Redistribute oil revenues to households, UN tells S. Sudan government
By Julius N. Uma
November 16, 2011 (JUBA) — A senior United Nations official on Monday
urged South Sudan government to develop a cash transfer system as a
mechanism for equal redistribution of the oil revenues to each
household in the country.
told the ongoing Governors’ Forum, to ensure that every citizen
benefits from the proceeds of the country’s oil resources.
“It’s important for the government to give its people living in
households across the 10 states of the country a share of the oil
money. This will give them an extra means to live decent lives,” she
said.
In recent months, there have been repeated attempts to diversify South Sudan’s economy to avoid over reliance on oil
revenues, which supports about 98 percent of the country’s economy.
Grande, however, reiterated that much as Africa’s newest nations is
still faced with enormous challenges, the onus remains on the
government to ensure that certain key issues affecting its post-war
recovery efforts are addressed.
She specifically cited the fight against corruption and insecurity, and
good governance as key areas that require address through a multiple
approach.
“For South Sudan to move forward, there is need for a vicious cycle
that will ensure good governance and accountability as part of the
development pillars within the country’s development plans,” said the
UN Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator.
Meanwhile, another UN envoy has asked the government to investigate
the circumstances under which the agency’s helicopter came under heavy
shooting from army personnel in Western Equatoria state.
Hilde F. Johnson, the Special Representative to the Secretary General
(SRSG) said the act totally contravened Chapter VII of the UN Charter
as per Resolution 1996 (2011).
“The UN strongly condemns such forms of aggression on its staffs
conducting their mandated work in the country and calls for immediate
investigations in to the incident,” Johnson told delegates at the
Governors’ Forum in Juba, the South Sudan capital.
The forum, based on the theme, “strengthening decentralized governance
in South for equitable service delivery and sustainable development,”
brought together all the Governors from the 10 South Sudan states.
Since its inception in 2006, however, the annual Governors’ Forum has
been fully supported by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in
collaboration with the president’s office.

The UN has spent $100s of millions over the interim period but nothing really is achieved. Most of their staff enjoy a life of adventure in an African nation they have no real intention of helping.
The government of RSS has ample work to do, but the UN is a corrupt enterprise which is in no position to lecture about accountability. They raise millions in the name of missions but misuse the funds

Grande, If these leaders of SPLM hear you talking like that including Kiir, they can even laugh at you. How can their wealth be redistributed to the poor citizens who don’t have ranks and they did not participated directly in the war? They will not get rich if they redistribute revenues equally. Sorry Sir, you will never get such a thing in South Sudan.

Off Topic and illogical as usual. When its corruption in south sudan they are hinting at – logic changes it to corruption in the UN. What a fake ! Do you get some of this money too ? When the UN lecture and spits allegations at sudan your too happy to offer your racist hatred and greet their statements with joy. Your a looser – a low life – a cheap sell – how much can i buy you for ?

I think the UN Humanitarian Coordinator has said the right things folks. Are you stupid as Jenubiin to accuse this UN agent of corruption while in fact she is voicing the exact crises facing Jenubiin in RSS. Absolutely, there is absolute need to redistribute the resources equitably or else don’t ask why there is a rebellion in the country. These challenges must be resolved as advocated by UN agent
Red Army

That is a stupidity Mr Logic to counter-accuse UN for having challenged your corrupted Dinka government. The UN Humanitarian coordinator is trying to do the best by advocating for the equitable redistribution of oil revenues and wealth so that every poor jenubiin must benefits from the national resources or cake. UN has the rights to scold RSS for lack of accountability and transparency.

Because UN are burdened with the responsibilities of feeding your poor people in Jenub Thudan with the international donations. So they deserve to reprimand your corrupted Dinka government to reform democratically to eradicate corruption, nepotism, and dictatorship so that there must be an accountability and transparency in this corrupted systems, where theft/graft had become the habits of thieves

This is an excellent job and I feel relieve when I see UN chiding this Dinkanized and corrupted government. UN must be delegated this responsibility to continue mount pressure on this corrupted system and autocratic regime or else rebellion must be an alternative option to resolve this crisis of corruption and dictatorship. These are thieves and not leaders to be recognized whatsoever. Kudos!

Try and do something simple, like changing your name perhaps. That shouldn’t be too hard now… Because clearly you’re not equipped for anything complex. lol.lol

The UN itself has published many reports detailing corruption within the organization, however you choose to insult me simply because you’re pretending to be something you’re not.
My friend, I advise you to open your mind or it shall remain shallow.

Once in your life time be realistic and logical!The UN is corrupt, I agree! But about $ 2 billions , just for example which dissapeared and that is TWO Billions in one year; did the UN steel this money from the GOSS! Talk to any Sudanese who is living in Australia and he will tell you how the sons of the SPLA liberators are living..just one like big mouth Pagan!Even Salva family…cont

Do some research on the these two names: Alexander Yakovlev & Vladimir Kuznetsov.
This should start you off in the process of mind expansion into the dealings of UN officials. Don’t let me down now.

What is it with you now, more insults! I thought we agreed to disagree while being civil.
My point was quite simple, the UN is corrupt, so how could it lecture GoSS about accountability, $2b is dwarfed by the loss in UN corruption. This is not advocating SPLM is free of corruption.

The UN is CORRUPT..OK! Are you telling us to be corrupt like the UN and this a very good excuse for corruption..come-on ..let us all looooooot!Again abusive language is the language of the weak! Truely are you getting your fair share from this loooooted money?!

Logic, tell me of any word of insult! Defending corruption is a huge insult to any Africans.The only reason behind all these wars is poverty , begining from tribal clashes to different rebillions. Only poor and hungry people could be recruited for war, because he has nothing to loose.Big fats will remain in-doors under the air condition!
Logic
Redistribute oil revenues to households, UN tells S. Sudan government
Asking me to be logical for once in my life doesn’t sound like a compliment.
I agree! but poverty is not the only reason for wars, although its the main one, the article is about the UN telling GoSS to be more transparent & accountable.
The message is right but the messenger is even more in need of the message, so its ironic hence my comment.
Logic

Ofcourse am not telling anyone to be corrupt nor can you draw that conclusion from my comments, read through again.
If you enjoy replying to my comments, I understand! lol, but stick to the points of contention, we would have a more constructive debate.
The West always accuses African leaders of corruption but its hypocritical, as they are more corrupt. That’s my point.

Red army,
Be advise that the recent list of most corruptors in the GOSS compose of all citizens not Dinka, Nuer or Dor (Jur) all faces were all there. Again the current Kiir administration is not hold by Dinka alone though they were the most affected during our struggle against North Sudan.

Logic,
you need to delete your first comment, or at least digress the point you made about UN. It’s shallow and flaw. However, the gulf state of Qatar is distributing oil & gas revenues to its citizens. Every citizen in Qatar has income every month from the government. South Sudan can do that to its citizens. Why not?

You are right because UN in South Sudan are supporting South enmies instate of doing the right thing,they are always corrupt and they don’t even know why they are here.I wish our RSS government should tell them to go and we remain as we are.

we understand if that is the secret planing you have against Dinka to infect them with HIV/AIDS. thank for your information. but one day God will judge for your ill opinions against Dinka. if there were no Dinka i think your mother would have been a concubine to jalaba and that is what you want.

Corruption started during papal state in Italy, and that resulted to french Revolution 1879 than continue to the league of the nation and than UN came in. Guys read about the Roman Chatolic church and u gonna understand the word corruption well. But anyway Grande is right 100%. Let us stop corruption in RSS and redistributed the oil revenues to everybody in RSS including myself equally otherwise..

redistribution in south sudan is needed by the south citizens but there is no goverment that can give all these services the people, we are asking united nation to intervince in implementation of these distribution, if not kiir and his leaders will consume all the revenue came from the oil in south sudan.

“Distributing the oil money from house to house will not take us out of poverty”
Garang said long time ago before he crashed. The oil money must be used to fuel agriculture, and thrust development forward. I know that these are just abstract terms to some of us. I think we will get closer to solutions when begin to ask questions like “HOW?”
Ahmed Chol, whatever begins in anger ends in shame

Dear logic, the question is not really whether ROSS or the UN corrupt or not, it is rather why such sensitive issue is raised by a top UN official in public. I am raising this bearing in mind the issue of individual compensation made by some on Darfur peace talks and the devastating affects it had on the process. Grande pls Make the proposal formally or leave that to academic-cum- intelligence guy
