Dear Cde Edward Lino,
As I read your public statements lately, may I remind you; it was Sunday 15th Dec 2013 during the NLC meeting, just hours before the Juba shoot-out and all the subsequent tragedy befalling our Nation. I was in that same room alongside over 100 NLC delegates and your good self. Toward the end of the 2-days said NLC meeting, Hon. Cde Bashir Bandi read out a 2-page Summary findings report on investigations of former & suspended SPLM SG, Pagan Amum.
The findings were SHOCKING; embezzlement & unbelievable level of corruption and mismanaging the SPLM by the former SG. The SPLM Chairperson, Cde Salva Kiir asked (democratically so) what to be done with the findings. ALL NLC members present (about 128) all STOOD UP as a sign of their unanimous support for: 1. Immediate suspension and expulsion of former SG Pagan Amum. 2. That legal action be taken accordingly.
ONLY ONE DELEGATE REFUSED TO SUPPORT THIS DECISION: IT WAS you CDE EDWARD LINO. You vehemently and solely (ALONE) insisted that Pagan Amum be forgiven (despite allegation of theft of over $200 million dollars)…
Yup; I have much regard to you Cde Edward Lino, but your stand since then has puzzled and baffled me!!!
Suzanne Jambo,
SPLM’s SECRETARY FOR EXTERNAL RELATIONS
