Congratulations to SPLM G-10

By President Salva Kiir Mayardit

I congratulate the SPLM G-10 for articulating their interest and charting the way forward on how the political crisis in our beloved country would be peacefully settled in their document known as the Power Sharing Agreement . It is a reconciliatory and goodwill position

Ladies and Gentlemen , in the spirit of true reconciliation , people should speak out sincerely and openly their mind  about what pain them the most  , I did not have any animosity or ill-feeling of any kind  with the group which later became , known as the  SPLM G-10 , I detained them not because they attempted  the coup , it is Dr Riek Machar , Taban Deng and Alfred Lado who attempted the failed coup on December 15 , 2013 but I detained them because of the following reasons

• Calling for the war upon the country

These 10 men called and evoked the war upon the country on December 6 , 2013 , How can you pray for war to befall your country ,  if you are patriotic and peace- loving citizen ? This was the first class treason

• The blame Game

These 10 men were playing blame politics  before  the  war , everywhere they go in 10 states of  South Sudan , they spread  lies when  electorate ( people who elected them in 2010)  asked them   ‘’ why is there no development in our constituency ? ‘’, these 10 men would reply ‘’ there is no road , no school, no hospital  in your constituency  because Salva Kiir  has become a lion over money in Juba and he roared to people if you ask him money for development .  Were they justified in this claim? How was  4 billion dollars  released  from  the central bank  ended up in the pocket of 75 men if I were actually lion in front of money as they  put it ?. I had been approving the money for development to the band of robbers in the name of ministers

• Insult ,

These 10 men have been tarnishing my image  by their insults , wherever they go whenever they go  , they insult  me , Salva Kiir is ‘’ tribalist , corrupted , failed dictator , we shall chase him like a dog, a cow which does produce  milk he  should be slaughtered , we shall turn Warrap ,which  means a sea of sorghum into sea of faeces  or latrine,  he recruited 15 , 000 tribal militias  and so forth ’’ . These insults are lies , Anyway, I will not talk much; let me leave it there for the sake of peace.

• Own goal issue , In football if your team lose because , one of your  team members  scored the own goal  , it is you the whole team which is beaten , it is not the player who score the own goal,  therefore , the SPLM party scored the own goal because it failed to deliver services to people since 2005 not me alone

Once more , I congratulate SPLM G-10  for recognizing me as the elected,  legitimate President. I will work on your recommendations,  I will change the mode of voting to secret ballot not the showing of hands . I will amend the 5% of  appointments of  delegates clause in the party constitution. I will reinstate the unconstitutionally fired members of SPLM into their positions and so forth.

Peace upon South Sudan

God bless South Sudan .
