South Sudan to probe the fate of Garang’s $60 mln

Jan 16, 2007 (KHARTOUM) –South Sudan government has formed a committee to probe the 60 million dollar that the Sudanese president said he gave to the former SPLM leader.

The Government of South Sudan (GOSS) has decided to form a committee to investigate the allegations during peace celebration in Juba by President Omar al-Bashir that he gave 60 million dollars to the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) to bring its cadres and officials from abroad to form committees to implement the CPA.

The committee is headed by Samson Kwaje, the minister of Information and Broadcasting, said the Khartoum Monitor in its today’s editorial.

Samson should find out if that is a regular move. How is such a large amount of money given to one person? Was it is given in cash or was it sent to his bank account in the country or abroad? Also find out where the amount came from?

“The result of Samson’s probe will able establish the credibility of the SPLM as worthy signatory of the CPA or tarnish its image.” The daily said.
