Michael ‘Replaceable’ Makuei Lueth
The beauty of the financial settlement on the SPLM-Vivacell dispute is that, it tells you, the leaders, that you are not as untouchable as you think.
A cocktail of arrogance, chest-thumping, and foolishness has been misleading your government for years.
This is probably because you do not understand well how sovereignty works. There are international laws that govern governments on earth. And your government is a dot in terms power. The SPLM regime is nothing.
Just because you’re in charge of a piece of land occupied by 64 tribes of about 12 million people does not give you the right to fcuk with everyone.
If you had paid attention to happenings such as the Terrain Hotel rape spree, in which the government was later forced to produce suspects and expedite the case, you would not be in this situation today.
The other lesson that you missed was the handpicking of the EALA lawmakers by the president – a move that a ‘child’ lawyer Santino Wani foiled. The likes of Ann Itto and Kim Gai were subsequently elected by TNLA members.
And another serious matter that you have been ignoring is the Christopher Allan’s killing. If I were you, I would reconsider my position on the issue. Mince your words whenever you talk about the late American journalist.
In reality, greed kicked out Vivacell. As SPLM leaders, you chose to ‘exempt’ the mobile service provider on paper but milked it under the table.
Pagan Amum, the then party secretary-general, was in charge of the cow, which you gave pen on the SPLM land.
But when Pagan fell out with the party leadership, attempts to get documents from him to rechannel the taxes into a different account turned impossible, marking the beginning of the 1 billion-dollar trouble.
You can’t fool us about the New Sudan license nonsense. After gaining independence, everyone and everything turned into a South Sudanese.
President Salva Kiir automatically became the president. You introduced new legal tender. I, Tzo, dumped the green passport for the blue one.
Literally, everything was adjusted to fit into the new country’s needs and requirements, but Vivacell. Why?
Your analogy of the new Sudan license is a story that can only be told to children, not adults, for it would make sense if SPLM party was still paying registration fees to Khartoum today.
Anyway, you are not powerful after all. You will be forced to pay. So many attempts will be made to render justice if you do not comply with the Swiss court’s verdict. Any of the following scenarios is likely to happen:
One, oil proceeds will be channeled into the accounts of Vivacell. That’s possible because the oil business is done at the international market.
Two, if that’s impossible, the world will close down oil production and the foreign companies asked to leave the country.
Three, economic sanctions will graduate to the worst phase. Uganda and Kenya will be forced to stop exporting basic commodities, including oil and sugar, to South Sudan.
You will be forced to drink ‘arege’ only, for no more importation of Glenfiddich, Jack Daniel’s, Johnnie Walker, Chivas, and Jameson.
Four, no single plane will be allowed to use South Sudanese airspace. Just imagine the consequences.
For example, when you get ill, the Juba Teaching Hospital will always be the address, where a never-paid, hungry, and angry nurse armed with cow syringe awaits you.
Five, your posh homes in the region and overseas registered to wives, babies and unborn children, will be identified and auctioned off. For your information, we know all the SPLM leaders’ homes in Nairobi and Kampala.
Six, all foreign investors will exit the South Sudanese markets. Think about banks, suppliers, …
And finally, South Sudanese, whom you have pauperized over the years will actualize the Jean-Jacques Rousseau prophecy:
“When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.”
And as Mobutu Sese Sekos of South Sudan, you will run, but to nowhere, because there shall be no planes parked waiting for you at the Juba International Airport.
