Vohra also disclosed India investment in Jonglei in telecommunication network; the Network of the World (NOW) with he says will ease international communication.

India Ambassador’s visit is the third international tour to Jonglei this year after South African delegation visit described as “show of commitment to South Sudan post war development” in May and another visit by head of British consulate in Juba early this month. The global diplomats’ visits to Jonglei capital depict progress made by government in peace and stability buildings this year.

Asked how long it would take to commence the Ward renovation; seen as to lift the collapsing civil hospital, the Ambassador says the work will be quicker than expected.

“This is a forward gift and my India engineers will start the work immediately,” he said.

The delighted Governor Kuol primarily hail Deepak, who is also a personal friend, for the visit and equally assured him (Deepak) of Jonglei government’s commitment to community services and complete roadmap to peace and security.

    Earning TRUST is all about ACTION and not WORDs.

    I bet Governor Kuol’s deed is more of assuarance to International diplomats that he is a guy who can offer Quality Leadership.

    Gen. Kuol is a man of high integrity whose knowledge and wisdom should even be claim by any one, since his life in struggle he remained royal to Southerners and his hardworking led to capturing of many towns from enemy during the liberated struggle. It is everyone prayer that God hold him up for us all, not only in Jonglei but the usefulness of all states in Southerners. Gen. Kuol, Captured towns and villages from SPLA stronghold of Torit all the way to unity state after he captured Jokuk in unity state in 1986 and in 1988 he captured Bor town and all the ways up to Torit and around Juba areas. Kuol never think of any highly position like those who were moving between SPLA/SPLM and Khartoum and doing nothing to let themselves known of what they can accompanied during the struggle and those who were thirsty to highly position and corruption should now learn from him, how to serve people with all your their heart and being honest to your people even giving your life, Gen. Kuol was many time wounded during struggled like his comrades. People needs to learn and be humble and honest to themselves, and not only be protected by their wife to cover up corruption charges. Place wife to protect you other south Sudan is corruption, not development. Long live man of people and down to hell the traitor of the South Sudan. By Ngwerajak

    What kind of future are we going to have in southern Sudan? we have already invited problems to ourselves and next generation, I have no problem at all in establishing diplomatic relationships with India, but it’s bizzare when people become thrilled that India perhaps may help in developmental process in the south. This is a hoax folks! India is a poor country, it has no extra resources that she can donate for us. Rafig (2008) who is an Indian said “poor,except cell phone”. “India’s struggle has been harder becuase of the problems of deep-rooted poverty and illitarcy”. having qouted all these snetences, world’s resources have relatively shrunk,and countries with
    a huge
    population like India are gleaning for opportunities. Let us not make another blunder mistake, we are very rich, we don’t need help from
    anybody. Our problem is the lack of effective leadership to channel these abundant resources toward development, that is the problem we should
    be focusing on
    . Frankly, next war would be over resources, seriousely. Thanks, Malok

    Yeah! India and China have a great appetite for oil and it is the right decision to visit the oil producing states of South Sudan.
