Tribalists and Corruptists Are Not For SPLM-DC

Wait a moment before you rush to a limited-minded conclusion on the issue of the three former members of the SPLM-DC (Mr. Hassan Chuol, Mr. Malek Cook and Mr. Jiech Chuol) who went back to re-join the bush party that has been known for great tribalism and corruption with impunity since the signing of the CPA.

They accused the SPLM-DC of lack of vision when it was they themselves (as selfish individuals) who failed to read, believe and practice the written vision and objectives of the SPLM-DC as passed democratically in the SPLM-DC National Delegates Conference (visit the official website: http://www.splm-dc.org for the texts of the Vision and Objectives of the SPLM-DC stipulated within the Basic Rules).

According to the other side of the story, these defectors presented a list of secretariat nominees to the Chairman of the SPLM-DC, the ever savvy politician Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin but without passing through the Secretary-General, Eng. Charles Kisanga as required by the SPLM-DC official procedures. Mr. Hassan told the Chairman (conditionally) that he would like those names to be in the Secretariat. Not only this, but also he went very far threatening that unless he is given a position in the Secretariat, he and others from Unity State will defect from the new party. Hitherto, they ended up defecting alone without supporters or the whole state as they threatened the SPLM-DC Chairman.

Shame on them for their individualistic greediness and undemocratic behavior! The SPLM should not even welcome them back because they are not sincere. They will spoil the remaining little reputation of the SPLM if allowed to become members again. They should be told that one day when the SPLM gets back to the right track after reforms or leadership change in its current dysfunctional and contradictory internal structures and hierarchies, the SPLM-DC shall be there working hand in hand as a coalition with the SPLM in the right and good government.

To put facts into their proper pigeonholes, it is important to note that on the 29th October 2009, the SPLM-DC Secretary General Eng. Charles Kisanga presented nominations for the SPLM-DC Secretariat to the SPLM-DC National Executive Committee (NEC) for approval. But since the SPLM-DC strives to be fair to include most areas in representing the regions and the states, it happened that some of the people in Hassan's list did not make it (including Mr. Hassan himself). The ten Secretariats and the designated secretaries appointed by the Chairman after the approval of the NEC are as follows: 1. Secretariat for Finance and Administration - Mr. Deng Bior Deng; 2. Secretariat for Political Affairs - Mr. Deng Vanag; 3. Secretariat for Organization - Dr Mohamed Abdalla Abder; 4. Secretariat for Legal Affairs - Walid Yayha; 5. Secretariat for Women Affairs - Ms Sandra Bona Malwal; 6. Secretariat for Social Affairs and Services - Mr. Mubaraka Idris Koni; 7. Secretariat for Organized Labour and Professionals - Mr. Tarig Mahdi; 8. Secretariat for Cultural Affairs - Dr. Funda Z. Dominic; 9. Secretariat for Economic Affairs - Mr. Luke Bidong/ and 10. Secretariat for Youth and Students - Mr. Akot Maley Ayuol.

The following assistants of the Secretary-General for the 8 Sectors of the Sudan were appointed too: 1. Upper Nile - Mr. Chuol Limi; 2. Bahr El Ghazal - Mr. Jekuei Marek Ayuon; 3. Equatoria - Mr. Elias Gaaniko; 4. Darfur - Mr. Juma Harouni; 5. Kordofan - Mr. Younis Abdalla Issa; 6. Central - Mr. Mohamed El Amin El Zamzami; 7. Northern - Mr. Mohamed Mahathir; 8. Eastern - Mr. Sabir Abdalla Karim.

After the announcement, immediately Mr Chuol and the two above-mentioned others (who did not get what they wanted as individuals) went on air to voice their disappointment and draw public attention to their selfishness. They were told point blank that the SPLM-DC is not interested in tribalism and corruption that they want to impose on the Chairman. A Good bitter truth to them!!!

Nonetheless, since the SPLM-DC is for better change in Sudanese party politics, whoever tries to resist this change is free to pack and go where he can practice the evils and madness of tribalism and corruption with impunity. The SPLM-DC will never accommodate such members. Forward Ever But Backward Never! Long Live SPLM-DC to its objectives and right aspirations as stipulated in the Basic Rules.

  Without bush party no CPA neither self-autonomy nor referendum therefore, Dr Okuk be mindful of your expression because it doesn’t make sense to call SPLM/SPLA bush party for them is what they are proud of.

  Because when people of South Sudan went to bush it was the only option for them to fight for their rights in order to liberate themselves from all the injustices they have gone through under the hands of Arab regime in Khartoum.

  So don’t be deluded into thinking that we are out from the war with Islamic regime in Khartoum any time thing can fall out and bush party, you called may lead the war again to fight for the rights of our people.

  So let’s respect this party called SPLM because it is associated with historical foundation of our struggle and that is why, even those of you who defected like your party still maintaining the name of SPLM (SPLM-DC) but adds only some words to modify or to justify their arguments for why they exited from SPLM party.

  Any way you have all ...

  It is ridiculous allegation that SPLM-DC has no clear vision. It is a proof to those defectors that they do not know their choice or they have intentionally joined SPLM-DC to cause confusion.
  But you, treasonous defectors are not fooling anyone rather than yourselves.
  How is it possible for someone to take part in a political party before reading its policies and visions?
  Have you joined SPLM-DC before reading its vision? If yes, then it was your fault to decide to be a participant before understanding.
  If you have joined the SPLM-DC because if its clear and democratic provisions, then how can you contridict yourselves by saying it has no clear vision?

  Look, to my personal understanding, you have taken the words from the chairman of SPLM-DC Dr. Lam Akol and you therefore couldn't use them correctly because they are not yours.
  Dr. Lam was a devoted member to SPLM/A. But he said SPLM/GOSS have violated the CPA. That means there is nothing wrong with vision rather than people who shou...

  Thank you brother Francis Chol for reading my article and reacting to it. However, if you are saying that the SPLM members are proud to be associated with the bush then why should they react negatively when I call them "bush party"? You should have urged me, instead, to keep calling them "bush party" because of the struggle history they have made from the bush. Unless you are saying the SPLM is not proud of the bush, then I will be eager to heed to your call.

  Be straight forward and courageously say exactly what interpretation you have in your mind of the word "bush party". My be that was what I did not mean. But if it happened that your interpretation is what I mean, I may not hesitate to aplogogize for the wrong use of the expression. So teach me teacher I am ready to learn!
