Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A former Presidential Advisor on SPLA Affairs Salva Mathok Gengdit claims that clusters governed by vice presidents are sources of corruption.<\/p>\n

In a letter addressed to President Salva Kiir Mayardit, dated June 6, 2022, Mathok warned that the system created in R-ARCSS would throw the country and people into abyss if no remedial actions are taken.<\/p>\n

He is currently a Member of Parliament in the Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA),<\/p>\n

\u201cThe R-ARCSS has created a lot of system structures that will put this nation with her people perish and land will remain empty but it\u2019s unacceptable,\u201d Mathok said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system of clusters created corruption where there will be no accountability at the end of the day since it\u2019s at the Presidency level. Forming the so-called clusters chaired by each vice president is creating chaos in the economy of this country,\u201d Mathok stated.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker claimed that the clusters had seized duties of council of ministers, with workers hooked up in meetings, leaving out their duties unperformed.<\/p>\n

He called for cancellation of clusters so that vice presidents stick to advisory and supervisory role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recommend the cancellation of clusters and Vice Presidents remain on the advisory roles only, if not then, rotation can be done in clusters if my views are not satisfactory,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

Peace agreement<\/b><\/p>\n

According to R-ARCSS, the president would remain in his position and the commander-in-chief of national army, and would chair the council of ministers, the National Security Council and assent to the bills passed by Transitional National Legislative Assembly to become laws.<\/p>\n

The document indicates that the position of the First Vice President would not exist after the unification of forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Vice President At the end of the Transitional Period, the position of First Vice President will cease to exist, unless the Permanent Constitution requires it to remain,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will command the SPLM\u2013IO forces until overall unification of the forces, and act as overall Commander\u2013in\u2013Chief in the event of any temporary absence of the President.\u201d<\/p>\n

It elaborated that the four vice presidents would not exist after the transitional period, adding that the meeting within the presidency would be collaborative, and done through consultations.<\/p>\n

This means that the clusters would not exist after the graduation of unified forces, and subsequently the end of the transitional period.<\/p>\n
