The Chairperson of the technical team that was tasked with the writing of the national anthem has appeared in the South Sudan Supreme Court to answer charges of misappropriation of funds.
Samuel Mido appeared in court Wednesday accused of misuse of funds, operating an office without consulting the team, and failing to organize and attend meetings.
Mido was dragged to court by his deputy, Edison Arkanjiro, who also told court that the accused embezzled 55,000 South Sudanese pounds.
Mido pleaded guilty to the charges.
Court ruled that the accused should return the money to the national anthem composing team and also advised the aggrieved team members to settle the rest of the issues out of court.
