In the same month of May, he also removed about six check points previously erected along the Juba-Lainya-Yei Road hindering effective movement of pedestrians and travellers plying the highway.
However, in September 2023, the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA) recommended the instant removal of Emmanuel Khamis as the acting mayor of Juba City Council (JCC) for assaulting a female street vendor. The incident, which was captured in a video that went viral on social media, showed Khamis wielding a pistol in his right hand and physically assaulting a female vendor selling mosquito nets at the Seventh-day Adventist roundabout. He was sacked in September 2023.
