Instead, they are considered above the law and above financial management procedures. Their verbal instructions are revered like the voice and command of God. Interestingly enough, when the SPLM-Oyee Sec-Gen rushed to the Malakia Police Station to open a case against the ranting MP and former GoSS Finance Minister, Arthur Akuein, he (Oyee Party SG) thought he was too big to follow the police case procedures. He wanted to open a case while seated comfortably on a chair. But good enough the prosecutor on duty there told him to stand up and behave like any ordinary person in front of the law though the police officer on duty got afraid and called someone above him to come and tackle the suit from "above". But where will this lawsuit from "above" ends since it is touching the political cults from "above"? Will it end up in the court of law or will it get smoked out on the way to the court? Will it end up as media war with fake legal reality? Oh my goodness! This will be my follow-up in the coming days if not months or years. Dr. James Okuk, Juba. Mading Ngor is Our Rising Larry King: Yours is an honest article brother Manyok. Mading Ngor is our rising Larry King in Juba here. He knows how to look for sense and significant interviews. Those who fear and hate the truth are the ones calling him agitator. But the lifespan of liars is very short even if they are MPs. May God give Mading long life with credible media career as he has demonstrated so far and so good. Wake Parliament! Dr. James Okuk, Juba. Appeal against to misrule in Aweil Dear editor, as a Citizen of our beloved nation, I'd like to elucidate certain internecine matters that are affecting the citizens of South Sudan, for the case of Aweil State; the continuous unwarranted arrest, torturing and muting of the innocent civilians have reached the culmination. I would not talk of any other problem such as the case of Jonglei State this time but only the case of Aweil’s government versus its civilians! However, it would be so ridiculous and surprising this time when the citizens of South Sudan need to assuage from the long pain which they felt for 22 years of conflict, which lost millions of lives at large; no community amongst the whole South Sudanese communities is comfortable to such loss of their beloved noble young men and ladies during the war. Therefore, the government of the President Mayardit is currently hijacked by people who always want to show the Citizens in the communities how blazing they are. Nevertheless, it could not work in the principle of rule of law in the kingdoms of mankind due to the fact that all people are equal, holding the same right and must be judge through rule of law rather than an individual personal power inherited. Why using personal powers against citizens now? To pin it right, it would be clear to our considerate President Mayardit to intervene in such grievances facing the normal citizens of the country. I hope Paul Malong Awan, the governor of Northern Bahr El Ghazal State is hauling some powers and nobody dares deny this fact, however the misuse of powers against mere citizens is really out of rule of law that citizens of the land should adhere to it. On this case, I would like to request our leader, Paul Malong Awan to consider the rule of law, which exempts all of us from unwanted torture and pain. It is obvious that people respect you when you consider respect for them too, not because of threatening them but a matter of taking to heed to their source of complaints. Also, I would like remit to H.E. Paul Malong that entering community affair is something nothing less than autocratic principle which doesn’t match with mere civilians down the ladder and we should be taking care of our grassroots’ communities, Sir. Finally, I would like to request the Governor that interfering with chieftaincy is not suiting your position, Sir. You need to reconsider your decision against common citizens and they are your civilians no matter what you can do to them! Why shouldn’t the government consider the cause of our last long term suffering during the war? Chier Akueny Anyithiec, Agriculture Economics Student, BS University, Uganda To Commissioner of Fangak county What you should know Mr. Commissioner is that what makes you to be there (in the office) are ordinary people of Fangak county, so if you have reached in a position of taking away their cattle (resources) on which they depend despite the fact that our people have been suffering of hunger, nobody will tolerate such an idea and agree with you. Likewise, to Fangak county MPs the CDF of 2010-2012 is badly needed by the Fangak county's people right now. Therefore, all of you can cheat the ordinary people but not the county as a whole. Moreover, you are asked to refrain from your acts otherwise we will speak out on people behalf.
