Kiir calls on citizens to wisely select competitive representatives
December 31, 2009 (JUBA) — General Salva Kiir Mayardit, First Vice President of the Republic and President of the Government of Southern Sudan, yesterday called on citizens to wisely select competitive representatives during the upcoming elections.
During a meeting with members of media representatives on the occasion of the New Year on Thursday, President Kiir said he needs citizens to select, committed, loyal, hard working members of their communities and SPLM as a party for implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).
“We have remained with critical hours, hence need critical thinkers and determined to implement CPA to the letter and spirit,” he remarked.
He also appreciated participation and turning out made by people of Southern Sudan during voters’ registration, saying that they have turned out to register in a satisfactorily way. “I do urge our people to turn out massively during the elections exercises so that they cast their votes,” Kiir said.
He also warned against evil acts relating to application of favoritism and nepotism when choosing representatives to the different levels of government and to the assemblies.
“People should elect those who are really committed to maintaining security in the region,” he said calling on the people of Sudan in general and the people of Southern Sudan in particular to unite. He said unity is the power and power is unity.

Mr President Salva Kiir, unity of Southern is always not a big task, but insecurity is the major issue that we should improve at first, this matter has put many people to think apart from one another. The tribal attacked is one of the worse threat that is putting us into uncertain future. For instance If dinkas attacked munadari, mundari attack Azende, Nuer attack toposa, Lotuko attack nuer, shilluk attack muru and etc. To What extend will the people of South get their time to united? Another issue that I would like to point out is the settlement of people in every part of South, this problems has cause homeless to those come from exile recently. To united the people of South Sudan as one, we first need to ensure that all the gaps that cause problems in South must be resolved. the building starts from small to big, the same that if we want to be sucessfull, we have to use kaizen system as our main strategy to overcome this process. Imagine the shotting of 3 Kenyan businessman plus other injury by SPLA soldier on 30 Dec last year at a certain bar in custom, isn’t that a problem of insecurity? time to get serious Mr president.
New Year Message
Time for tribalism has gone, 2010 is not a time to generalise tribe or community instead of one person. It is time to focus on the real issue far from tribal criticism, political party criticism, leaders criticism, and very far from abuses or insults. The Government should also make possible innovation in order to removed the unwanted culture and bad reputation within its image. We should debate far from abuses of any single commenter on ST forum, to myself I want to be a man of tolerance, peace, responsbility, respect, love, unity and courage. It is time to get serious and work for the betterment of my nation South Sudan (New name). For now lets start new year with fresh mind and positive ideas that will improvement the managment of South Sudan, childish comments must be ignored without reply. This is my new year message to ST viewers, contributors, pseuds, readers and editor. Happy new year, all the best for life at mama suksuk hotels, Juba city, South Sudan.

Yes, we citizens of Southern Sudan must stand firm inorder to win the Khartoum government.
We must select those leaders that can stand firm on their feet with Southerners regardless of major issues.
We all know that 2011 election will be either separation or war. We need outstanding leaders that hate Khartoum aggression.
Thanks
