{Fearing for his life, Dr. Lam Akol, the chairperson of the main official opposition party in South Sudan, the SPLM-DC, has been residing in Nairobi since July 9th when South Sudan declared her independence from the North.}
The SPLM-DC executive in the U.S.A. would like to congratulate President Salva Kiir Mayardit and the SPLM-DC Chairman Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin for the initiative they took to reconcile their political differences and resolve for the unity and common good of South Sudanese people. For us, the coming of the two leaders together means unity, development, prosperity, reform, fighting corruption, security, good governance, transparency and accountability.
President Slava Kiir Mayardit got huge credit for open up for multiparty system in the Republic of South Sudan, this affirms his commitment to unity of our people. His decision is a good lesson we should all learn from and apply in respective settings we are serving our country.
For South Sudanese at home and in the Diaspora, the joy and happiness to cherish home coming of their leader is shining. It’s also seen as historic moment for unity among leaders of the new independent county. As South Sudanese prepare to receive Dr. Lam Akol in Juba on Sunday, we would like to call upon responsible and concerned citizens of South Sudan to Oyee democratic Change as sign of hope, equality, co-exist and prosperity for all.
We would like to rebuke those who see Dr. Lam’s coming as threat to eliminating corruption, bring checks and balance in the system of the governance that, Dr. Lam is a leader for all South Sudanese not only the Party the democratic Change. Any step Dr. Lam Makes will bring about a change in your life, thus, he is on your side. It is health and natural in deep roots of democracy that formidable opposition is essential for checks and balance in the system of Governance. So, let us see presence of Dr. Lam as positive step towards democratic process so that citizens of South Sudan will have a choice to choose what they need and want out of the political environment of South Sudan.
Those of you who would like to get your salaries on time, education for your children, health clinics and facilities, transportation, Agriculture production made in (South Sudan), fair representation, etc; it is time for you to come forward to meet the leader of the democratic change. Dr. Lam can not do that alone he and President Salva Kiir Mayardit with collaborative approach will meet the expectation and aspiration of the South Sudanese people.
As the world watch Dr. Akol’s home coming, we would like to encourage all the citizen to stay away from the politics of personal distraction and tribalism but embrace of difference and similarities and forge way forward and put South Sudan first and not our personal interest.
We have come long way we would not afford to live any body behind but together through democratic process, we will all reach our destiny.
