‘Where there is no
rule of law, the rule of the jungle does not provide peace.’ By a
Kenyan official, May 14, 2010. (Daily Nation)
As
evidenced by the latest mind-boggling enormity and composition of the
GOSS Cabinet, Salva Kiir has demonstrated beyond any doubt that he cares
little by his perpetuation of misrule and disaster in our dear South
Sudan Nation.
How would
any serious and competent leader, especially in the current financial,
political and insurrection-ridden predicament in which we, south
Sudanese, are starkly confronting, conceivably create such a monstrosity
of a cabinet made of questionable incompetent political protégés,
failures and undesirables?
As a
feckless leader who seriously lacks any quantifiable leadership genes to
lead and develop a nation, Kiir has definitely ensured the misrule and
failure of the south Sudan nation by his devilish composition of such a
humongous politicized administration.
With more
than 32-plus previously tested and failed so-called ministers, and a
correspondingly corruption-ridden big government proportional to the
size of the cabinet, the worst guess is that the future of the south,
whether now or after the Referendum, is clearly precipitous and doomed.
We, the
people, sadly are going to see all money, whether from the oil
remittances or foreign aid that would have gone for development
disappear just as quickly as rain drops in the desert.
Just like those 7 to 8
billion dollars that easily vanished without any accountability during Kiir First Misrule government.
More
importantly, however, is the shameful fact that Mr. Kiir has blatantly
subverted all the civilized precepts and principles of electoral
democracy by his ill-advised appointments of such unpopular political
rejects like the Nunus, Luks, et al.
These days
in Juba, the Capital, one doesn't need to do open political surgery to
uncover that the face of President Kiir directly and unhappily
emblematizes an oppressive and devious leadership that stands accused of
having blatantly robbed the masses of their genuine leaders.
If Kiir
really wanted to truly demonstrate that he is a better leader especially
with all the Election rigging committed by his SPLM in connivance
with Abel Alier’s National Election Commission, he, Kiir, must first
sincerely embark on reconciliation and unity of the south.
Worrisomely, with the festering armed
military insurrections across the south, the imperative for the urgency
of reconciliation is absolutely important.
Unfortunately, a gullible Kiir stupendously chose appeasement of the few
instead of statesmanship, as demonstrated by his short-sighted brainless
reappointment of political cronies, failures and sycophants back into
the cabinet.
Like the
infamous Roman Emperor Nero, who sumptuously feasted in the face of
calamity, President Kiir appears inexplicably oblivious and uncaring
while South Sudan is literally burning as many innocent lives are
needlessly lost while there are on-going egregious commissions of human
rights abuses ostensibly by the SPLA.
Not
reaching out to reconcile with those of Gen. George Athor, Yau Yau,
Gatluak Gai or bringing into the new government such populist and proven
leaders like Gen. Alfred Lado Gore, Dr. Richard Mulla and others, Kiir
has portentously closed the door for any peace and concordance among
southerners.
Unless
Kiir adamantly refuses to see the writing on the wall, our smooth and
unfettered march to a successful Referendum and expected Independence
remains seriously precarious and unpredictable.
Paradoxically, there has always been a lingering truism among the people
that there is something inherently wrong with the SPLM and its armed
twin, the SPLA, and this has sadly persisted up to the present times.
Like
founder Garang, Kiir has shamefully proved himself a tribo-fascist, bent
on consummation of tribal domination at the expense of inclusivity of
all south Sudanese in the government.
By
publicly confessing to killing south Sudanese separatists during the
SPLM/A war, an unregretful Kiir has demonstrated utter callousness and
insensitivity for the sacredness and sanctity of our compatriots’ lives
that’s typical of the tribo-fascists who dominate the SPLM/A leadership.
Juxtaposing this SPLM/A psychosis to the current situation where the
same crimes now being committed in Khorfulus, Unity State and Pibor,
it’s evident that this leadership has yet to change and abide by the
ethos of a civilized society.
Similarly,
the entire Western Equatoria is today over ran and being terrorized by
the Lord’s Resistance Army while the tribo-fascists controlling the SPLA
criminally acquiesce to the incessant suffering of the Azande.
A corrupt
regime cannot control corruption. This is a most serious but expected
pitfall of a Kiir’s one-party kleptocratic regime.
How can
such morally bankrupted ministers face the same electorate that just
booted them out or how can the public trust them, really?
Then
again, with the new incompetent one-party dominated and rubber-stamping
parliament and the same inept Speaker now assisted by a literally
fossilized and de-brained deputy, any meaningful and vibrant democracy
is assuredly eliminated.
Finally,
as virtual political hostages, the entire southern people are now
completely at the mercy of the one-party, SPLM majority rule that’s
epitomized by the in-coming dysfunctional GOSS which surely carries
serious ramifications and pitfalls.
With the
numerous redundant clones of ministries to accommodate failed and
politically deadwood ministers, our dear South Sudan Nation has great
cause to worry about Mr. Kiir’s treasonous leadership.
That’s why
there is great impetus that immediately after the Referendum and hopeful
Independence, we, south Sudan nationals, must put into place a new
political and constitutional dispensation.
That is
how we can bring Kiir’s deplorable misrule, once and for all, to an end.
