WEEKLY ADVICE FOR MR. PRESIDENT

November 19, 2011

WEELKLY ADVICE FOR MR. PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN:

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF CORRUTION?

Corruption, as defined by the UN and endorsed by the EU, is the "abuse of power for private gain". The South Sudan Government has established instruments to tackle corruption; these should focuses on the protection of the Southern Sudanese Community's financial interests.

It is now time for the government of South Sudan to address corruption broadly and in particular in national government with relations with.10.States

High-level corruption by government officials robs people of South Sudan billions of dollars each year. This money should be spent on providing a better standard of life for nations of South Sudan’ impoverished citizens. Those who steal state money often come to Europe, North America, Canada, and Australia to buy spends it and enjoys a luxurious lifestyle. This must stop. More than a mere economic crime, high-level corruption undermines the ability of certain states to provide basic services to their people, including the right to food, housing, health and education.

As the ALI BABA NEWS PAPER is continuing to be concerned and fully engage to fallow up and work for the welfare of south Sudan and to bring attention to the people of South Sudan and make sure that Mr. President is well advised to take the right approach and right decisions for this wonderful country. Also Ali Baba News paper will work very hard to expose those who misused the public funds. In addition Ali Baba News Paper voluntarily to provide and offer the simple and important advice to H.E Mr. President Salva Kiir Mayradit to be alert and careful about the people who want to fail the state of South Sudan. More over The ALI BABA NEWS PAPER is ready to continue advising Mr. President with NO cost and reveal those who are abusing the system and misusing the government funds for their own personal benefit or interest.

WHO ARE THE Corrupt?

From small clerks to the high profile politicians, commissioners, police inspectors, traffic police, stock exchange, bankers, military establishments, recruiters, sportsmen, judiciary and most of the government employees, corruption is seen and felt in every transaction from bottom of the chain till the top.

· The low salaries of people made them susceptible, bringing with it more inefficiencies and the easy way of making money with less or no accountability. The crime of corruption is easily forgotten, the law offers easy way back into the mainstream and acceptance by the society. In addition to that it is the lure of luxury, personal status enhancement and the false sense of elitism that makes the corrupt vulnerable to illegal and unethical means of acquiring wealth.

The cultural connection and other reasons.

South Sudanese society still has a cultural setup of having the \"man of the house\" to work for a living, while the wife usually deals with the household work, and this puts a pressure on the man to make the living more luxurious. The routine jobs are usually for life-long, with the support of a union there is a lesser fear of losing the job and there is the pressure of dealing with rising prices of commodities and sponsoring future education of children. The society, the social upbringing, the culture and a general greed also plays a critical role in influencing a timid mind. The lack of instincts and to avoid the time consuming bureaucratically setup of the organization, the corruption may be an easy way out for people who bribe to make things happen.

How can we stop corruption?

Greater solutions may include population control to improve the quality than the quantity; controlling population will bring up the quality of life and lesser competition and effective control of people and government processes. However, feasible solutions are to impart moral principles in schools, and introduction of stringent audits, accountability, effective tracking of corrupt individuals through citizen cards id’s.

Computerization of processes, privatization of public sectors, eliminating the chain of corruption by not just punishing the low level but also higher levels involved.

Corruption is not limited to atheists, even the most corrupts are highly religious and have close family ties, in other words corruption has no boundaries. Religion and religious congregations can support and promote anti-corruption drives.

Corruption is NOT a luxury tax. Whoever described corruption is a luxury tax probably said it out of frustration; the religion of corruption, the corruption of politics, the dishonest souls and perversion of integrity is unpardonable.

WHY DO BACKGROUND CHECKS IS IMPORTANT FOR EMPLOYMENT?

A Pre-Employment Background Check has become a matter of necessity. Too many applicants make false claims on their job applications and resumes or have been involved in prior criminal activity. About 40% of the background checks processed by A Matter of Fact turn up at least one serious discrepancy.

An Employer\'s Imperative
Employers have a moral and legal obligation to provide a safe work environment. Therefore, knowing whether a potential employee has been involved in criminal activity (such as drug or other substance abuse, reckless behaviour, dishonesty, theft, or dangerous and violent behaviours) allows the employer to determine if an applicant is appropriate for the job and work environment. It also helps the employer determine if the applicant poses a potential threat to other employees or customers.

How Do Background Checks Help?
Prior history is a good predictor of future performance. Background checks are used by employers to identify applicants prone to unacceptable workplace behaviour. Background check tools such as Criminal Record Checks, Prior Employment Verifications, Education Verification, License Verifications, and other research tools can reveal potential problem areas.

Background check tools such as Criminal Record Checks, Prior Employment Verifications, Education Verification, License Verifications, and other research tools can reveal potential problem areas and provide documentation that an employer has taken "reasonable care" in the hiring process. Thorough background check documentation is an important element in reducing negligent hiring liability.

The Bottom Line For Success:

The bottom line is that pre-employment background checks help an organization be more successful. That means greater profits to for-profit organizations and greater impact for non profits. Thorough background checks help employers:

· Reduce the high cost of turnover by screening in employees who stay longer.

· Reduce losses from employee theft, employee fraud, drug and alcohol abuse, absenteeism, workplace violence, and litigation.

· Avoid wasted benefits.

· Reduce training and employee development costs.

· Increase productivity through hiring employees with better work habits, attitudes, policies, and practices.

· Enhance professionalism by "screening in" appropriate workplace attitudes.

· Decrease insurance costs. Some insurance companies will give background check or drug-screening discounts to firms who take such precautions.

Putting it All Together:

· The expense of implementing an employment background screening program is a wise investment to mitigate the risks associated with turnover, employee theft and fraud,

· Employee misconduct and resultant liability.

· Improved productivity, safer working environments, reduced absenteeism, lower turnover, and lower insurance premiums and decreased employer liability.

This is the weekly simple advice to Mr. President for today. ALI BABA NEWS PAPER will bring more advisory merits next week to Mr. President Salva Kiir Mayadit

Do not ignore these advice they sound simple but they can damage and destroy the nations. I will urge the Ali Baba news Paper supporters to encourage the government officials to read the important advises to Mr. President Salva Kiir Mayradit.

THANK YOU ALL FOR READING THIS SIMPLE ADVICE I HOPE THIS ADVICE WILL REACH TO THE OFFICE OF MR. PRESIDENT.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS OUR NATION SOUTH SUDAN
