This comes after the Kenyan opposition leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who lost elections to Deputy President William Ruto said he will be heading to court on Monday to challenge election outcome which he disputed and described as a “joke”.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Michael said while the Kenyan opposition leader is heading to court, President Salva Kiir Mayardit lied that the reason behind the extension of the transitional period for another two years is to prevent election disputes.
“Tomorrow, Raila Odinga is heading to the Supreme Court to challenge the outcomes of the Kenya Presidential election,” Michael wrote.
“Whereas in South Sudan, President Kiir lied to us that the fundamental reason for not conducting elections and extending the Transitional Period is that losers of an election will take to the nearest available bush as an election outcome resolution mechanism or seeking for electoral justice and eventually paving ways for a signed Peace Agreement,” he added.
He said South Sudanese need to get rid of Chief Justice Madut because he has got nothing to do other than swearing-in ceremonies for officials appointed by the president and has become a very big liability for the justice system in South Sudan.
“Moving forward, we must first fire that J1 Chief Justice whose only job is to conduct swearing- in ceremonies at J1. He’s a big liability to our judicial independence and the much-needed judicial reforms,” the outspoken activist said.
“Our people MUST vote-in to power their leaders not the current self-imposed misleaders or conmen, the mere fact that our people will be voting for their leaders is a clear manifestation that they’ll hold them accountable. Failure to deliver on their manifesto or promises, in the next election they’ll be voted out,” he added.
This could be the reason to why the court case of a seven years old Abuk Lual who was raped and murdered by an Arab trader (Darfurian) in Aweil delays in Juba. Today i wrote this article about this case. see below;
Aweil high court sentenced a murdered of Abuk Lual to death by hanging on 30 May 2022.
Murdered had to appeal within 15 days, they didn’t turn up for it until 12 Jun 2022
On 13 Jun 2022
He was transferred to Wau main prison for further hanging procedures as required by law..
Wau will then send the court papers to Chief Justice Chan Reech Madut in Juba for final approval
Until now…
There is no further updates on procedures.
Are court papers send to Juba yet from Wau ??
If not why?? If sent – why Juba is delaying?? And who will play a follow up role in this case?
I therefore appeal to members of ”the LEGAL TEAM” that depended the deceased during the court…
Together with AWEIL YOUTH LEADERSHIP to take on the follow up role and ensure, the court procedures are correctly and strictly followed in a timely manner.
LET’S ALL WAKE UP FOR THIS….
poor & wanderer Darfurians couldn’t do such in the land of Aweil, and we let it go…
Justice could have prevails in a shorter time then it takes !
