When countries face tough timesโ€”whether political, economic, or socialโ€”the key to overcoming them is using the talent of their smartest citizens. These individuals are asked to suggest solutions, which are then carefully applied and monitored.

John Akech stresses that teamwork, discipline, and proper follow-up are essential. Without these, crises are harder to solve.

He added that nations that focus on ideas and action recover faster and build stronger futures. Sunday messages remind people to stay hopeful and work together for progress.

South Sudan and Kenya Eye Electricity from Ethiopiaโ€™s GERD

South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit has announced that his country is preparing to sign a power agreement with Ethiopia to import electricity from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

Speaking during the inauguration of the dam in Ethiopiaโ€™s Benishangul-Gumuz region, Kiir praised the project as a milestone of unity and determination. He said the deal will light up towns, villages, schools, and hospitals in South Sudan, creating wider opportunities for the people.

Kenyaโ€™s President William Samoei Ruto also welcomed the project, calling it a bold affirmation of Africaโ€™s ability to marshal its own resources and shape its destiny. He said Kenya is ready to sign a power purchase agreement with Ethiopia to offtake surplus electricity for industries, ICT hubs, manufacturing, and agro-processing.

President Ruto further urged Nile Basin countries to embrace dialogue, compromise, and equitable use of shared waters, noting that the dam should be seen as a shared source of prosperity and progress.

The inauguration was attended by several African leaders, including President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia, Salva Kiir of South Sudan, Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados, Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini of Eswatini, and African Union Commission Chair Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.

A Message of Honor and Encouragement to Cde. Abuk Makuach Mangok, Chairlady, SPLM Womenโ€™s League

Your Comradeship,

In the spirit of the late Dr. John Garang de Mabior โ€” whose vision still stirs the soil of our land and whose words echo in every struggling heart โ€” we rise to salute you, the mother among mothers, the leader among daughters of South Sudan.

He once said, โ€œWomen are the marginalized of the marginalized.โ€
Yet still, you lead.
Still, you build.
Still, you believe.

In a country often wounded, it is women like you who become both the bandage and the balm. You are not only caregivers in the home โ€” you are nation-builders in the battlefield of ideas, in the quiet rooms of peace talks, in the classrooms, courtrooms, farms, and hospitals. You are the ones who sing lullabies of hope to a wounded nation and still rise at dawn to fight for her dignity.

Mama Abuk, through your leadership, we are reminded that the SPLM was not just a movement of guns and battles โ€” it was, and must always be, a movement of hearts, of justice, of transformation. And who better to guard its soul than the mothers who birthed it, nursed it, and stood behind it in silence and sacrifice?

We call upon the SPLM mother party to rise again โ€”
But not just to rise,
โ€”to rise with integrity,
โ€”to stand with clarity,
โ€”and to sound unique again, through the voices of the women you lead.

From your wing, may the SPLM Womenโ€™s League not only march behind history, but move ahead of it โ€” forging new paths, rekindling the revolutionary spirit, and nurturing the dream of a peaceful, just, and prosperous South Sudan.

May your hands remain steady, your voice remain bold, and your heart remain unshaken. The nation is watching. The daughters of tomorrow are listening. And the mothers of yesterday are proud.

With deepest respect,
Sultan Yokyieen Akot
CEO, Rail Media

A leaked letter circulating online reveals what critics call one of the clearest cases of nepotism in South Sudanโ€™s oil sector. SPLM 3rd Deputy Chairman Simon Kun Puoch allegedly ordered Ayuel Ngor Kacgor to employ his son, Motor Simon Kun Puoch, along with two others, in the D-POC oil company.

Observers say the incident reflects a growing culture where government power is used for personal gain, with jobs handed out to family, sweethearts, and close allies, while qualified citizens are left unemployed.

The revelation is fueling public anger over what many are calling a โ€œGovernment of Family & Friends,โ€ where loyalty to the ruling elite outweighs merit, and public resources are treated as private property.

More than 24 hours after the allegations emerged, neither the SPLM National Secretariat nor the office of Third Deputy Chairman Simon Kun Puoch has issued any statement on the matter.

Public reaction remains divided. Critics argue the recommendations reflects entrenched nepotism, with some remarking that โ€œit is now Simon Kunโ€™s turn to eat,โ€ while others contend that Simonโ€™s son, if qualified, has the right to work in any government agency.

The controversy has reignited debate over how South Sudan should ensure fair and transparent employment opportunities for both those with powerful family connections and those without any ties to government???

Attached is the letter from Simon Kun Puoch โ€” the document at the center of the scandal.
