid ongoing political and economic instability.
South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir dismissed Finance Minister Bak Barnaba Chol just three months after his appointment, replacing him with Salvatore Garang, a former finance minister with a history of corruption allegations.
The reshuffle, announced on state television, also removed several senior officials, including the head of the National Revenue Authority.
This marks the ninth change in the finance minister role since 2020 and reflects Kiir’s pattern of frequent leadership changes amid ongoing conflict and economic instability.
No official reason was given for the dismissals, and analysts say the moves do not address deeper systemic issues like corruption, weak institutions, and poor revenue collection.
