Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Political parties in South Sudan\u2019s Northern Bahr el Ghazal State have raised concerns over lack of resources ahead of this year\u2019s general elections.<\/p>\n

Atong Leek Lual, Secretary for Political Affairs at the National Democratic Movement (NDM), told Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday that lack of funds had slowed down political activities in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot lie to you; we don\u2019t have any resources to support us. We purchased reams of papers and other printing materials through our pockets monies because our chairman Dr. Lam Akol has no resources for the party,\u201d Leek said.<\/p>\n

She claimed that the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) party continues to monopolize access to national resources to the disadvantage of other political parties.<\/p>\n

Atong said peace implementation and wealth transformation requires inclusivity in access to resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a great effect because we cannot move ahead without a budget, we used to wait for our salaries so that we can do something; unlike South Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) party, which controls national resources and denies political parties from the wealth and that is why we have been calling for effective implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement\u2019s wealth and resources transformation so that all shall access the resources,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on condition of anonymity, a source from the South Sudan National Congress Party (SSNCP), said their activities were hampered by restrictions imposed by the SPLM party on the political parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the SPLM party is carrying out its activities under the protection of the government but if other political parties try their best, they told to cease from rallies on the claims that parties\u2019 public rallies are not yet legalized,\u201d said the source.<\/p>\n

The source further intimated that political parties are struggling with financial challenges and that was difficult for them to achieve anything as a result of the ban to engage in political activities.<\/p>\n

Stephen Ayaga, the Secretary-General of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM), defended the party from the accusations insisting that the party collects funds from its millions of registered members across Northern Bahr el Ghazal State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 1,000,436 registered members of SPLM party members in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, collect funds through monthly contributions, others contribute cars and others donate property including land.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ayaga further rubbished claims of ban on other political parties from carrying out their activities in the state. \u201cAll political parties enjoy equal participation as well as freedom of expression,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
