May 2, 2017 (JUBA) – Concerned about the “poor” working conditions in
the profession, judges in South Sudan on Tuesday declared a nationwide
strike, demanding the chief Justice’s resignation.

According to the committee chairperson for judges and justices, Khalid
Abdalla Mohamed, all courts across the country shall not function
after earlier calls to resolve the problem, failed to succeed.
The law fraternity is among others, agitating for the immediate
resignation or removal of the chief justice, Chan Reec Madut.
Also at the forefront of their demands, are the enactment of judicial
laws, transport allowances, improvement of working conditions and that
a court room be created for each judge across the country.
Last week, a similar strike was called off after President Salva Kiir
promised to meet the country’s chief justice to resolve the impasse.
Meanwhile South Sudan Bar Association (SSBA) has revoked an earlier
decision, which saw two lawyers suspended for failure to renew their
practicing licenses.
Kiir Chol Deng, one of the initially suspended advocates, described
the legal body’s decision as “null and void", vowing not to comply
with the directive.

Kiir called off the strike last week and promised the judges to
wait to consult with chief justices. Just a matter of day, Chief
justics and justice minister were full committed to eliminates the
vocal voices example Kiir Chol because he was term as Ring leader,
similar to what happened to Dr Dhieu Mathok in Crown hotel. Fools
thinks they are smart and clever and just settles for short term gains

Off course, it the fact each judge should has court room,
offices clerk, vehicle and equipment to facilitate his/her work. Those
money spent for deportation of opposition figure should used for
various pressing needs in the country. Kiir seem not to reading the
policies and vision of SPLM as party echoed by Dr John garang in
Rumbek and his brief of the outcome of Naivasha agreement.

Mr. Dengda, Salva Kiir has been working for the
independence of our country and our people. Do you idiot think, he
(Salva Kiir) fought all his life for the independence of our South
Sudan, but handover our country to evil corporate America, British,
their evil juus, their evil juus, their UN, their creepy NGOs and some
of their criminals in between in lieu of free food!>>>

The so-called judges can wait. Other people have
never been paid for three months, but they are not screaming at the
top of their dirty lungs about being paid. Because, we are at war. The
mighty SPLM/A fought the war with our so-called cloned arabs of North
Sudan. Without pay and manage to come on top. Our country is being
taken and be re-united with the evils we hate to death>>>

Kuch,
What is the relationship between the judges’ strike and the
international community? Can somebody help? This idiot must be
sniffing cocaine.
Who are they supposed to cry to when their working conditions
isn’t good? You even clearly accepted that some civil servants aint
paid for three months and if I’m not mistaken, your closest relative
is one of them. Don’t you feel sorry for them?
