South Sudan Picks Ninth Finance Minister in Less Than Six Years

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir appointed Salvatore Garang Mabiordit as finance minister, the ninth time he’s replaced the head of the oil-producing nation’s Treasury in less than six years.

Mabiordit will replace Barnaba Bak Chol, whose tenure as finance minister lasted only three months, according to a presidential decree read on the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation on Monday.
