Bad manner comes from cultural illiteracy.

I wish you a good husband, Monyjieng sooner or later.

I am afraid, you might end up a wore if you fail to hide this tribal mindset.

Closing hospitals in the Republic of South Sudan because someone uttered against supporting hospitals with foreign donation is never an achievement by the ruling Party and you should not be happy with sad reality.

The government delivered services to the people, referring your personal situation before the nation ain't justification and must remained poor justification man.

You was a cornerstone that builders realised you were indeed the house of peace between Gaatjaak Nuer and Koma Community throughout the struggle until the time of your departure to the Lord.

You grew up in Liberation, fought tough wars but God protected you until you have seen the fruit of the struggle.
You are a leader of Koma, Greater Maiwut, Upper Nile and South Sudan at large.

We need you at this critical time when greater Koma Communities is mourning the unprecedented demise of leaders in Udier and Dajo. Unfortunately, you might have taken it personal in silent but the great God of the land will restore hope in Koma land.

You are gone on our sights but not on our minds and memories. Your strong legacy shall prevails over unforseen temptations

Rest in eternity, Hon. Baruach Uluch Akoloton, aka Dhuornyang.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Serious Allegations Emerge Against Hon. Oyet Nathaniel Pierino

Allegations surrounding the conduct of Hon. Oyet Nathaniel Pierino have sparked serious ethical, political, and moral concerns that are drawing public attention.

According to reports from concerned citizens, funds were allegedly solicited from members of the public under claims that they were meant to facilitate travel to an event organized by Turning Point Action, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization. Sources further allege that the trip was presented as being linked to an official invitation from the Government of the United States — a claim that sources close to U.S. institutions reportedly describe as untrue, warning that such misrepresentation carries serious consequences.

Observers say that if these claims are substantiated, the act of misleading citizens and soliciting funds under false pretenses would represent a grave betrayal of public trust and an abuse of political influence for personal benefit. At a time when many citizens face significant economic hardship, any form of exploitation by those in leadership positions would deepen public frustration and erode confidence in governance.

Additional allegations indicate that Hon. Oyet initially applied for a U.S. visa using a South Sudanese passport and was denied. It is now claimed that he has sought to reapply using a Ugandan passport. If verified, such actions could raise serious questions regarding integrity, legality, and national representation.

Public leaders are expected to embody transparency, honesty, and accountability. These unfolding allegations, if proven true, risk not only damaging individual credibility but also undermining the reputation of South Sudanese leadership on both national and international stages.

More details are expected as the situation develops.
