Dr. Lam being out of the government of national unity did not take any one by surprise, even among the grass roots whom he served and protected during the war in the Collo land. Seven air strips for landing of the aero planes to bring food and medicine to the needy will always be remembered by the marginalized.
His work as the minister of transport and the infrastructure build by him in Malakal will also stand to testify for the people in that part of south Sudan. His ability to contain the riots and the lack of loss of human lives in Wau during the black Monday is counted to his side. His contribution as the minister of foreign affairs during the difficult times underwent by the Sudan shines like a candle in the dark.
Collo people are the most conscious politically, otherwise the kingdom would have not survived the political and cultural upheavals since 1545 AD.
For the new self styled heroes who want to assassinate the character of this powerful man shall be smashed by the people will when the time comes for mass judgment at elections.
The SPLM leadership in the person of the chairman of the party had unfortunately under estimated the aspiration of the Collo people as well as the capabilities of one of his resourceful high officials who could further land a hand to his Excellency the chairman of the party in shaping the chaotic situation the party had been landed into by the S/G who is also our son, but an incapable one who excels in talking than working. The SPLM is in dire need of re-organization, registration and proper fair elections at the grassroots. Especially in the south where very very little had been done till now.
Mr. chairman of SPLM it is your right by constitution to remove or reinstate a
member of the party in where ever you see fit. But you are also duty bound to
respect the feelings and the will of your subjects. For example the dismissal of
those Mr.Tilar,Mr.Aleu,Mr.Manoa Aligo and firing of Mr.Timothy Tot for speaking is mind in IPB. Remember the chairman is elected to the throne by proxy i.e. Through his popular members in their communities. Thus to associate your self with the least popular persons in their constituencies is a political suicide. Pagan is unpopular, Deng Alor comes from south Kordufan as well as Luka Biong and Yasir Arman and Monsur Khalid they will bring you no votes because they are northerners.You should have already been told that Dr.Lam was accompanied to the airport by so many people in Malakal after having heard his removal from the government and also received by so many people at the air port in Khartoum. The Collo people were not organized to do so, but it came automatically to send a clear message to:
1.Dr. Lam that the people still stand by you even if you are out of the government.
2.Pagan Amum that if he thinks by so doing he will take over the political leadership in the area, is a fallacy. He had already loss credibility by attempting to rig the party elections in May 2007 and appointing unpopular state secretaries of the party after having failed the elections in their respective counties and act which involved physical show down between the public and the S/G appointees.
3.The chairman of SPLM that people are not bitter for using your powers, but unhappy with improper use of these powers without real convincing reasons against senior members of your party on which the southern masses are counting for democratic transformation that was lacking all those dark years of war and had thought sun democracy had risen by the coming of SPLM.
4.Last but not least, we affirm our support for the SPLM and its chairman Salva Kir Mayardit as a uniting leader of the south and demand of him as his subjects who have the right and tool of keeping him in the chair to listen to the plight of the people of the south in maintaining unity of the party and to consider the re-union of SPLM-family by accepting the appeal of our brothers Aleu and Tilar and revitalize the democratic tools and institutions to rectify and dispute in the party.and God bless you.
SPLM/A Oyieee eeeeeeeeeeeeee.
