A 9 December statement from the presidency, a copy of which Sudan
Tribune obtained, dismissed the two separate reports as” baseless and
false, claiming they were made up stories”.
The statement denied that Thiik Thiik Mayar, nephew of the president
had confronted Bol Wek, acting chief administrator in the office of
the president over the manner in which he relates to the relatives and
family members of the president. It says Thiik is neither a senior
official in the office of the president nor contracted to do business
or supply the office of the president.
It further denied the 280 million dollar was stolen, describing it as
a false, saying the office of the president was not a financial
institution to keep such amount of money.
“The presidential press office, once again would like to reiterate
that was reported is a false”.
But while the officials deny the occurrence of the two separate
incidents, several presidential sources insisted on the genuineness of
the reports, citing several past incidents which occurred in the
highest office, including theft of public resources in the same office
twice.
A presidential source, however, told Sudan Tribune on Monday the
release was issued after internal discussion had been conducted during
all the officials agreed to deny the occurrence of the two separate
incidents to avoid painting a bad image of the president.

Can those working in President office desist from painting bad
image of President. Don’t they learn from other world President
offices how officials of those countries work. It is very shameful to
do such frequently. Money loss, fighting in President office and so on
President Kiir need to relieved those working in his offices and
make new recruit otherwise they are spoiling President reputation
