Mayiik and Ateny: The Dead Woods in the Kiir’s Juba Palace (J1)

Quote: “The real prison is the wall of silence erected around you
by your colleagues, which prevents you from seeing or hearing the
truth, until I have arrived to this place (Paris), I didn’t know I
have been overthrown in Khartoum” says Sudanese President late Jafaar
Mohammed Nimeri in 1985.
By Kharubino Kiir Garang, Juba, South Sudan, JUL/20/2017, SSN;
One of the revulsions of history is that it often repeats itself.
After dethronement of Mayen Wol Jong and Yel Luol Koor from J1 on
financial scandals, there was hope that J1 is liberated from all sorts
of corrupt cartels.
Unfortunately, here arose other bastards in J1 in person of Ateny Wek
Ateny, the president’s spokesperson, and Mayiik Deng Ayii.
These dudes are not only administratively corrupt but intellectually
bankrupt to serve in the highest office of the land. They erected the
wall of lies to block the truth from reaching the president.
They control President’s ears, they determine what to give to the
President to hear and what to ignore. They deprive him from hearing
the truths from grassroots.
Not only that, but they are also depriving him of meeting good people
carrying gospel messages. They are destroying him!
Honestly, his office is filled with people attributively incompetent.
His office is packed of people that are either unschooled or
functionally illiterate. Others are gifted bloviates, introverts and
loquacious people. They are a disgrace to the Presidency in disguise.
They are unproductive and unappreciative. They helped a lot in
destroying this man, a man of adjustable coats and characteristically
humble. Socially cordial but politically less absolved. That believes
in people and trusts them without verification; though he is a
strategist, he is not decisive, wise but doesn’t have common sense, a
strong leader but doesn’t command.
Nevertheless, by his side always is good luck.
A man that forgets more than he remembers, doesn’t evaluate the
performance, fails to hire qualified ones, recycles the bad confidants
and expects different outcomes. At times, he finds it hard to
penetrate through political traps.
His patience and good luck are enormous that his match is rare. That
is our President Salva Kiir described in few short sentences.
Like most elders from his ethnic extraction, he over-trusts. In most
cases, he suffices within the circle of his foes.
Although his fickle personality has denied him the best description a
revolutionist deserves, he still holds a significant respect within
the circles of his society.
Despite these great characteristics, he can as well be well described
with negative adjectives ordinarily to the considerable displeasure.
He is a man who has allowed incoherent aides to encircle him and
erected the bulwark to prevent truth from reaching him.
In other words, he will be remembered for his love of espousing the
gossip mongering.
One such character is the perpetually bragger and eyeless Ateny Wek
Ateny, the man in the President’s press room. He is a man with an
open-mouth, a holder of a certificate in criminology and criminal
justice, who pretends to be a lawyer.
To call a spade a spade, this creature is fit for a job of
investigator and thus a true suitor for Criminal Investigation
Department (CID) in the National Police Service.
He is a barricade to progress in the media sector of the big office.
He has done nothing to shine the Presidency in media fraternity. In
fact, he struggles to utter suitable English words when addressing the
media.
He sometimes hire maverick writers to defend the Presidency if the
Presidency comes under media attack. He has totally failed the Press
office in the Presidency.
Another creature is the freaky Mayiik Ayii Deng who doubles as a
functional illiterate. He never graduated from University.
Rumor-mongers and trust tellers have on equal note and in unison
accepted that Mayiik Ayii Deng outsource the presidential speeches.
He cannot write a good speech. He can’t piece a significant document.
The man is a thick-head. He is always cheesed off. An empty barrel,
huge but hollow. Masura!
With their lots of nothingness, they are contributing very much to its
downfall. Zilch —–success though they are kept there for decades.
They have projected the President in bad light. With Mayiik Ayii Deng,
presidency became the centre for deals. Ateny has turned the
Presidency as an honor to brag about. They have never created any
positive image for the big man.
Reliably, both men have been alleged to might have failed to even read
a page from the two volumes of a book that is a collection of
President’s public speeches.
Like elsewhere, that book is an independent source of the part of the
contemporary history of our liberation struggle. It is a very great
book that President can appreciate if he is served with a copy.
Skeptically, they didn’t take a copy of the book to the President to
read his well authored biography and a great collection of his own
speeches including those he cannot even remember.
Had he gotten the book, I believe the President would have sponsored
the publication of second edition because there are some errors in the
book.
In other words, President Kiir would have called these writers that
had volunteered to waste their time, resources and energy to compile
the speeches for a ‘thank you’ meeting and handshake.
I bought one from the bookshop and it is appealing. It has great
collections of the President’s speeches, interviews, articles and
letters. These young men deserve appreciation for transcribing videos
into scripts. Very hard work, just imagine transcribing ‘BBC Hard
Talk’ video into a script!
One may wonder, where on earth would a president be surrounded by
people who cannot do research? People who do not have ability to go
through the compiled information? It is only in South Sudan!
These people have failed in many aspects. Ateny has never effected the
job, instead he has been stammering while inconsistently addressing
the media. He loves the cameras that he feeds it with falsehood that
are indefensible.
It is as well alleged that majority of those in the office of the
President depend on magic powers and that their passports would tell
you how they frequently visit Nigeria in search for magic powers.
President should help himself by booting out all such dysfunctional dead woods.
To conclude, the strength of any leadership is determined by the
intelligence of closet cohorts. It is pathetic that these cohorts of
Kiir in J1 are worthless.
Starting from the perpetually inebriated Tor Deng Mawien, the mentally
desiccated Gen. Awet Akot, to the legally dull Lawrence Korbandi.
Like the semi-illiterate group of Ateny and Mayiik, this group of blue
blood people can’t produce anything good for the greatness of this
country.
With ongoing shrinking of the President’s legacy, Kiir must sack them
all to save his reputation and claim it back again. I have my own
reservations but a lot can be said.
