Governor Taban, in a decree Sudan Tribune obtained, removed commissioners Francis Ibrahim (Besselia), Taban John Guu (Bagari), Barjuok Ucu Kiuc (Kwajina) and Peter Dwai Uyu of Roc-Roc Dong.
The four commissioners were, however, re-appointed back to their respective positions by the state governor in a separate decree.

The governor’s decree, however, gave no reasons for the newly-made changes.
