February 15, 2016 (BOR) – The sharing of assets, which emerged
following the creation of four new regions out of South Sudan’s
Jonglei state has finally been implemented.

The allocation, officials said, was mainly determined based on
population sizes in each of the state. A state with lots of people
took the lion’s share.
After creation of 28 states by president Salva Kiir in October last
year, Jonglei was was divided into Western and Eastern Bieh states,
Boma state and Jonglei state.
Boma state was excluded from the sharing because it was formed as a
separate administrative unit before the 28 states were instituted by
last year’s presidential decree.
The ex-government of Jonglei state registered assets legible for
sharing in the state late last year. Although the value of the assets
was not publicly announced, it was clear both cash, debts, movable
assets and workforce within the state government were to be shared
among the four states.
Last week, at the time of the sharing, there was SSP1.5 million in the
government treasury and unpaid outstanding loan of SSP9 million as
well.
According to the ex-director general in the local government ministry,
Bashir Deng, now the secretary general in the new western Bieh state,
SSP1.5 million cash was divided according to the new state population.
“The actually amount of money, 1.5 million that was in cash was
divided according to Population. Jonglei had the lion share, followed
by Eastern Bieh and Western Bieh was the least”, Bashir told Sudan
Tribune.
But Mawut Achiek, the secretary general in new Jonglei state said
dividing assets and debts by population size was an easy and fair
method so far.
Everything that was purchased using government money, was distributed
in the same way, including computers, shares and tables, he added.

....With most national and state budgets going to salaries for
unproductive labour, I don’t see the benefit of the asset in question.
Waste!

Bol Kong of Lou Nuer is cheated again?
So in the division of assets the Lou Nuer population of
Western Bieh from former Jonglei is the smallest.
Greater Bor population became the largest followed by Greater
Fangak population of Eastern Bieh state.
What a population census in Bor.

i think the population considered was the workforce not
just mere population of 1 2 3 in real sense Eastern Beah can be
leading in term of population and number of people working are less
compare to Jonglei state
