    South Sudan not only belong to an entity party, the freedom is the based of free, fair and transparency. People of South Sudan are blaming us in ruling SPLM secretariat leadership on backing security agents of rampage, harassing others parties, These claims are unacceptable, if its true. But I would to urge my chairman, Cde.Salva Kiir Mayardit to send his message to security personnel that you are not belong to any an entity party , you are protection units only for all people of South Sudan.
