President Kiir should address economic hardship in his forthcoming speech to the nation on Thursday

By Akech Mam Deng, Juba, South Sudan

November 11, 2015 (SSB)  —  It has come to the interest of the citizens of South Sudan that the message passed to the Sudan tribune today by the President Spokesperson Ateny Wek that Mr. President Salva Kiir Mayardit will address the nation on 12/11/2015.

Therefore somebody like me would passed this question to the President, should you fail to touch anything on the economics of South Sudan, therefore I Will consider you that as self-in-interested president.

The reason to why I said that is, you eat the meal which is bought at the price you have never asks one time how much does it cost. Your basis needs are free of cost you never paid a single pound on it (at the expenses of poor).

So you though the citizens of South Sudan lived the majestic live like you. So Mr. President I can say, no we aren’t. We suffered the impacts of the war since from day 1 up to day 2. Imagine how long is it from today?

Mr. President, we have been patient enough that we did not go on street to demonstrate for your removable but we have power remove you from power. Our suffering has gone beyond descriptions from the start of the war up to today but you never had our cries of innocent citizens.

What kind of president are you that does not care husband people? Are you president on your own? You are president because of us. Last time you failed to address the economics of South Sudan which impacted greatly on us. Therefore this time, we will angle our ears very well to your speeches.

 Questions to consider: Is it the SPLA/M party torturing us? Secondly, what if we choose other party alongside SPLM for example SPLM-IO SPLM-DC etc, will our living conditions improve? So those re questions we asked ourselves this of total suffering.

So to end my writing, in order to consider as a patriotic President, improve on the followings

1. Fuel crisis
2. Basic needs prices
3. Issue of scarcity of dollar
4. Salary of civil servants and etc
5. Unemployment
