The First Inspiring Speech by South Sudan’s Embassy Official in Kenya
3 min readBy Gai Deng Biar, Nairobi, Kenya.
May 25, 2015 (SSB) —- No South Sudan citizen in Kenya could believe that one day there will come a messianic embassy official whom they will cheer and claps their hands in an emotional way due to un represented grievances and suffering they undergone at the hands of kenyan Authorities, especially the police which always characterized the movement of South Sudanese people in Kenya with torture, killings, raping and other violations of Human rights since the country opened its mission in Kenya a decade ago
But during the prayers on Sunday, 24th May, 2015, at the St. Luke parish of the South Sudanese’s congregation at Nairobi suburb of Ngumo, there appear a non crony man during church announcements and in his jovial mood and caring tone, he the 1st Lt , pastor Andrews who is the South Sudan’s Immigration officer to Kenya appealed to his mentally disturbed people to be cautious with issues to do with visa requirements and any other legal documents. He however urged his people to spread his gospel of hope to those who did not make it to attend church services,.
Andrews who was posted to Kenya three months ago is both the man of God and man of government and it is a rare case in South Sudan for a non crony, a son of a farmer to get employed at the foreign missions as many South Sudanese people know the vacancies at the foreign missions are meant for the cronies and rewards to loyalists of the former guerrilla fighters whom some of them are now working day and night to bring down the government of Gen Salva Kiir. some true believers and theologians links the employment of Andrew to foreign mission as God gift while political analysts argue that some of the big fish who used to take all luxurious positions turned rebels and now there is equitable in an employment.
Ululations and clapping were heard at distance when Andrews was addressing people on matters of Immigration in Kenya. He urged people to be vigilant when being abused by law enforcement agencies in Kenya and this could be done by a person battling with police to secretly register the police number which they wear while on duty and forward it to his office, however, many casted doubts about the implementation phases as many lost their lives in unclear circumstances and culprits have never been brought to book, for example, a son of South Sudan custom officer was killed on 8th, july 2012 in Nakuru Kenya a day to first South Sudan independent day and the victim’s justice has never been served and many other cases.
Many citizens are aware that, there is variation in giving speech and implantation but I am therefore urging those who judge the book according to its cover to open the book and read what is inside. We would also be mindful to our own safety to allows our promising officer to serve us better. We might be victim of circumstances in case contract of Andrews come to an end in Kenya and being recalled back to Juba and in case the cronies replace him.
