Machar says South Sudan and Kenya further economic cooperation
December 2, 2011 (JUBA) – The Vice President of South Sudan, Riek Machar, said the newly independent state and Kenya shall further their economic cooperation for the benefit of the two sisterly nations.
The second group of ministers is expected to begin the retreat on Sunday.
He said both the Vice President of Kenya, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, while briefing the retreat in Mombasa on separate occasions last week, assured of Kenya’s projects aimed at promoting economic cooperation.
The construction of Lamu port, which will be used by South Sudan and Ethiopia besides a plan to build a railway and a highway to the border area with Kenya are among these projects.
The Kenyan official also stressed that a pipeline for exporting the crude oil from South Sudan to the Kenyan ports is included in their plans.
Machar told the cabinet that the discussions with the Kenyan government will lead to “cooperation in technical and knowledge transfer, technical assistance, economic cooperation and support in international organizations.”
“As you know, in terms of global and regional challenges, geography is no longer an impediment to growth. In the course of this retreat what we have identified are global responses – innovative new approaches that extend across national, geographical and cultural boundaries,” he stressed.
The landlocked South Sudan hopes such cooperation would lead to unfetter its economy for the Republic of Sudan as the two countries still diverge about a package of a number of outstanding issues among which the fee of oil transportation though Port Sudan.
The one-week retreat program provided for intensive presentations and discussions between South Sudan ministers and their Kenyan counterparts on the following issues:
1. Public service management and development,
2. Reconstructing public administration after conflict:- strengthening human resources in the public service;
3. Collective responsibility in government;
4. Managing government business;
5. Visioning for national development;
6. Engaging citizens in Nation Building;
7. Government financial management and budgeting;
8. Cooperative Movement in national development;
9. Corruption and its impact on nation building;
10. Managing ethnic diversity;
11. Managing Ethnic diversity;
12. Management of external relations in the contemporary world;
13. Government communication and media relations;
14. Regional and international economic agenda.

Mr. Machar,
Be afraid, very afraid of any business proposals from Kenyans. South Sudan will regret it if we allow the Kenyans to build and own the infrastructure that are to connect the two countries. You must insist on joint ownership of these projects: The railway, the highway and even the port of Lamu. Ideally an independent company jointly owned by the three countries should own and run these

Those absence minded leaders entered contract without proper analysis, Kenyan are good anyway but they do what is good to their people not people of this country. My point to note here, I think we should first compare the overall charges of pipeline and other economic transportation of S. Sudan properties via Kenya port and post Sudan. Which one is higher, lower and economical to go finally about

…about it. We may be running away from mutual source or a better route and end up in extravagance expenditure somewhere. Anyway, that’s what I think right to be done.

J P Puok,
Machar was my class mate at the University of Khartoum. I did Medicine and he did Engineering. There is no way he can be 49 years of age! Add another 10 years and you are probably spot on.

To Sudan tribune website it seem to me that they misunderstood the principle of freedom of expression and media as give by Article of 24 South Sudan constitution.So there is reasonable restrictions for the State individuals shall refrain from inciting Regilious ,Ethnic Racial and cultural hatred and shall not agitate for violence and war.So
Sudan tribune News paper must be guide by Law.

There you have it, Khartoum should be nervous by now with this news, this is exactly what South Sudan need to do. Soon we’ll wish north Sudan a good-luck for their $ 10.5 billion demand in five years from South Sudan!

I thought that, Dr. Riek might be wiser than the rest of his friends but time proof me wrong. what sort of cooperation are you trying to do with kenya? kenya is now facing alot of problems starting from drought to starvation, so it need to get some one to milk resources from inorder to resolve this crisis. Tell me what will south sudan gain from this cooperation?

Mr. Lokaku,
I you’re absolutely correct in comment. South Sudan need to smart politician. Kenya will eat south Sudan for lunch in this business.
Until Machar apologized to Equestrians, and Western Barh El Gazls, otherwise he should not be trusted. Apologies to Bor people only is not enough. Machar and Lam Akol are still good friends. Akol should be jailed, and charge with treason against ROSS.

Force 1 or whatever you are. I am a south sudanese living in South Sudan helping my people and not living off welfare in some european or north american country. Yes, we were at the University of Khartoum with Machar, Lam Akol etc when there was only one University in the whole of Sudan.

Man to Man,
Thanks for the request. Unfortunately those of us who are not politicians or boot-lickers to petty politicians are not wanted. Yes, I am in South Sudan and doing other things other than medicine, even when I have three medical degrees under my belt.
