One thing that, our people don’t get it is when you have been giving such a good opportunities to show your work by doing what the citizens want you to do unfortunately, that was not the case now in our people’s minds simply because they thinks they are better than others and that is why people being appointed to do good job but they did nothing to his own citizens this is one of th big failured from our people. I would say uncle Anei Kueidit is very good guy if he was not been brainwatched by some people from within Warrap State in the beginning then, the Warrap State would have been better than now but let himself to be fool by those Cdrs who were desperately to removed Warrap’s Capital to their area the inner of Wau.
This time I think this uncle Mr, Anei Kueidit will do a good job, because he was been accused at the time when he was the new governor of Warrap State that some Cdrs and other unknown name leader from within Warrap itself told him to transfering the real Warrap Capital to what is known now as KuachJok which I call it the illegal deal between him and those Cdrs and other person who were telling him to do so that he will be appointed as a governor of Warrap State instead of bringing that case to public view so that, they can choose freely whatever which areas they like most to put the Capital of Warrap.This recorded has not yet go away from my uncle Anei Kueidit, because he was committed making dealt with those Cdrs illegal but few months he was been dismissed from the governor.
Any way the KuachJok Capital in my opinion will be change again for only two reasonable. The first reason if the question is why KuachJok Capital will be remove again was because the people who did that by transfering the real Warrap Capital was done through the favoritism, cronyism and that is actual nepotism when unknown leader allude on something like that it could caused more problem in the future. The second reasonable is for fact that, KuachJok area is the inner of Wau, the Capital of Western Bahr el Ghazal State. Those two things in my opinion are the fact that can not be ignore if the reason why Southern Sudanese were fighting for almost 22 years for such unfairness deal and must be avoid in Warrap State.
In the end, I had brought up this case of Warrap Capital so that whoever read it can tell uncle Anei Kueidit some advise so that, he will avoiding any mistake again, because you work for people and you don’t work for a single leader to make a favoritism to him and the transfering of Warrap State Capital have brought a lots of doubtability to the president Salva Kiir Manyardit when people go to talk about nepotism and favoristism which were all being discussed during the first Rumbek Conference and I thought the president Salve Kiir Manyardit would have rejected those Cdrs and Anei Kueidit who transfer the Capital of Warrap State to KuachJok to understand my point here, not because I need the Capital of Warrap to be in my area as it was but because people did fought for such unfairly deal in the Sudan government and I think the president Salva Kiir still need to say something this otherwise we will be going to Rumbek conference and read some satatement about nepotism.
