South Sudan Speaker Summons MPs for Emergency Sitting Amid Threats of Her Removal

South Sudan's Speaker of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly, Jemma Nunu Kumba, has summoned all Members of Parliament and government ministers for an emergency sitting on April 8, 2026, amid increasing political pressure for her removal. This follows a vote of no confidence by the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and a formal recommendation for her removal to President Salva Kiir. Kumba disputes the process, claiming she was not given a chance to respond to financial misconduct allegations against her.
