(JUBA) – South Sudanese president Salva Kiir Mayardit says he will no longer tolerate members of his cabinet accusing the government they serve in of corruption, arbitrary arrest and human rights issues.
Those caught doing so will be dealt with accordingly, Kiir said, during a speech at an official function marking the completion and opening of a new building belonging to the ministry of parliamentary affairs on Tuesday.
“We are a new country. This is why the whole world has turned to us and [is] watching closely to see what we are doing. It is not because what is happening in this country is not happening in other countries. It is because we are [a] new nation and people want to know how we are governing ourselves. They want to know how we are managing our wealth, our resources”, Kiir told the audience, which predominantly consisted of members of his cabinet, ministers and senior civil servants
