The report Sudan Tribune obtained shows that out of the SSP 447
million disbursed to the CMC account, only SSP 84 million could be
accounted for, raising questions on the whereabouts of over SSP 360
million meant for the crisis committee’s work.
Headed by the country’s Vice-President, James Wani Igga, the CMCwas
tasked to assess the political, social, economic, security and
diplomatic effects of the conflict that broke out in the young nation
in mid-December 2013.Several government officials were part of the
committee, established in a decree issued 30 April, 2014.
The report details how ministers, military generals, political and
other government officials as well as business people received cash
payments from the CMC secretariat and the Bank of South Sudan in
complete disregard of the country’s Public Financial Management and
Accountability Act, 2012.
According to the report, the National Security Services in the Office
of the President, Obuto Mamur Mete, received SSP 5 million of the CMC
money, which was wired on account number 00269192001203 in Bank of
South Sudan on 5 February, 2014.
A separate payment of SSP 3.5 million was made to Mamur on 4 March, 2014.
Also implicated in the report is the deputy Minister of Information
and Communication Technology and Postal services, Akol Paul Kordit who
received a cash payment of SSP 444,345 on 22 January, 2014, the acting
chief administrator in the office of the president, who doubles as the
chief of state protocol at South Sudan’s presidency, Ambassador Bol
Wek Agoth who received USD ($) 173,594 for unexplained activities.
Others are President Salva Kiir’s daughter, Adut Salva Kiir, who was
paid SSP 14 million to supply fuel and other unexplained expenditures,
Machok Majong (Member of Parliament from Gogrial State), who received
cash payment of SSP 412,500 on 18 February, 2014, Hellen Andrea Juma
and Mabior Nhial Mabior (both senior cashiers at the Office of the
Vice President), who withdrew huge sums of money indicated on the bank
statement, but no accountability provided.

minister, Martin Elia Lomoru, parliamentary affairs minister, Peter
Bashir Gbandi, roads and bridges minister, Rebecca Joshua Okwaci and

The whole government is involved in mismanagement of the countries
resources. Change must take place.

Well, everyone mentioned on this need to bring the public
money back. We, the South Sudan citizens knew about mismanagement of
public money, but no one was mentioned like this before. Thus, please
bring the money back on time. President Kiir, now you knows people who
took the money by their names. You have to hold people accountable
otherwise you need to step down and let other people take care..

I agree with you, now that all the corrupt officials are
known, President should hold them accountable, freezing their account
both in country and foreign countries including confiscating their
properties. If president cannot managed therefore he should step aside
so that a competent person can take over and lock all criminals behind
bar.

Tito,
The fish starts to rot from the head to the body. Kiir
is not a saint. He initiated this mess. He should therefore go so that
South Sudanese elect a legitimate leader.

I agreed with all of you but be a little bit fare Kiir

thieves harder triple the figures in front of each thieve in return
followed by a mass dismissal & imprison if necessary in fast move
before a mass defection either to UNIMES or IO camp to happen Kiir

Ant-corruption commission need to set up investigation to do
this case otherwise South Sudanese people are in mess. Whole
government involve in this case. So CMC was form to enrich certain
government officials

That is everyone in the Kiir govenment. Taking action against them
would mean stabbing himself in the foot. Kiir is stuck in a quagmire
and there is no way he is getting out of it unless he manages to
arrest all of those individuals and exile them. But then again there
is that loyal tribes that are willing to die or kill the innocents for
their idiotic/corrupt ministers when arrested. Sad!!

I used to blame Kiir, but now I don’t. As a president, what
can one do when the Ministers of national security, arm forces and so
forth.... are busy trying to fill up their bank accounts and taking
their kids to schools in other countries? Who else can be trusted to
enforce the law? A law is not a law till enforced...and those who
would be the enforcers of laws are the culprits.

The only answer to this malady will never be found through
rebellion or from Generals criticizing the same government they were
part of. The corruption tribalism did not start in 2013 but all the
way back to 2011 when only considering post-referendum period. Bad
governance can never achieved through killing the Dinka or the Kakwa
either....instead, the people of South Sudan united against the...

government, irregardless of whether the people in this
corrupt government are from our tribes or our cousins, uncles or
fathers. a prosperous Nation/Country is way...way better than a
successful Tribe in a failed nation. When we travel to other
countries, we are seen as South Sudanese. I would prefer to be a PROUD
south Sudanese from a beautiful, successful, and peaceful South
Sudan....

our so called politician turn thieves. so it is up to the youth of our
country either to united against wrong doers or support our tribes.
Any way we must do away with evil and lock in the culprit see for the
future leaders that can take us to the promise land. we are at mess

Dear Management of Sudan tribune
As a citizen of South Sudan, I am concerned that you have produced
list of names without original documents attached that would show how
much was taken by who and why. What was the reason for 26 Nuer people
to receive such small amounts while the rest go with high amounts?
What is the reason for Nuer MPs and regular people to get this money
and not others in S Suda

I AM PROUD TO BE A SOUTH SUDANESE THAN BE MY TRIBE (LUO)
BWCAUSE I AM SEEING THAT MY TRIBE IS JUST LIKE ONE PART OF MY BODY AND
THE REST OF THE TRIBES MAKE ME A COMPLETE PERSON. JESUS SAID IF YOUR
EYE MAKE YOU A SINNER IT BETTER TO PLUG IT OUT THAN GO WITH ONE EYE.
SO IF SOME PEOPLE ARE FAILING OUR COUNTRY IT BETTER TO PUT THEM BEHIND
BARS AND BRING IN NEW ONE.

A m I wrong to say that the whole government in the republic of
south sudan is involved in this scandale? Big shame!, i am happy that
the office of president is involved too. This move is the last move to
kiir’s downfall#kiir must go.

It’s Kiir’s clueless supporters, who are even wallowing in abject
poverty, that have allowed Kiir to continue toying with Sudan Suadn
and South Sudanese resources. Kiir should have been long dumped in the
dustbin of history. Cry the beloved country!!!!!

Eastern,
Kiir is going no where. Please prepare yourself to live with
that fact. This is not because he is the best, but taking him away
without clear plan will bring more suffering to our people. Libya and
Iraq are living good examples of our life.
For this list, it needs to be investigated first before firing
words up. When will Sudantribune becomes a reliable source of truth?

so these are the people you are supporting? these are the people
you call government? these are the people you are willing to even
commit suicide just to make them stay in power? now that they are all
mentioned by names and even the amount that they embezzled, we want to
see accountability now. before they go and rebel against the country.

cont..
but I am quite certain that they can’t held them accountable,
that can’t happened at all you know why? because these are tribesmen,
friends, family, daughters..etc and last but not the least he(Kiir) in
one way or the other is also involved which means he is one of them.
I have said it earlier that you have to get your hands dirty
in order to be trusted and remain in this gov.

Kiir must be blame why he only approved those big amount to the
people that go and corrupts it rather than approving to they needy
people who are always dying of hunger in the country.

Tears on my cheeks, Theft becomes a culture in south Sudan. They
have formed that organization (CMC) as a way of enriching themselves
while declaring famine in parts of the country. Begging international
donors always and nothing is done to the right beneficiaries instead
leaders steal the money and filled their private accounts to the top
and closing their eyes pretending things are well. Idiots!

CMC, there are some names yet to come but ST make the list a bit
comprehensive by detailing whether the money was in Usd or Ssp.

9 March 09:39, by Liel-le
I bet, if the names were not displayed - the whole saga was going
to be blamed on Dinka. Good Lord! The list is touching all including
women. Can we stop pointing fingers on communities now and start
advocating for regime change? These are just hungry hyenas
representing the entire nation.
