Riek Machar, not Benydit Kiir, is the Problem in South Sudan

Dear South Sudanese, Bεnydit Kiir is not a problem but his surrounding is the problem
It has come to my concern that Mr. President is not our country’s problems but his ministers, undersecretaries, directors, up to their clerks who failed to executed their assigned duties are the problems.
To begin with, since 2005 when Bεnydit Kiir formed his government H.E. former vice president Riek Machar was appointed VP. with roles of overseeing government activities that included daily running of government business, overseeing which ministry is not performing well, overseeing government projects with international bodies but he failed to execute his roles.
what he did was campaigning illegally against his boss then concentrating on government projects, creating weakness against his boss by failing to execute all government projects and he then started campaigning against his boss by accusing him of tribalism, corruptions, nepotism, dictatorship and so much more.
my question is, what is corruption? In this case, the term “corruption” means the abuse of a public office for personal gain or other illegal or immoral benefit. Political corruption is a recognized criminal offense, along with bribery, extortion, and embezzlement. Some forms may escape legal notice, such as the hiring of relatives for key positions, but they may not escape the scrutiny of voters on election day.
with that definition is H.E. former VP far way from word corruptions when he was Vice President. let not put blamed on one shoulder…all must carry the same cross.
Tribalism is the state of being organized in, or advocating for, a tribe or tribes. In terms of conformity, tribalism may also refer in popular cultural terms to a way of thinking or behaving in which people are more loyal to their tribe than to their friends, their country, or any other social group
Dr. Riek during tribal clashes between ‘Murles’ and Nuer when white army invaded Murles’ land, he personally visited them, communicated to them until they went back to Nuerland, against during December crisis the same white army joint him and devastated Bor land killing old, blinds, and women in the church and many others bad things. so my question is, why is Dr. Riek rebellion made off one tribe? to me our former VP is a leader of tribe.
To rest my point, not only our former VP who failed our President and our country even they 12 detainees or politicians who denounce they current government claiming that this government have lost her legitimacy are also failure.
starting from our former secretary general for the party, he was assigned with all party’s work so if SPLM failed as party then he partly carried a blames not mentioning former ministers who also failed to execute their ministerial duties and they keeping blaming President…
Our president’s problem is that he take long time to action, he is so good to wrong guys who had bad heart about our country and our diversity.
How can one hand do the whole work alone? it was joint effort for us to developed our country but everything was push to president.
“our diversity is our strength..if we divides shall fall”
