@Afrikano26 I donโt see that happening. They have already damaged their reputation internationally. We owe others money we couldnโt pay back. The security situation of the country. This is just a stunt.
Adut Kiir is in South Korea seeking investors to build the Fula hydropower and water plants.
Had her father, President Salva Kiir, and the ruling family had not spent decades looting, mismanaging, and emptying the national treasury, these basic utilities would have been built years ago.
Instead of turning a resource-rich nation into a functioning state, leaders have run the economy into the ground. Delegations now fly around begging for funding for electricity, water infrastructure, and even upcoming elections.
We need to stop normalizing these international tours of shame for projects our own revenues could easily fund if corruption were not draining the country dry.
We must End corruption in government and institutions.
No country in history developed through passive endurance. Progress requires unity and holding leadership accountable; our silence serves as consent to neglect and authoritarianism.
Until we redirect our passion from killing each other over internal divisions, cattle, land, or tribalism toward demanding real development, South Sudan will remain trapped in hardship.
Building a nation and demanding better is not about tribes, clans, or elites; it is a collective demand for the good of the whole nation.
@Travelprenuer2 At this point, it's not about education. Even the uneducated, when they want better, they seek more qualified people around them to elevate them. But I'm convinced these kakistocrats deliberately keep the country underdeveloped out of greed and selfishness.
Treating newly arrived public officials like royalty, such as carrying Caretaker Governor Rimbasa Daniel Badagbu on supporters' shoulders in Yambio, fosters the authoritarianism citizens claim to oppose.
Holding leaders accountable requires a cultural shift: citizens must view and treat public officials as employees hired to serve the people, not figureheads put on a pedestal before doing any real work.
@joseph_arike Even if he has everything to offer, we shouldnโt give any leader the opportunity to think he is above anyone or feel like royalty. He isnโt anything but an employee and servant of the public.
