Agriculture Minister Cleared From Corruption Saga Northern Bahr el Ghazal state parliamentarians cleared off the state Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Hon. Lual Dau Marach from previous accusations connecting him with public funds embezzlement in his ministry. 22 June 2015
By Agoth Abraham AWEIL, June 19, 2015 [Gurtong]- Lual was summoned by lawmakers in late May to answer to allegations related to misappropriations of institutional funds and was given two weeks to prepare and defend himself before the legislators. The minister appeared on the first week of June but was told to go back due to incomplete reports that he presented. On Wednesday this week, Lual appeared before the assembly where his agenda was deliberated on for more than three hours, with a resolution of clearing him off from corruption allegations. After the debate the Chairperson for the Agricultural Committee in the State Legislative Assembly, Hon. Aguer Wol Aguer confirmed to the public that the minister was falsely accused. “The assembly has today confirmed that the reports of the hon. Minister of Agriculture are satisfactory and sufficient enough based on analysis carried out by the August house. We have also confirmed that the reports are rated to be 90%.” The Agriculture Minister in response to the rating and feedback from the legislators appreciated the Assembly for their mandate and good cooperation. The legislators accused Lual of having loaned out over 890,000 liters of fuel for his personal use and the disappearance of over 100,000 SSP at his Ministry. Lual Marach was given two weeks to report back to the August House with a clear strategy on how the over 800 litres of fuel will be paid for and the missing 100,000SSP accounted for, failure of which he may face a vote of no confidence.
