Michael Makuei Lueth has held the position of Minister for Information and Broadcasting since 2013 and continues to hold that position in the Transitional Government of National Unity. He was also the public spokesman for the government delegation to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development peace talks from 2014 to 2015 and from 2016 to 2018.

Makuei has obstructed the political process in South Sudan, in particular by obstructing through inflammatory public statements the implementation of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (ARCSS) of August 2015 (replaced in September 2018 by the “Revitalised ARCSS” (R-ARCSS)), by obstructing the work of the ARCSS Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC, renamed “Reconstituted JMEC” under R-ARCSS) and by obstructing the establishment of the ARCSS Transitional Justice Institutions, which is also provided for in R-ARCSS. He has also obstructed the operations of the United Nations’ Regional Protection Force.

Makuei is also responsible for serious violations of human rights, including restrictions on freedom of expression.
