SPLM Gubernatorial candidate launches election campaign in W. Equatoria
February 27, 2010 (YAMBIO) — SPLM party has officially launched its campaign in Western Equatoria State (WES) on Saturday the 27th Feb. 2010 in Yambio at the Freedom Square after three miles procession to Sugu-siro by supporters.
The aspiring SPLM Candidate to contest for Governorship in WES Jemma Nunu Kumba was the guest of honor. The launching came after the end of SPLM campaign season, organized to orient its members.
Business centers in Yambio town were closed as trucks and buses stormed Yambio capital suburbs to ferry the supporters to witness the launching of the SPLM campaigns in Western Equatoria State Yambio.
Chanting the party songs, the jubilant procession headed from SPLM State secretariat to Suk-Siro 2 miles from Yambio town before settling at the freedom square in the heart of Yambio town where they listened to speeches from various party die-hards.
Unveiling their symbol of a white star in a black triangle, the SPLM candidate for the post of governorship H.E Jemma Nunu Kumba pledged to uphold the value of CPA and the interest of people of WES which include peace, equality and prosperity only acquired through SPLM.
She pledged to fulfill the plans laid by her if re-elected as governor, stressing the achievements obtained during her governorship in the past two years.
She also promised to provide security to all aspiring candidates irrespective of their political affiliation as the care taker of the state.
The deputy Chairperson of SPLM WES who is also the aspiring SPLM candidate for State Assembly from Maridi West constituency number 9, Comrade Edward Bukulu before welcoming the SPLM nominated Aspiring candidate for the post of WES Governorship said that, “Today marks the bright day for the new Sudan which is for all Sudanese despite colors that is why SPLM is against people who want to be on top of others being the message of New Sudan”.
Bukulu further narrated the profile of Jemma, who was born in 1966 in Mopoi Payam under Tambura county, where she finished her elementary and joined Juba Day Secondary then to University of Namibia-Windhoek graduating with a Bachelor of Degrees in Public Administrations and political Science apart from other professional courses in the USA, Tanzania, Zambia etc hence she has full experience compared to others.
Stressing that, Jemma was amongst the SPLM delegations during the 2002-2005 Peace e agreement in Machakos and Nairobi and was the first woman to be elected by late hero Dr. John Garang De- Mabior in Juba in 2005-2008 for the national assembly in Khartoum.
He also mentioned that, Nunu was elected in 2006-2008 in the foreign relation committee and the leader of the Sudan Parliamentary delegation permanent for the Pan African Parliament in Johannesburg South Africa and vice leader of foreign relation in conflict resolution making her fit for the leadership of WES .
Madam Jemma was nominated in March 2008 as the Governor of WES in which she made use of her experience in collaboration with all her cabinets via their corporations.
Edward exerted that, the April’s general polls is not like a hungry person rushing for a well roasted chicken ready on the table only to be eaten, because of hunger, but it should be a hunger of everybody that is the problem of all Sudanese.
STATE RESOURCES
Observers have criticized the SPLM in the state for the use of State resource to launch campaigns; all vehicles in the campaign reading GOSS plate number were seen at the rally – setting bad example for other smaller parties who are not in charge.
HUMANITARIAN AID
The continues claim by Jemma Nunu to have constructed Yambio-Tambura and Mobile phone networks is giving negative impact on her campaign as most civilians regard her as a liar claiming such humanitarian projects – observers say, road projects, mobile phone network and FM radio were planned by Brigadier Patrick Zamoi the first governor after CPA before what many Western Equatorians his “illegal removal.”
United States Agency for International Development is funding road construction in Western Equatoria, under the supervision of UNOPS – a project which negotiated by former minister of Finance John Dabi.
Jemma is yet to unveil her new developmental plans that she has planned and achieved her tenure in the office.
Development related to hosting CPA is part of national celebration, which is should not accorded to one person said, Keliopa Nzari, a resident of Bangasu payam.
Most residents of Bangasu refused to board two buses sent to carry them for attending SPLM gubernatorial rally, saying “they don’t clean water in their villages which can warrant their support to Jemma Nunu.”
State vehicles went to neighboring places to carry participants to attend the launching – with many being given 25SG as pocket after boarding the bus.

Thanks governor Jemma Nunu for your excellence dedication and devotion with SPLM through your great leadership style. It is very bad indeed when our fellow Southerners are blind by their poor sighted to talk against this great leader-governor Nunu. Now, can you guys see governor Nunu educational background in whicg some fools always says that he has no great educational background. See the truth prevail itself.
She has BS in Administration. OO my God!. why people spoil our great leaders through their selfish mouth. She wan to University Guys, why WES people are agaist this great governor. Five more years for you governor. She was also among the delagation management team of CPA, and she was apointed agovernor by our hero Dr John Garang de Mabior. Governor Nunu oyeee.

I like SPLM as a party for what it stands for but people like Nunu should fade from the political scene because they are the one responsible for the rot in SPLM that made them to be chosen when they are not required by the people. Bakasoro and all other independent candidates should win as much as those SPLM candidates who deserve to win e.g Jonglei governor certainly deserve to continue governing Jonglei state during this tough time because he is a tested man. You can’t just win because you have been chosen by SPLM when people don’t trust you with their affairs.
Everybody must be judged on their records and potential and that is what democracy is about. It is not about blind party loyalty, it is about informed support of those who are able regardless of whether they belong to the party or not. In fact, constituents must know that the party is not going to bring development to them, only their MPs will be lobbying and managing their development funds and that is where their vote should count.

Every body know Nunu will win this elections with a a landside over those fake independent candidates.
What qualifications does Bakosoro have? Nunu has both qualifications and experience to govern and implement projects.
Nunu brought mobile phone companies to WES so the people can communicate with outside world, She build the first FM radios so people can listen to news and programs, WES now is the only state with a new stadium in whole south sudan even Juba did not get a new stadium, government buildings are now standing in each county, trade is booming between WES and other regions.
All this developement has been brought by Nunu who is carrying the SPLM banner high. As a female candidate she deserve to be the governor of WES one more time compared to unqualified person like Bakosoro who already has a record of corruption.
Good luck to all the candidates wether SPLM, opposition or independent.
