Embattled Nilepet cashier ‘won’t be removed’ despite corruption allegations     

JUBA – Nile Petroleum Corporation (Nilepet) cashier Ring Charles who is accused of squandering Nilepet staff’s allowances for the last few months has allegedly threatened to take actions against staff members leaking out information to the media and said he won’t be removed despite the accusations.

“These are all nonsense from the media, but for your information, the Managing Director will not attempt to remove me from the position,” Mr. Ring reportedly said, according to reliable sources within the government petroleum corporation.

“If you think, I will be removed then forget, we are the senior officers of this country. No one can temper with our appointments,” Ring is said to have told one of the staffers who he accuse of leaking information to the media.

Last week, the corporation’s staff members threatened to go on strike due to the cashier’s malpractices and corruption levels. Several appalling reports show that Mr. Ring could squander about $20,000 from the staff salaries on monthly basis.

Other multiple sources said, the embattled Nilepet cashier siphons $10,000 every month from the corporation in the pretext that it is meant for house rent of the MD. Besides the staff salary deductions and MD’s rent diversion, the latest investigations disclosed that the embattled senior cashier has pocketed money set for staff dressing allowances.

Nilepet allocates allowances for staff clothing every year but it is now emerging that the money does not reach the staff but instead get executed in the hands of the embattled cashier and his close associates in the corporation.

The damning report has also implicated Mr. Majok Noon, the Finance Chief but his details are still sketchy. But when asked to comment on that, Mr. Ring Charles bragged that the allegations against will not show him the exit.

“The Managing Director is aware of the dressing allowances. All these allegations are without any basis,” Ring said, adding that “I don’t care.”

As a result of these adverse allegations, multiple sources at Nilepet have revealed staff will be putting down their tools starting this week in protest of what they term as far-reaching abuses by their senior cashier.

It is also worth noting that the Senior Cashier, Ring Charles manipulated section heads of Human Resource Manager, Mr. Akuei Deng to be hiring people that he wants and if Akuei refuses to do so, he always threatens him.

Akuei has employed so many people through directives of senior cashier. The Managing Director comes from the same region with the Human Resource section.
