South Sudan pledges to tighten anti-craft laws
December 11, 2009 (JUBA) — The regional government of Southern Sudan has pledged to continue support to the Anti-Corruption Commission and other institutions involved in fighting corruption by providing the necessary resources to operate effectively.
The semi-autonomous government launched a five-year anti craft strategy for 2010-2014. The strategy encourages efforts aiming to stop the abuse of public funds.
The Speaker of the Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly, Hon. James Wani Igga, said parliament is determined to initiate relevant acts compatible with international protocols and conventions into the national anti-corruption legislation.
Igga also called on civil society, the media and other stakeholders in the private sector to support government by coming up with anti-corruption and sensitization plans.
“There is need to ensure that the public service is subjected to safeguards that promote efficiency, transparency, accountability and recruitment based on merit,” he said.
The speaker further says corruption had the capacity to undermine the confidence of donors and the public support in the government if not properly checked.
According to him corruption impacts negatively on the poor, adding that this makes it difficult for them to afford cost for basic services.
He reiterated on both government and private institution to cement the achievements attained in the fight against corruption to build a strong foundation to eradicate the virus.
“I know it is possible fighting corruption to halt because I know our people are determined to making changes,” he said.

If there anti-corruption commission under the current GOSS, than it must start arresting Kiir and his Gogrial-Aweil tribes men. He is the most corrupt of all and he ought to be thrown in jail. What else is the commission waiting to hear from him? Appointing thievies and criminals into public offices to embezzle public funds is a crime against humanity period!

By making GOSS government transparent, employees need to be accountable to stop corruptions.
There are only two spheres in which GOSS do operate, the Dinka’s have looted the GOSS as personal asset and public sphere as things that GOSS does that affect the nation whether or not we want them to be changed.
The private spheres are things that we can opt out of when the GOSS does something in the public sphere; the public should have a right to know details about it.
When such details are obscured, there are opportunities for the entire nation to have access on it.
If we really mean “we”, then let everyone of us take o vow that we’ll not indulge or support anything towards corrupted Government of Salva & Sons. And DO ACCORDINGLY.
Actions speak more than words.
But I say it’s an ENTIRELY COLLECTIVE EFFORT. Until and unless a revolution takes place,corruption is difficult (and not impossible) to pass
Drinking the water of a well, one should never forget those who dig it.
