Commends Mr. Niland's article Cheers to Mel Niland, Dear Mel, your
article dated 31st/7/2011 has impressed me to the sense that, if we
put forward our constructive opinions and educate our leaders on what
we required as people of a new born nation then South Sudan can easily
achieve Millennium development goals (MDGs) within shortest time
possible. I commend you for your article. John Garang Akot, South
Sudan-Juba
Reducing inflation is a collective effort of every one Dear readers ,
the persist increase in the general price level for goods and services
(inflation) is a rampant phenomenon in many African countries these
days but its causes may vary from country to country. For the case of
southern Sudan, the causes of this inflation we are experiencing is
basically being caused by supply deficiencies for instances low supply
of food stuffs of which most of them are being imported from our
neighboring countries and deficiency in supplying petroleum products.
Tthe supply deficiencies have been found to have been caused by
multiple taxes that are being imposed on particular commodities, this
made the traders to transfer the burden of taxation to the final
consumers in terms of high prices. The other reason to why prices are
becoming high is the scarcity and high price that traders do pay when
exchanging dollars in the black markets among others.
Having outlined those few major reasons to why there is inflation in
Juba and the entire Southern Sudan, allow me to give these few
recommendations, but do not wrongly mistake me to have interfered with
authority of those in charge with regulating the economic activities,
I just want to remind them of some things that they should do quickly
to curb the issue: The local producers in Southern Sudan should
quickly be emboldened to transport their agricultural outputs to urban
areas where their markets are assured. The government should lure the
investors both local and international investors to invest in
agricultural sector. For our local investor, you can exploit the
abundance of the mango tree in Maridi county and establish a mango
juice factory there. Others can invest in brick making, for instance,
the Uganda clay which is currently imported is sold at 5 pounds per a
brick and what if you produce two million bricks made of clay soil,
you will of course be talking millions of pounds is that not good
instead of scrambling for government positions. Your investment might
provide employment to local population.
The government should work harder to avert the issue of multiple
taxation but instead encourage a single taxation. It should also
exempt the food stuffs from taxes temporarily so as to reduce
inflation, this can be done by using its diplomatic leverage to
encourage governments of our countries which we import our produce.
But coming in my mind is a question which goes thus, for how long will
we be keeping importing from Uganda and Kenya? Are we really aware of
the huge sum of money we are spending on imports? According to the
daily monitor a newspaper in Uganda, last year alone, Uganda has
gained a sum of 2 million dollars apart from those they have not
recorded down. If that sum of money goes to our local investors, do
you think that we shall not develop quickly?
Southerners, let’s be business oriented, let’s leave alone dependency
but yearn for individual self-independency. Let leave laziness alone
and adopt a hard working attitude. The government should establish
southern Sudan bureau of statistics which should be charged with
providing government with information regarding inflationary rate,
unemployment levels, national GNP per capita among others, this will
help the government in planning. As you have read above, bringing
prices down is not a work of a single person but a collective of every
one. Bol Amankereet, South Sudan
What's wrong with Dinka language? Gatcharwearbol, I don't understand
why are we always creating problems which don't exit. Have you really
been told by reliable sources that the new currency for south Sudan is
written in Dinka language? If it is written in Dinka language, what is
wrong with it? Can't you be proud that the new currency is written in
your local language of South Sudan tribe? Let's not be blinded by
nepotism and tribalism. Any allegation you may get from your source,
analyze before you jump to this website and write something
unrealistic. Toney, South Sudan
Everything being renamed in Dinka GatCharwearbol, your points
concerning the South Sudanese Currency are true. To you it's still
rumor, but to us in the South Sudan today, it's a practical reality.
Since the majority of decision makers in the Republic of South Sudan
are from Dinka tribe, the rest of the tribes are pinched down. There
is intention of identifying public properties in Dinka all over South
Sudan. You talked about Currency, I can point out more to that like
Street names (Roads), Schools, Health Centers, Mountains, Rivers,
Forests, National parks, among others, had been partly renamed in
Dinka. There was argument long before the independence that Dinka
dialect be nationalized as the national language and still the
majority in the parliament are pursuing to pass it as a law like they
did for the Constitution which is 80% Dinka traditional rules. Hence,
currency issues is real. Okello Pa Isaac, South Sudan
When did Dinka form their numeric? I have seen a lot of futility
writing on what people term rumors depending on what they were told or
heard. Hey, come on people, use your common sense. I think we do know
very well that all tribes in Sudan or South Sudan do not have their
own numbers apart from English or Arabic numeric. However, when you
heard rumors that the currency is written in Dinka numeric and then
believe it then you are absolutely moron in believing what you've
never seen. Well, you know sometimes traditional leaders who have
never been to school are even better than some leaders who earned
degrees. Therefore, there are some politicians who are pursuing around
for fresh positions in the government of South Sudan and these are the
ones confusing people by coming up with nonsense which would never be
factual. So, get your mind straight in order to be different from the
rest. Thanks! Kuch William, USA
New South Sudanese Currency: Written In Dinka Language! Because I
haven’t seen the new currencies of the Republic of South Sudan myself,
rumor has it that the currencies are numbered in Dinka language.
According to our Transitional Constitution, English is dedicated as
the official language for the Republic of South Sudan. Shouldn’t the
currency be numbered in English instead of Dinka language?
Given that I based my argument on rumors, if I am going to offend any
Dinka person out there with this letter, please don’t go too egregious
and let us all just take it as rumor. But if it is true, then there
should be no reason for any Dinka to find this article offensive.
Going back to the topic, the currencies of Republic of South Sudan are
not made to be seen as Dinka symbolic. It would rather sound
outlandish and out of character for the person who made the decision
to have these currencies written in Dinka language. Dinka language, as
far as I know is not the official language and it should be kept far
away from things that are meant for general public. Currencies are
properties for the whole people of south Sudan. Who does not know that
South Sudan belongs to assortment of tribes of which Dinka is the
largest one? These tribes are the cornerstone of this nation and are
the vantage point of the nation itself. South Sudan would not be South
Sudan without one of its tribes. For example, we couldn’t afford to
lose Acholi, Bari, Dinka, Nuer, and the list goes. These tribes are
part and parcel of this nation and people shouldn’t get to technical
about seeing one tribe as superior over the others.
Now would it be appropriate for our brothers and sisters in Dinka
community if the currencies are numbered in Bari language or would it
be offensive? You be the judge! I hope what I am hearing is not true
and I am beginning to think that people are just pulling my leg. Let
all south Sudanese find one focal point to base their decision on;
otherwise, tribalism or looking one’s tribe as superior to the other
will take ten steps backward. I would personally rather not go that
route. GatCharwearbol, USA
Does our president remember the promise? During dark days of struggles
our late chairman, Dr John Grang de Mabior, promised the Red Army that
we must not worry about our education, those who are educated would be
your secretaries in the offices when we liberate the country. My
question is does that promise still exist or has it passed on with
late DR Garang? Dr Garang also said if we don't open ours eyes widely
then one day our movement will be stolen or hijacked. Is it what is
happening now? Thus, at the present the SPLM has been coerced by
intellectuals and is not longer regarded as for the Red Army or
Liberators generally. The question is did we waste time in the bush
and lives? Victor Madut, South Africa
Is General Gadet Yak and group refugees? Dear editor, allow me to
welcome our brothers and comrades who were misled by some politicians
at RSS to defect to the bush. Gen.Gadet and his group had no choice
but to negotiate their return to SPLA/M which they had been
condemning. Gen. Gadet and his group had many reasons for them to
return. 1-Khartoum which has been their main supplier is now faced
with financial and political crises after the loss of Southern oil and
rebellion in different areas; 2- The bosses of Peter Gadet and his
group ,who promised to join them in the bush failed to do so, hence,
the General and his group felt cheated and betrayed, hence, it became
necessary for them to return. 3. Elimination of rebel leaders in the
bush by fellow rebels who want to have direct contacts and trust with
RSS Government; this practice made General Gadet and other senior
rebel leaders to become main targets for elimination; 4. community
pressure on General Gadet and his group. Right from the beginning, the
Bull community and the entire Nuer community have not been in support
of what General Gadet and his Group were been doing; hence, isolation
denied them human resource supplies; 5- Superior weapons from the
SPLA, in comparison the SPLA has modern weapons against ill-equipped
Gadet's and Athor's forces; 6-Lack of visionary leadership; knowing
the characters of General Gadet and George Athor Deng as people who
have no leadership skills, it would be unimaginable for any one to
think that the duo can sustain meaningful rebellions for years.
The RSS's Government and public should therefore do the following:(1)
Welcome General Gadet and his colleagues and accommodate them in a
peaceful and secured hotel for them to enjoy peace; (2) The General
should not immediately be allowed to joint the SPLA ; (3) The General
should expose his supporters in both RSS and GoS, failure to which
will result to going to The Hague for trial on crimes against humanity
committed in Warrap and Unity States; 4- The General and his group
should tell the general public as to why they had joined at this time
because they left when President Kiir had already issued an amnesty to
all the rebels during the 2011 Referendum; so amnesty is not a
justifiable reason for their return.
General Gadet and his group should be taken as refugees who are
seeking for peaceful places where they can rest and be protected from
political, economic and social pressures which they have been facing
in the bush. Mading Majok, South Sudan
Worried of corruption Good questions. I hope you get the real answers
rather than lip services that Mr. President has been delivering on the
podium but nada in the office. I hardly can see him fighting
corruption because I am worried if he is not leading it too. Michael,
South Sudan
Is Pres. Kiir himself CLEAN to fight CORRUPTION? Let Kiir and his
family declare their assets first and others to follow. Dear Editor,
I'm of the opinion that the family of Mr. President Kiir Mayardit
should take a lead in the war against corruption by having the assets
of Mr. President and that of his children audited by an external
auditor to show that our First Family is number one clean and is ready
to fight corrupters through the thin and thick; this trend will be
followed by the Vice president Dr. Machar, advisors, ministers,
undersecretaries and other senior bureaucrats. By doing so, the new
Government will have strongly averted the mistrust that citizens have
about RSS's Government, From: Mading Majok, South Sudan. 02/8/2011
Day-light robbery by Nat. Legislative Assembly Dear Gov’t and fellow
citizens of the RoSS, The decision made by the president of the
Republic of South Sudan, Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit that increased the
composition of the National Legislative Assembly to 382 members is
something uneconomical, unpopular and should not be welcomed by the
ordinary citizens. The president should have consulted his economic
advisors to uncover some economic implications behind the decision. If
he did, the advisors could not be that passive allowing the president
to take that decision. Based on the estimated monthly salary of
5000SSP per a Member of the Parliament, our MPs will be paid the total
estimates of 2million SSP per month, making the total of 24millions
SSP yearly, a quarter of our annual oil revenues! Is that economical?
Does this way of spending allow the central government to adequately
fund its ministries, state governments, commissions and other
development projects? The answer is absolute no. It's a broad-day
Light robbery of Public resources and General Salva Kiir Mayardit has
again robbed the innocent people of RSS their money which could have
been used to build schools, hospitals, roads, etc. The President has
chosen to promote his idle colleagues who are incapable of doing any
assembly work. The President has killed the SPLM's slogan of taking
towns to villages by bringing more gangs to Juba through their
constituencies' "representation" instead of spreading them across the
country. The 332 members will now work hard to payback the President
for guaranteeing them free access to public resources. Mading Majok,
South Sudan
Cut number of MPs, not increase it Our nation is the world’s least
developed, poorest country despite being rich in natural resources and
the next struggle should focus on reaching millennium development
goals in two decades ahead. Although, it is hard to achieve, we have
to work hard and hard for it. But, this goal will be unachievable only
if the government is not cautious on how it spends money. My argument
was to cut the number of constituencies and MPs in the NLA to at least
200 rather than increasing it, so that the government will have a
pound to spend on public infrastructures such as health care,
education, roads, security and many more. Having so many
constituencies, which even lack basic funding, with their respective
MPs doesn’t make our nation a prosperous one. In fact service
delivery, Reasonable spending, and accountability are the basis of
prosperity which our president should put into account. By Bol Nul
Dhieu, Melbourne Australia.
The messed Bank notes- photos and names: I wish to add my voice on the
echoes of dissatisfaction across all quarters on the bank notes. It’s
the craving for cheap popularity and pride that is killing our
nationalism. Otherwise how would one call it a mistake when well
learned comrades in the caliber of finance minister shamelessly not
only signed but dotted their names in the notes. The other point of
concern is that; why must it be only one hero depicted on all the bank
notes. What happens to Karbino Kwanyin Bol, General Tapeng, Joseph
Lagu and Aggrey Jaden, in fact the mentors of Garang and pioneers of
our quest for independence? I am sure our late hero, Dr. Garang (may
his soul rest in peace) would not criticize this fact. Because it’s a
naked fact, that would enhance national unity, what is best at. What
will it cost to put Garang’s picture on only the hundred note and the
rest shared among other heroes accordingly? It’s disgusting they way
we think, our parliamentarians be thinkers not consumers of ideas.

Debated errors on the South Sudan Pound It took long for me to clarify
on the issue of our new pound lacking a date, and the appearance of
the names of Central Bank governor, Elijah Malok and the Finance
minister David Deng Athorbei. Let me state it clear that the lack of
date on our new pound is neither an error nor omission taken. Many
currencies world wide do not have dates on them but remain legal
tender of their nations. For example in addition to British and South
Africa, Australian dollar is not dated, so is our pound. Nothing
completely wrong with that. For those who pointed out the appearances
of Governor's and Finance Minister's names on the notes is totally
wrong and I will tell you in details. Legally, the 'signature" of the
Central Bank governor is a must, just signature. His title as
"Governor" 'Central Bank of South Sudan'. second signature of the
"Secretary to the Treasury" who is Undersecretary of ministry of
Finance in this matter must appear with the above title. Then followed
by "this south Sudanese note is legal tender throughout south Sudan
states. Note: I wrote this comment with Australian bank notes on my
desk. So, it's clear that only signatures and the titles are to appear
but not names at all. Daniel Abooi Jook, Australia
Polygamy leads to corruption or poverty Bravo, Mr. Isaiah Abraham, for
selecting this topic of polygamy which I regarded as one of the
factors that contributed to the rampant corruption in our government
of south Sudan, There are certain aspects within our cultures that
have no any justification for their existence up-to this current time,
such as polygamy. The social anthropologists' justifications to
ancient African polygamous societies was mainly for economic and
security reasons but at our current time the government security
organs are there to cater for our security. So there is no need to
marry many women to produce many children for security purpose and
also in regards to economic specially for those in urban centers where
most of the source of income is being modernized and farming is very
limited. So there is a need for great awareness among our people to
deter from such practices, because with polygamy we can't eradicate
corruption or poverty from our nation. Regarding the issue of the
president not to appoint polygamous politicians in to senior positions
in the government is a bit difficult, because the president himself is
polygamous if am not mistaken, for several times he was being
questioned about this same topic over Shoroog TV and media but he was
dodging it. So are you asking him to prick his own eye? Pitya lo

Building new nation in a hurry Dear Mel Niland, allow me please this
opportunity to commend you on your article "An outsider View of
Southern Sudan." From every perspective of your observation, I agree
with you that Southern Sudan is a nation in hurry. I'm a Southern
Sudanese but I have not seen that country for over three decades. But
most observers like you when they visit Juba for the first time, they
are alarmed with the infrastructure. I hope the leaders of this new
nation will read your article and adjust the construction Juba to
compete with the modern cities. As a new nation, many things may not
be on straight line but I hope things will be corrected. Oyet, J.

Direct contact with the president Dear Our President Salva Kiir
MayarDit, Allow me to suggest this to you. As you may be aware our at
this stage of our history in South Sudan, we are all struggling in the
building of this country in our micro ways. There are many obstacles
on our way for the citizens to reach you office. My advice to you is
to have one or two hours in a day where the citizen can access your
office directly to you and you listen to their problems on the phone.
It can be live on the radio or the TV. And is possible, allow some to
come to you office and tell you their side of the story of what your
Government machinery is doing on them. You will gather far more better
information apart from those that is being presented to you by the
security apparatus and other official channels. Please establish a
direct contact with your subjects and see how still some of them will
be prevented from calling you. i hope this find a place in your
program. Dr Andy Murusali, Juba, South Sudan
SPLM/A opponents in new cabinet? General Kiir is likely to disappoint
supporters by appointing long time opponents of SPLA/M in the new
cabinet which is expected to be thin, inclusive and broad-based. The
President should use modern magic to ensure that his opponents and
long time supporters are not disappointed in any way. However, judging
from the recent President's speeches, the coming cabinet will be
made-up of effective, accountable and responsible people; hence, one
may deduce that Kiir is likely to appoint SPLA/M long time opponents
because they will meet those criteria. Mading Majok, South Sudan
Foreigners taking over jobs all over the south Sudan Unfortunately
youths in South Sudan are not employed due to the lack of employment
as all jobs which are supposed to be occupied by nationals are now
taken by the foreigners probably Ugandans, Kenyans, Ethiopians. We
south Sudanese are now watching meanwhile jobs are being taken by
foreigners. If you to go to NGOs, Hotels and ministries all of them
are occupies by them, so in southern Sudan we can not develop our
nation without having jobs. In Kenya to be employed even as a cook is
not easy, the same to Uganda which meant all these two countries are
killing us in terms of development and capacity building. I'd like to
ask the ROSS to target this issue otherwise we south Sudanese will
Remain Poor forever due to this unemployment. Gatwech Hoth Loang, Juba
Corruption or cancer in the SPLM, no end insight. In South Sudan
builders are few but destroyers are many and as a result corruption
may not go anywhere soon, it has now become a brother or sister in
blood. Ask yourself a question, why does the anti-corruption
commission remain powerless yet the president has declared zero
tolerance on it? Here is the answer; every bill is prepared by the
Council of Ministers chaired by the president himself or his deputy,
on his behalf and than presented to the (NLA) National Legislative
Assembly for debate of which its passage is fully guaranteed. Their
intention is clear, they should not incriminate themselves when they
all know they are thieves, if given the required powers it will only
take from within CM. So they serve as our present and future tycoons.
The president always comes to the press with no smile on his face, so
the public could take that as seriousness on his fight against the
vice but this is the message, "my boys have a mandate to loot and they
will never be prosecuted for corruption under my watch". This
principle is called congruity. The president does the talk show to
cover his boys. Practicality is what is lacking in the president, so
what he told South Sudanese is not what he said to the CM. In well
established democracies, constitutional post holders' remunerations
are made public for transparency and accountability reasons, no one
knows how much the president and chief justices are paid. The
president is confident in his patience, he knew he cannot yield to
public and international pressure to stamp out corruption once and for
all, he knows how to play the game, as long as he remains president no
high profile politician will be questioned in relations to corruption
unless they are powerless junkies. Corruption emanates from within
J-one (Juba's president home), as J-one consolidates it's powers so is
corruption. MonyPing, Australia
President Kiir's Speech Was Encouraging: The speech that was delivered
by President Salva Kiir Mayardit on the Anniversary Day of the South
Sudan Martyrs is very encouraging. I HOPE IT WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO
REAL ACTIONS before it disappears in the thin air. If President Kiir
could use wisely the dictatorial government powers he has got with the
independence of South Sudan, I have no doubt that it will be for the
greatest good of South Sudan. But if he misuses these powers, South
Sudan is going to be a loser despite its freedom from the oppressive
Sudan. Good Leadership with principles of the practice of good
governance is our missing link in the newest country. You need to
bridge this with courage Mr. President! Every honest South Sudanese
will be with on this noble journey. Please God help South Sudan to
start on the right path of genuine development! Dr. James Okuk
Cut military budget to fight corruption? This is more of a question,
not a comment. I was wondering, maybe you'd consider elaborating on
this in one of your articles later. I would like to refer to your
suggestion to cut down military budget. And the reason for that, as
you put it, is apparently mainly the corruption. Therefore, do you
think major changes should be brought in in order to fight corruption?
(My country suffers from this issue too as you can see) And also, will
military budget cut down help prevent possible tensions with Sudan
over your oil-rich regions? Olga Zykina
How many must die? I don't understand why the people that are against
the GOSS always come from Nuer? I know your complaint might be right
but ask yourself if you are doing the right things. Since 1983, Nuer
people killed so many innocent people on their way to Ethiopia and up
to today Nuer people are not satisfied of the people that they have
killed. How many people do the Nuer want to kill before they stop
killing? Daniel Agau, Tampa, FL. USA
Divine intervention needed in South Brother, all that you mentioned is
correct about our national celebration day; we have a culture that
does not allow skillful people to organize such events. All that it
takes is for one to be a public robber and an international
disorganizer. Our people do not yet know the meaning of a nation and
national functions. Some of us really pity the roots being taken by
our beloved nation. It is a shame to have a country that is devoid of
human ethics. We really need a divine intervention. Mading Majok,

Fake money story again in South Sudan. There is a real question here
whether the new notes that are circulating around and all over South
Sudan are sealed well. In 2003, New Sudan currencies were issued in
Rumbek with name of Kuol Manyang Juuk, that almost caused anger to the
people of Rumbek who were by than using old Sudanese pounds while the
rest of South Sudan Towns were using Dinars. This is a little bit of a
story how that New Sudan or Kuol Manyang Juuk money ended its
circulation in Rumbek. I remember when a man sold his cow with 45.000
Kuol Manyang notes in Rumbek cow’s auction. When the buying was done,
the owner of a cow was wearing a (Jallabiya) Sudanese traditional
cloth, putting his money in the pocket and left for his destination.
Before reaching Cuiadukan village just 3 miles from Town centre, the
rain fell lightly not heavy as the man ran for shelter to a nearby
house along the road. The whole of his clothes plus his legs were
green because of the color of money and the notes themselves were
compacted as if putting a toilet paper in water and than squeezing it
with the hands. When the man realized it that the money given to him
was fake, he run back to Rumbek Town calling (Nhalilic de wa Hei
Nhalilic) God heard his voice, when he reached Rumbek freedom square
he saw the man and his cow crossing the Rumbek centre to his
destination. The cheated man was calling loudly as if someone died, so
the man with the cow stopped and waited for him to reach. Local Police
rushed in to rescue the situation by taking the cow and compacted
paper and told the two people to come by the following morning so that
they would be sent to court. My father, Ater Majing Diar and Makur
Akech Riak, being the oldest chiefs who would settle the case fairly
were given the matter. When the complainer started his appeal and
narrated how this happened, everyone in the court laughed and when the
accused person responded everyone in the court laughed, before the
chiefs decided who to blame in this matter. The Rumbek commissioner
who was by then Mr. Kau Nak requested the Chiefs to hand over the case
to him because both men were absolutely innocent. They were taken to
the Nile commercial Bank near the court and then the commissioner
asked the Bank to take the waste paper and issue 45.000 new notes to
the man who sold his cow, but immediately, the man who sold the cow
refused saying he could have his cow back or the Bank should give him
the old money. So, the bank started from that day giving back the old
Sudanese pound which was used in Rumbek market and that was the end of
fake money or Kuol Manyang Juuk money in Rumbek. Therefore my appeal
to my government in Juba is that everywhere in the world there are no
currencies where you can find three peoples' names on it, Dr John
Garang's head is enough, I do agree with people who are questioning
some mistake on our new money. Indeed what is the point of Deng
Athorbei and Malok Aleng names on public notes, instead of signature
of a governor of a Bank? Another question is that are these money
different from Kuol Manyang Juuk money in term of sealing? Matur A.

Gen. Kiir has gunned down accountability President has proved to be
incompetent in terms of administration and in refusing to discipline
those who acted inappropriately while holding important public
positions. Late last year or early this year, the interior ministry
and the police chief were criticized in a police rape or sex scandal
in John Garang Police Training academy where fellow female trainees
were raped and gagged or threatened if they reported to any media
house or complained about what had happened. Every citizen expects
their bosses to lose their positions respectively yet nothing happened
nor was there a public inquiry into the alleged crime. The president
maintained his silence as if the victims were not under his leadership
or the alleged incident was not a crime capable of punishment. Few
days ago UNMIS found one of the victims locked up in prison in Juba
without charge, reasonably she was held for fear of incriminating the
interior ministry and the police department led by Mr. Kiir's cousin.
These accusations without probe shows the president is afraid of his
home boys and the prospect of him losing power if he gets tough on his
allies. He refused to side with public and maintained closed link with
his party junkies even if what they have done is morally wrong and
condemnable by any standard. It also shows lack of strong internal
policy. The interior minister and the police chief should resign or
Mr. Kiir should assume full responsibility and tell his men to do so.
This is where President Kiir has shot and killed the accountability
and every man is behaving recklessly and irresponsibly because they
have no where to report to. Mongping, Australia
