A bad smell is wafting out of the oil wells of South Sudan PaanLuel Wël 11 years ago Salva Kiir, president of South Sudan, is not a very decisive man. Back in June 2012, President Kiir ‘discovered’ (that’s the word used by his office) that 75 senior government officials had stolen more than US $ 4 billion from State coffers. This was an astonishing 40% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. Considering South Sudan had, by then, been in existence for barely a year, the revelation was not only astonishing. How those officials could steal so much, in such a short time, when the country was essentially the poorest on earth was mind-boggling.
