South Sudan anti-graft body wants power to prosecute corrupt officials
July 1, 2012 (ABYEI) – South Sudan’s Anti Corruption Commission on Sunday said it is seeking public support to fight against all forms of malpractice, and explaining that it intends to catch all the suspects regardless of their political or social status. No official has ever been prosecuted for corruption in South Sudan since it gained self-rule in 2005. The South Sudan Anti Corruption Commission (SSACC) does not have the power the prosecute, as the power lies with the ministry of justice. To boost the SSACC a judge was appointed to head commission in a bid to strengthen its status. Justice John Getwech Lul, the chairperson of the the country’s anti-corruption commission, told Sudan Tribune on Sunday that they have different methods to catch different officials.
