"Don't muzzle an Ox Treading Grains", It is Biblically an Abuse by Itself

By Manyang Duany Jok,

Bor, Jonglei State, South Sudan, August 18th, 2024: If the truth has to be told, every South Sudanese knows full well that among nonmembers of ruling elites, there is no fair treatment in the areas of service delivery to the benefit of self or for public good, even though playing it wholeheartedly right, that somewhere there is someone who routinely, intentionally tends to "muzzle an ox that treading grains", ( a rat is too small to shoulder it) by depriving many of their hard labor dues, putting survival at mercy of ones' discretion; mistreatments compel unpaid security forces to join armed civilians in the poaching business of bush meat, causing harm to the tourists' attraction creatures and in other hand, leading others among them to make living through charcoal production, creating an indiscriminate deforestation, which serves as an attack on both environment and of the trees of natural fruits to extinct and in other circumstances of the same nature of not dealing with the welfare of the nationals, the nation 's unemployed youths who fall within the range of employment ages hold fast to the series of gang activities at the sequential mode of committing aggravated robberies on valuable materials from the rest of innocent citizens, that includes inflicting injuries against passersby or pedestrians at cities streets instead, with no law enforcers at will to respond to deter them. However, where hunger takes its toll, it doesn't require specialized knowledge to feel, believe and to discern such as a cycled results of failed system to have control over its humans' needs. Respecting articles on punctual payment, is a better tool to tame working humans or others, not to be ill-treated like slaves and to take laws by their own hands; however, to "muzzle oxen treading the grains", it is an abuse by itself on industrious ones and this at anytime poses a fear of imminent threat on humanity by putting lives at perpetual risks of violence crime and that is why it is biblically condemnable to work one without payment. I hope the fattest rat should tell his dad to do better than this for improved and the trusted security to reign in this country. May God continue to bless South Sudan, I pray.

Commemorating July 30th Martyrs' Day, 2024, 19th Anniversary: Your Martyrdom is Not in Vain.

By Manyang Duany Jok, Bor, Jonglei State, South Sudan

July 30th, 2024: By your pursuit of freedom and liberty to die on all's behalf, where the liberated South Sudan is to account to masses of orphans, widows and widowers, often crying for help to survive on your absenteeism, many of whom missing the tastes of flowing "milk, honey and oil" in the country, where the darkness of the night standstill; the dawn of prosperity is far from reach and nothing seems much of dividends to satisfy their needs and to report to your hovering souls and spirits in an invisible air of the universe, but the good news is, the Republic of South Sudan is born to us and is here;

Whereas after you just departed from us, corruption slipped in to produce injustice to sufferings, killing freedom to the dream redeemed through your bloodshed and lives lost meant for them(us) to be forever free, to develop and to enjoy it, yet your sacrifices are not in vain. The Republic of South Sudan is born to us and is here. The National Basket Ball Federation is also here.

By your death through your patriotism, you were dictated not to reap and eat the fruit of your own plantations, but your heroism is not in vain. The Republic of South Sudan is born to us and is here.

By your super-courage and bravery, cannibals, wild animals, vultures, reptiles, fish, ants, worms, flies and many more fed on your unattended, not buried sacrificial bodies, leaving your souls and spirits to linger in a nowhere closer to bury your corpses in your absences and to decorate your graves, yet your death is not in vain. The Republic of South Sudan is born to us and is here.

By your unmatched nationalism and altruism, your bones dried up in skeletons, sank in the bottoms of rivers, valleys and littered in the wilderness, still your departure is not in vain. The Republic of South Sudan is born to us and is here.

The worth of your martyrdom, the rise of your dawn, the fulfillment of your dream, the freedom and the only wreath and accolade of honor to lay on your an imaginative and physically present graves' sites, Dr. John Garang your team didn't die in vain; the Republic of South Sudan is born to us, growing up slowly, but is here. Happy Martyr Day, 2024. May Almighty God continue to rest your souls in His eternity, and bless the Republic of South Sudan, I pray.

John Frog to President: People are starving

Singer John Frog has spoken out amidst economic crisis, saying to the President "Dear president, your people are starving... Though we choose to die in silence, we don’t know if we shall reach 2 more months," a statement which seemingly decries the hyperinflation in the country.

In recent days, the South Sudanese Pound (SSP) depreciated as 100 USD is exchanged for 400,000 SSP in the black market, leading to skyrocketing prices of goods and services.

Jonglei State revenue chief suspended

July 16, 2024 BOR

The Director of the Revenue Authority in Jonglei State, Thai Kher Chagor, has been suspended over allegations of nepotism.

Finance Minister Abraham Riek Yuek announced Chagor’s suspension without divulging details.

Chagor, a controversial figure in the state, was among the officials accused of being appointed due to familial ties rather than merit during the tenure of former Governor Denay Jock Chagor.

His suspension comes amid broader efforts by the current administration to address the governance and accountability concerns.

The suspension of Kher Chagor follows a series of administrative shake-ups within Jonglei State. In August 2022, the state’s Legislative Assembly members passed a vote of no confidence on the Finance Minister Yuek, alleging funds mismanagement linked to instructions from former Governor Jock Chagor. The former Governor’s refusal to dismiss Yuek further fueled tensions within the government.

The Director General of the Ministry of Local Government, Deng Duol Pur, was also suspended. Pur, who described his suspension as “illegal” and conducted without due process, told Radio Tamazuj that there was a lack of transparency surrounding his removal.

“I have been suspended for three months without any proper procedures being followed. No reasons have been given to justify this illegal action,” Pur declared.

The State Local Government Minister, Simon Hoth Duol, confirmed the suspensions but downplayed them as a routine administrative matter.

Critics argue that such suspensions without clear grounds risked undermining public trust in the state government.

The suspensions of Kher Chagor and Pur underscore the challenges facing the Jonglei administration, where allegations of nepotism and improper governance persist.

For now, the fate of Kher Chagor and others suspended remain uncertain, pending potential investigations.

The Government of Jonglei and Upper Nile States convened a joint meeting on the 14th of July 2024 at the State Secretariat of Jonglei in Bor, Co-Chaired by H.E. Mahjoub Biel Turuk, Governor of Jonglei State and H. E. James Odhok Oyay, Governor of Upper Nile state to discuss; cooperation between the two states and the security concerns along the Nile River aggravated by establishment of illegal checkpoints;

The leadership of the two states are deeply concerned about the establishment of illegal checkpoints along the Nile River, while understanding the need for security measures to be taken.

The governments of the two states deliberated on many issues related to random revenue collections and killing of innocent travellers transiting River Nile. The two Governors observed the followings;

The two States acknowledge that these checkpoints unjustly restrict the movement of people and goods; harm the livelihoods of the riverine communities, undermine cooperation and dialogue, and potentially violate human rights.
The two Governors pledge to continue cooperating on borders and security issues.

The meeting was attended by senior government officials from the two States.

BREAKING NEWS! National Legislative Assembly has passed the National Security Service Act 2015 Amendment Bill, 2024 after a long and heated debate on Wednesday. The bill was passed through voting after lawmakers differed over Articles 54 and 55 which provided for arrest without warrant.

In the final vote, 247 members voted in favour of the Bill and 114 were against with three absent. But the August house has 550 members.

It's yet unclear whether the article providing for arrest without a warrant has been scraped or maintained. However, most SPLM-IG MPs wanted it maintained while opposition MPs were opposed to it.

Details to come shortly!
