Who decides in South Sudan? Council of Ministers or Jieng Council of Elders?.

By David Aoloch Bion, Kampala, Uganda

April 28, 2015 (SSB)   —-   The eagle-eyers or good seers are making serious alarm now that they have  noticed  crack in ship South Sudan that will sink it as soon as possible if that  leak is not addressed quickly . The leaking crack they saw is Jieng Council of Elders. They claim Jieng Council of Elders is wrongly advising President Kiir ,  therefore ,Jieng Council of Elders (JCE) is dangerous to South Sudan.  JCE is destroying South Sudan.

But questions  are; is this claim true or false? Is advising the same as deciding? .

This is the second time  that the detractors have  labeled the allegation of wrong advising  to President Kiir .Yesterday ,  the good seers were noising   that  they  had noticed  serious leaking crack in ship  South Sudan. The leaking crack was former Presidential advisor on Legal Affairs Telar Ring  Deng . They were babying ,babelling in  more  than 60 languages  ,  ‘’Telar , Telar,  Telar  , Telar Ring Deng  is ill-advising , misinforming and disinforming  President Kiir simply because Telar and Kiir  were seen praying always  at Roman  Catholic  Church in Kator .

Because of the babelling of detractors, President Kiir succumbed to their pressure and he exiled Telar to furthest Russia so that he can go and pray in Russian Orthodox Church alone.

After Telar left , the same detractors  invented another lie and began babying , babelling  ” Jieng Elders , Jieng Elders  , Jieng Council of Elders  is ill-advising President Kiir because some Jieng elders are seen entering and coming out of State House over the weekend . This madness of changing goal post from False A to False B must stop because it will not take you to your dreamland .

What is the correlation between entering and coming out of the state House and the South Sudanese affairs ?.

The public decisions of  South Sudan  government are  made by the Council of Ministers. So the question is , Do Jieng Councils of Elders sit in the council of Ministers hall and take part in the decision ? The answer is No .

Therefore, JCE is just a scapegoat for nothing and  for stereotype .

Yesterday, it was Telar , Today , it is Jieng Council of Elders . what a  nonsense!!!  Think critically, otherwise,. You are in illusion. You are chasing shadow.

Secondly, why are there other councils of elders? There is Nuer Council of Elders. There is Equatoria Council of Elders. Why are  you not questioning these  councils  too?

For your consumption , JCE is just cultural organization that promotes Jieng culture among the Dinka people . It has nothing to do with politics of South Sudan. It is just like American Centre if you know it , which promotes American culture around World. It is like British Council, which promotes  British culture around the World.

So rubbish all critics of JCE. JCE will be there as long as Jieng culture exists . JCE is a wave  and critics of JCE are like  those who want to control waves  in the Nile . The critics are wasting time on JCE.

Long Live JCE

Long Jieng Culture.
