While briefing the committee who arrived in Wau on Friday, the Western Bahr el Ghazal State SPLM Chairman Gen. Mark Nyipuoch accused the SPLM State secretary, Kamil Wana Uraj, who is also the State Government Adviser on Political Affairs, of spending much of his working hours in State Government office than working towards SPLM’s daily affairs. Nyipuoch accused the SPLM State Secretary of cooperating with the State government leading to the down fall of the party. “We have come to establish the problem and find a solution to the current situation so that the State Government can work side by side with SPLM towards developing our new nation,” said Tor Deng. “We will sit with the State Assembly on this matter, so that the peaceful coexistence is restored now since no one is above the law,” he added. Dr. Tilar Ring who accompanied the delegation said that South Sudanese didn’t fight to negate themselves. “As we move towards the new nation, we need to unite the entire citizens of South Sudan,” Tilar added. In the recent past, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement secretariat in Western Bahr el Ghazal State and the State Government has been in confrontation leading to political instability in the region. Last Month, the SPLM Western Bahr el Ghazal State Liberation Council called for an extraordinary meeting, to resolve the State government’s decree of offering the public land at the freedom square for building the SPLM premises. The party council turned down the land offer based on the State Government’s resolution No. 3/2011 as dated 20/01/2011 without the consent of SPLM. The council’s meeting also resolved the government’s decision of taking over the party’s monthly subscription funds remitted in government block account. The SPLM State Chairman, Gen. Mark Nyipuoch said that the State Government was acting outside its powers by controlling these funds. As a result, the GOSS president Salva Kiir decided to send an investigation team to Western Bahr el Ghazal State for a fact finding mission and to establish solutions aimed at peaceful coexistence between the party and the State government.
