Is EES ready for another mess?  Until now, the Eastern Equatoria State (EES) governorship race under the SPLM has been gaining momentum, with new faces entering the race. Unfortunately, we are not seeing opposition candidates showing interest, for reasons best known to them. Among the most disturbing developments is the declaration of Ajo Ohisa, the lead prosecutor in a high-profile case involving a prominent figure in the country. Many people have expressed varied views, and I want to add my observations in this article. First, I appreciate the need for inclusive elections, as long as a person meets the required qualifications. Ajo's expression of interest is constitutional, and he has the right to contest any available position like any other qualified person. As he picks up his nomination papers for the primaries, I wish him the best. However, every EES citizen should carefully assess each candidate, particularly Ajo, to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Educationall...

At first glance, I thought it was a joke until I watched the full clip. Many people have commented differently, with some accusing the pastor and others the LC2. Well, let us leave the rest for the law to judge, but I have a few observations. From what can be observed, the Reverend, the LC2, and the congregation each bear some responsibility for allowing the situation to escalate, although their responsibilities were not necessarily equal. The Reverend While exercising his spiritual authority, the Reverend appeared to cross the line by acting as though he had sole authority over the church proceedings. His intentions may have been right, but he should have excused himself when the LC2 appeared determined to speak to the people. A servant of God needs tolerance and calm when responding to a non-believer or an authority figure. Since it was the first time, the pastor should have controlled his emotions and avoided allowing the situation to escalate. Sometimes, exercising authority ...

First, I am grateful to everyone who responded to my open letter of concern. I recognised the diverse worldviews each of you has expressed. Whatever your points, I noted them with utmost attention. Second, I want to let you know that many of you have had abrupt endings without addressing the main issue. Let it be known that my letter recognises the contributions of Dr. Oreyma in its entirety. My letter calls on the authority to legalise his service in the country, where appropriate, as required by the law (Article 20 of the South Sudan Labour Regulations 2023, as amended). My letter calls on Dr. Oreyma to vacate the managerial position for a national, but not his service as a medical officer in the county hospital, if he is legally serving. The concerns we all need to look at are: What happens if a foreigner in the highest position, who is not immediately monitored, becomes unruly to the local staff, as some have expressed? What happens if he abuses his office with no one directin...

  ATTENTION: THE COMMISSIONER ATTENTION: HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER ATTENTION: HEALTH INSPECTOR 16-9-2026 COMPLAINT FOR THE DISMISSAL OF THE NEW MEDICAL DIRECTOR, MAGWI COUNTY HOSPITAL We commend your desire to recruit qualified and professional personnel to handle health issues in the county. However, we are dismayed that your office blatantly recruited an outsider who, under the labour law of the country, does not have the right to operate in the management of a government entity. Installing Dr. Oryema William as the medical director of the county hospital is a betrayal of the local people's interests and position. Magwi County is home to professionals who can direct their own affairs. Know that we do not underrate the competence of Dr. Oryem as a surgeon who should be hired on terms that meet the professional standards. However, it has come to our notice that Dr. Oryem does not have a national identity or a work permit to qualify him. Our complaint in this regard is clear: Dr. Ory...

“I thank God very much that I was relieved yesterday.”  Prof. Kachuol Abednego, 16-9-2026 What is special about Prof. Abednego thanking God? Most leaders always thank President Salva Kiir when they are fired, but Abednego’s gesture defied the slogan. One would wonder what is special about that. In December 2026, President Kiir continues to organise an impossible election. Prof. Abednego, as chairman of the commission, has repeatedly struggled to balance the books while concealing shame about the purported elections. He has repeatedly decried a lack of election funds but also shied away under pressure to obey his master. Those familiar with election processes understand the facts, unlike Edmund Yakani, the CEPO president, who is forcing the president to conduct the impossible elections in the name of citizens’ voices. When the news broke yesterday that he was relieved, Prof. Abednego thanked God instead of the President, unlike his counterparts, who celebrated, hoping to retur...
