    Lakes state parliament swears in new member

    Thinking of it, that is why there are ghost names in the employment in south sudan.

    This is why corruption is unprecedented in south sudan.

    Wow!! Does 14 wives that produced 45 children contributed to alleviation of proverty in south sudan? Congratulation to Mr. Ater J. Telar Jr; but please don’t follow your father’s footsteps by marrying 14 wives.

    This does not alleviate poverty in south sudan and it quickly leads to corruptions in the employment of ghost names to support this big family.
