SUDAN: Provincial secretary named chairman of Eastern Equatoria High Elections Committee

June 16, 2009

[Episcopal News Service] The Rev. Canon Enock Tombe has been released from his role as provincial secretary for the Episcopal Church of the Sudan (ECS) to become chairman of the Eastern Equatoria High Elections Committee, according to a June 16 announcement from the provincial headquarters in Juba.

Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul of Sudan described it as a "national honor" for the Episcopal Church of Sudan "that one of our leading clergymen has been chosen ... for this most prestigious appointment."

Following a request from the chairman of the Southern Sudan High Elections Committee on June 16, Deng officially released Tombe from the post to enable him to take up the new appointment at the earliest convenience.

Based in Torit, Tombe will chair the committee in charge of implementing the upcoming Sudan National Elections in Eastern Equatoria State.

Deng said that Tombe was chosen for the role because of his previous work in Torit with Norwegian Church Aid throughout the 1990s. Tombe has also served as secretary general of the ecumenical organization Sudan Council of Churches.

John Augustino Lumori, ECS personnel secretary, has been appointed acting provincial secretary until the province can elect a successor.
