BREAKING — South Sudan Parliament Lifts Immunity of MPs Accused of Forging President Kiir’s Signature

South Sudan’s parliament on Friday voted to lift the immunity of two lawmakers accused of forging the signature of President Salva Kiir and unlawfully using presidential symbols of authority, paving the way for criminal investigations and possible prosecution.

The lawmakers — Kom Kom Geng, chairperson of the parliamentary committee for security and public order, and Ayii Ayii Akol — both represent Northern Bahr el Ghazal State. They were arrested by national security officers in Juba on Monday, May 11.

Under Section 357 of South Sudan’s Penal Code Act 2008, forgery is defined as the creation of a false document with intent to commit fraud, cause harm, or unlawfully support a claim or authority. The law provides that anyone convicted of forgery may face up to five years in prison, a fine, or both.
