Dear Hon Dr Bol Mel
Vice President,
Dear cde VP,
I write as a concerned citizen to express my disappointment about how you are running the affairs of our country. Remember that, no dinka has elected you to be the VP. It is a political and material contract between you and the first family who want you to take over if their father resigns or gives up the ghost to protect them and their stolen wealth. The way you started your work is worrisome. It is destructive. You started with Akol, who has defended Kiir all these time when you were busy with your fake roads constructions. You attempted to kill him. Thanks to Gen Santino Deng Wol for saving his life. You didn't stop there. You went on to dismiss and appoint officials who will never challenge your decisions.
You are now the VP, the Minister of Finance, the Chairperson of the NRA and the Governor of the Central Bank.
Where are you going with that money ? Don't you know the people are starving ? It is you and Adut , Kiir’s daughter, who are misleading and impoverishing the people. It was you who started the fight in Nasir, it is you who ordered the arrest of all the boys deemed to have been loyal to Akol Koor. It is you who ordered the arrest of Dr Riek, his Petroleum Minister and his Chief of Staff. From the way you spoke during the funeral of Gen Majur Dak, martyred in Nasir, it showed you ignorance and incompetence. You don't know English. It is your money that elevated you. You bought your way up using the money you gained through charms. Your handpicked CDF and the Minister of Defence were talking the way they did to please. In fact, the CDF could have been dismissed for the failure to rescue the General. They were busy gossiping with you while the General was in the tank.
At the funeral, you spoke as if you were the President, giving orders. Have you ever cocked a gun?
It is you who brought the UPDF to help you ascend to power. Where will you go when the time you agreed with them to protect you is over ?. They cannot fight the IO by land. You ordered the use of chemicals against innocent citizens in Nasir.
We, the Jieng are not happy with you because of the way you have humiliated Akol. Akol is our son. He is not a stranger. Anybody who has mistreated him will one day pay for that. Your leadership will have turbulence. You are not a political leader but a business man . You are bringing unto yourself problems. The way you are humiliating Riek Machar will have serious consequences. The Nuer are bitter. Do not be deceived by the few Nuer with you. They are not influential. Riek is an Opposition Leader with soldiers. Do not listen to that despot, M7. He is a political conman bullying the region to amass wealth. He is destabilising Congo, Somalia, and now South Sudan.
My advice to you is that, do not be misled by money. You will not enjoy that leadership. Slow down. Think before taking decisions. Look at the how you abruptly dismissed Hon Ramadan Goc. What has he done ? If it is to do with the deported Congolese, how innocent is his deputy in this diplomatic blunder?
Do not behave like a King cos you have money. You are the one paying Abushok and Agwellek, now fighting the White Army. Finally, it was you who paid Par to announce the ouster of Riek Machar. Do not cause a fight that you will not be able to stop.
The people of Tonj have no problem with the govt under His Excellency, Salva Kiir Mayardiit. South Sudan is bigger than you and your money.
