The glue binding political and tribal chauvinists in South Sudan is equal to the impunity that had been there since the establishment of this SPLM-led government. One can at times term it as a deliberate policy taken due to ignorant of the civil masses on what their government is supposed to be doing or it falls under the cheaper slogan of time for those who liberated the country to quench their thirsts. If it is meant to allow time for war veterans to quench their long thirsts, can the SPLA foot soldiers that bled and amputated be part of that? It remains your answer.
No political force has ever come to power without clear philosophy and agenda as a barometer and guiding star while sailing across turbulent waters. These turbulent waters could be deviation because of corruption, and negative egos whose motive is to satisfy personal agenda besides the main political benchmark targeted.
SPLM is the wealthiest political party still enjoying the support of the rural uniformed illiterates across the ten states of the country. Being a timely wealthiest does not mean you are never subject to competitive political bidding after all there is no clear record on the continent of Africa of a political party that is ever there unshakably.
The kind of political machinery we have are seasonal depending on the most prevailing circumstances. Kenya Africa National Union (KANU) had enjoyed the record of being the longest ruling political party in Eastern Africa. Reasons that made it possible for KANU was the charismatic nature of leadership it started with especially from the founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. President Moi also held the power mantle with a closed iron fist. Applicability of later factors is not possible in South Sudan given the nature of Nilotic African ethnicities in South Sudan.
So long as the current political expletive predicament persists uninformed rural illiterates will remain victims of impunity. Tribal chauvinists will continue inciting communities to kill themself like what is threatening in Jonglei and other states. Slack in bringing justice to culprits will persist without clear knowledge of what accountability could be and this actually amounts to clear concealment of wrongdoers.
As long as their political talks are still far from relating to political works, politicians will continue with reckless talks that are never implemented. It is a state of preaching water and continues sipping wine. It will now be upon the disciples to read in between the texts. Political goons will openly continue preaching economic boon yet its offspring is massive suffering and later on traversing appeals to International Organizations to quickly bring emergency and relief assistance.
As long self-anointed leaders proudly continue raising funds to mobilize marauding youth to inflict harm on parts of society in our watchful view ascension of such leaders into national leadership through the blessing of their tribes will just continue, after accountability is still a useless foreign term in our daily vocabulary. And as long there is no political benchmark set for each and every person assuming the position of a senior public servant whether be it a politician or any other senior public service officer, millions will come and go without a tangible score or traces that can be shown to other generations. Every leader will come to pass and dock free without accountability because it is a habit that has anchored its roots in the bloodstream on account of ignorance.
When the first minister of finance of the former government of Southern Sudan Hon Arthur Akuien Chol dared to suddenly pull off the lit from Pandora's box, it coined a theory in public minds that the God of innocent lives in South Sudan has started its work of letting those doubted officials regurgitate what they might have wrongfully swallowed. It is the start of accountability if capitalizes upon, and it is the start of name tagging dignified personalities suspiciously likely to go away with public debts.
In the traditional practices of most African communities across the region, when a person has sensed an end of his/her life in serious sickness, close relatives come around that person to interrogate him/her to reveal if he or is still in possession of somebody’s belongings so that it is refunded or compensated before death. It is believed that if a person dies with debts it brings bad omens to both his soul and the offspring still alive. It is a traditional method of accountability without referring to a court of law. People were honest and mindful of whatever legacy they might leave behind, whereas it also cleanses one soul from sins committed while still alive.
The views expressed here in any way don’t reflect that of the institution Atok might have paid allegiance to. They are solely a person; hence he is answerable to pay any price or burden associated with a result of dissatisfaction.
