The road to the democratic change
4 min readBy Hearty Ritti
Fellow country man, ladies and gentlemen; the road to the democratic change begins now. Your role is very important as responsible citizen of the new nation to see change as an element that speeds up development of all kinds. For change you and we believe in to happen in South Sudan, we must get from our comfortable zones, embrace our differences and similarities and take risks of enforcing good governance, rule of law, equality, fairness, and overall core concept of our diversity co-existence as fundamental daily devotion.
We have come long way all along although with some difficulties, our struggle and history remains as one people of South Sudan. With just four month old nation at hand, let every body’s focus be development through democratic transformation that open up window of opportunity for every citizen’s voices in their own ways, states, counties and communities.
South Sudan can not afford another vacuum of development; with the limited economic resources at hand, our nation needs your help to turn table around by making effective and efficient contribution towards its success. As President Salva Kiir and Dr. Lam Akol demonstrated by working side by side, the urgency for basic provision of goods and services to south Sudan is a priority.
The proposal put forward for provisions of goods and services to citizens of South Sudan should be made practical; theory has lived and gone; so that together we can all feel and enjoy benefit of independence and freedom we have all fought for. Do not let any one out there misled you that it can not be done! South Sudan citizens are deep rooted in ethics of mutual respect, honesty, hardworking, valuing our diversity and solidarity when threatened.
The promotion of free market to spur job creation and prevent dependency on government and get our economy growing should be the ideals we should all cultivate.
President Salva Kirr and Dr. Lam did an exceptional job explaining how their reconciliation would turn South Sudan around from politics to development.
Their coming together will end dependency on food commodities exported from outside South Sudan hindering prosperity of our farmers to produce surplus for market. Once we have made farmers voice heard, we hope South Sudanese will take this opportunity to make campaign to advance agricultural production dreams.
Regardless of our political differences SPLM as the ruling party and SPLM-DC as the minority party are permitted by law to provide resources and direct financial support to positively improve lives of our citizen. The two parties are charged and committed to listening to every voice in details and respond as expected. At the end of the day, it is the people to evaluate the gap in empty and fulfilled promised made and by who? Accountability and transparency may sound good when applied on others, but in actual fact it is the only paths that will move the country forward.
Stay away from those who are showing radical ideas and policies that corruption will not be eradicated, loses of millions of which led to South Sudan downgrade government will not be tolerated, it was cronyism by few individuals that ruined south Sudan economy.
President Kiir’s leadership together with minority leader Dr. Lam policy development needs immediate support to Stop economic diving and our nation going farther off the road. Our continues support to the leadership can ensure success not only at the top but middle and grass root.
So please do your part to help the democratic change vision build the ground work across the country, especially those who have been waiting patiently and committed to implementing common sense policies to get our economy and country turn around from the politics of personal destruction to the politics of development.
All the Best
