Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A fiery exchange erupted in South Sudan\u2019s parliament on Tuesday as lawmakers debated a reported multi-billion-dollar loan agreement with a UAE company.<\/p>\n

Oyet Nathaniel Peiriano, the first deputy speaker and deputy chair of the main opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), pressed cabinet affairs minister, Martin Elia Lomuro, for clarification on the alleged deal.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a UN Panel of Experts report claimed a company linked to the UAE ruling family agreed to lend South Sudan $12.9 billion in exchange for oil.<\/p>\n

The deal, allegedly reached on the sidelines of the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, would see South Sudan repay the loan with oil priced below market value over twenty years.<\/p>\n

Oyet demanded transparency, arguing parliamentary approval is necessary for such loans to ensure accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not against the government bailing itself out,\u201d Peiriano said. \u201cBut we need the right procedures. If you want to contract loans, come to the parliament to approve it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lomuro dismissed the reports as \u201csocial media allegations\u201d and warned that discussing them could lead to legal repercussions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a house of the people,\u201d Lomuro stated. \u201cYou cannot bring information on social media and reveal it here. Social media information is unverifiable, illegal, and can cost somebody a court case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oyet countered by citing former finance minister Bak Barnaba\u2019s public statements about the deal.<\/p>\n

Lomuro then denied any cabinet knowledge of the loan agreement, suggesting it may have been an individual action by the former minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cA loan is processed through a cabinet,\u201d Lomuro said. \u201cI have no memo; I have no resolution talking about a loan. If the former minister talked about a loan, that is individual basis. Otherwise, there is no loan, there is no resolution, and there is no memo about the loan.\u201d<\/p>\n
