Embezzling of money in South Sudan versus Investing outside : Which is evilest issue?
By David Aoloch Bion
Billions of US Dollars have been embezzled by 75 + public servants in South Sudan from 2005 to 2011 in dubious Government projects and it is continuing now millions Dollars are being stolen from public fund . This is one issue.
These billions of embezzled Dollars are not banked in South Sudan. These billions of stolen Dollars are not spent in South Sudan either . This is another issue.
Therefore, between the embezzlement of money inside South Sudan and investment of the money outside South Sudan, which is an evilest issue? Which is first class treason? Which is highest degree corruption?
Investment of money outside South Sudan is the first class treason, which is the evilest issue. All the money embezzled in South Sudan is invested outside . The money is kept in foreign banks. In those banks, it is multiplying and it is paying interest to those banks, it is developing the economy of those country.
This money is invested in education abroad , because the children of the ministers, directors of the government are studying abroad in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, UK, USA and so forth. They are paying school fees in primary, secondary and university level, this money is developing the education infrastructure and economy of those countries.
The embezzled money is spent on the rent and buying of houses in Kenya, Uganda, UK, USA, Australia and so forth. The money they buy the house or renting the house is developing infrastructure and economy of those countries.
South Sudan is foreign- based country , foreign – based economy . Kenyans come and take money from South Sudan to Kenya. No Kenyan takes money from Kenya and brings to South Sudan. So do the Ugandans, Ethiopians, Americans, Asians, Europeans. All come and take away money. South Sudanese too, they take money away.
How will South Sudan economy grow now? How will wealth accumulate in South Sudan when it is repatriated by both foreigners and nationals? . How will education develop when we take money for developing education outside? How will infrastructure develop when we take money for developing infrastructure for buying houses outside and rent houses outside ?. How will financial sector grow when we take our money and bank it outside?
My fellow South Sudanese lets love our nation, let’s develop our nation. You take your child to study in good school abroad, that school was built by 500, 000 dollars, which you have .Why can’t build it in South Sudan .
You take your money and bank it abroad, why can’t you bank it in South Sudan, so its develop the economy of your country and create jobs for your poor brothers and sisters, who are jobless. Why do you go and create jobs for foreigners? if you are rich and your country is poor, no foreigner will respect you. If you are rich and economy of your country is strong, then they will respect you. A Rich Nigerian can’t talk with rich South Sudanese because Nigeria is strong economy , South Sudan is weak economy ., A Nigerian will tell a South Sudanese, ‘’ You South Sudanese, you are not rich but you are just a beneficiary of the defunct system ‘’
Build good schools so foreigners bring their children in to those schools .Build good houses so foreigners come and rent them . Build good restaurant so foreigners come and eat there .. Build banks so foreigners bring money and deposit it there .
