Abuong Mayardit Youth Association calls for fair representation in Luacjang.
The Abuong Mayardit Youth Association (AMYA) has raised concerns over the repeated appointment of Abuong representative to the position of Deputy Chairperson within the Luacjang Students’ Union in Universities and Higher Institutes.
In a letter addressed to the Chairperson of the Luacjang Students’ Union, AMYA clarified that its concerns were not intended to challenge the constitutional powers of the union leadership to make appointments. Instead, the association said it was seeking fairness, equal representation, and inclusiveness among all sections of Luacjang students.
According to the association, Abuong has occupied the Deputy Chairperson position in three out of the last four leadership terms, raising questions about whether leadership opportunities are being distributed equally among different sections.
AMYA argued that while appointments may not officially be based on sections or geographical considerations, the practice of ensuring representation from different communities has been important in promoting unity and fairness.
The association called for a balanced approach in future appointments, suggesting that leadership opportunities should rotate among sections to allow wider participation and representation.
“Genuine inclusion requires that all sections have the opportunity to serve in different capacities over time,” the letter stated.
AMYA emphasized that its intention is not to create division but to promote justice, equality, mutual respect, and transparency among Luacjang students.
“The statement stands that Abuong should be excluded from the current leadership and wait for the next leadership opportunity. If this position remains unchanged, let the union continue its work without further disruption.”
The association concluded by calling on future leadership decisions to reflect the principles of equity and equal opportunity for all sections of Luacjang.
