PRESS STATEMENT ON THE ALLEGATIONS MADE BY DR. CHOL DENG ABEL THON AND HIS GROUP
Date: 20th June, 2021
Dear public
The management of South Sudan Anti-Corruption Forum would like to make clarification on the false statement issued by Dr. Chol Deng against us alleging that our page was hacked under the directive of the current Managing Director Eng. Bol Ring. The statement dated 17th June, 2021 falsely added that Dr. Chol Deng has no link with South Sudan Anti-Corruption Forum further alleging that Dr. Chol Deng and Eng. Bol Ring Mourwel were in good terms.
We would like to tell the public that:
1) the concocted justifications by Dr. Chol Deng were attempts to clear himself after we seriously warned him for availing false information meant to tarnish the image of the Managing Director of NILEPET to South Sudan Anti-Corruption Forum. We clearly told him that it's against our objectives and ethics because what we see being done by the current Managing Director is positive (e.g. refinery, construction of roads, buying and installation of oil rigs for drilling, ending of special contracts, etc) but Chol has been presenting to us contrary things.
2) He (Dr. Chol) fabricated that our page was hacked which is not true. Nobody has hacked our account. What we know is that he is trying to hack our page after we rejected publishing his fabrications. He has hired an IT team in Nairobi to hack South Sudan Anti-Corruption Forum page. Chol is now using a page called "New South Sudan Press" to misinform and mislead the public after we have rejected his propaganda.
3) the current MD has no authority to direct us since he (Eng. Bol Ring) is not a member of South Sudan Anti-Corruption Forum nor our boss.
4) Dr. Chol Deng Abel Thon is a well-known liar who does not like anybody making achievements other than him. He is known for jealousy, hatred, nepotism, corruption and mismanagement. Chol wants to be flattered even if he is doing a wrong thing, a mistake South Sudan Anti-Corruption Forum cannot make.
5) Chol has to resolve his differences with his successor (Eng. Bol) or he fights him outside this page because we don't fight for individual interests but public's instead.
6) We are warning him (Chol) once again to stop his allegations against us (SSACF) immediately. Failure to desist will lead to exposing him how he looted NILEPET and the people of South Sudan. We will tell the public his looted assets (e.g. million of US Dollars and houses he bought when he was the MD).
7) We have substantial evidence regarding the above points and we shall publish them should the need arise.
Last but not least, we are repeatedly warning Dr. Chol Deng to seize all the propaganda against South Sudan Anti-Corruption Forum.
Yours truly
