JUBA – South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir Mayardit has authorized the payment of at least 2500 United States Dollars to each member of the recently reconstituted transitional national legislature as settlement fees, amid hunger, insecurity and a devastating flood that has displaced hundreds of thousands of the country’s population.
Speaking to Sudans Post this evening, one of the members of the Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA) confirmed the receipt of the presidential offer and said each member of the house was given 1,000,000 South Sudanese Pound which is equivalent to $2500, based on central bank rate.
“We in the Revitalized Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA) have been paid by the executive 1,000,000 which is equivalent to 2500 US Dollars, each, as our settlement fees because we have started work without anything at hand,” the lawmaker said from Juba on condition of anonymity.
Another member of parliament from the Council of States said they have been paid 800,000 South Sudanese Pounds and said the payment of 1,000,000 to members of the R-TNLA was unfair since they are all members of the country’s bicameral parliament.
“Yes I can confirm that we received the payment, but it is less that the money paid to members of the national assembly. We were given only 800,000 which does nothing these days. So it is unfair,” the Member of Council of states said.
Those entire payments amount to $1,625,000, but it is not the first time for President Kiir to make such a huge offer to the lawmakers.
In July 2018, a month before the signing of the revitalized peace agreement, President Kiir authorized the payment of $40,000 to lawmakers to spend on cars and housing as war was then still ongoing.
The government defended the offer with Kiir’s press secretary Ateny Wek Ateny telling the BBC’s NewsDay that “This money has been given to the parliamentarians to buy cars, because they currently use motorbikes,” Ateny said.
This latest offer comes at a critical time for the country. Much of the world’s youngest nation is covered by water, insecurity and hunger, according to the United Nations estimates.
The government has on several occasions yet been appealing to international donors for help to mitigate the hunger and floods.

“Kiir spends $1.6 million on lawmakers again amid hunger, insecurity and floods”
That is what they are after, No one scream for the South Sudanese who been ‘bullied to these filthy so-called UN Protection sites’ and they are scared of their own shadows to get out of them. When you go and tell them. To come out and farm your land, they will scream at Jaang/Jenge and then go and play cards.
And the US, the UK, their UN, their NGOs, Their UNMISS of Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangleshis, Sri Lankans, South Koreans, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, Rwandans criminals who are who never been tested in real battle fields. I don’t know why would a country like Rwanda would want to have an army in the first place? Yeah, In many Bantuses countries, joining arm forces and be deployed as a mercenary is a good these days. So long as they would deployed as the UN NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT OR THE ENFORCERS OF THE SO-CALLED AGENDA 21 OR GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BORDERS?!!!
Here in home state of Jonglei, the so-called UNMISS are ‘cross air’. There are a lot of South Sudanese who have been bullied by the evils they are going WIPED OUT MAP.
The mighty US of America has been challenged, her ally, the United Kingdom had been challenged, French Legions are going to be forced of Central Africa Republic (C.A.R) and Chad, We are not you equals. ww3 is going to start here in South Sudan and there will no white criminals as we know., reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. We are THE MASTERS OF LONG SHOT WARE FARES. White people who can challenge us, are Germans, Russians, Chinese. The US, not in the slightest—–the mafi empire, had caught with her dirty fans down.
They have our country and our people as their chess game or football for ages. But there are some limits. There are problems in Northern of Which the US And her Arab states financiers, finance of Boko Haram, IS in Ghreb, here South Sudan, there is so-called SPLM-IO of Mr. Riek Machar is not a new bloke in CIA Operative circle. The CiA and his secret societies handlers have tried their best to install into power in South Sudan. But they are wasting their damned South Sudanese people’s times.
Probably the US and their allies are living in fantasy world. The worst thing on this planet is some low lives who think they are anything, can bully people who don’t consider then anything. The evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, with their propagandized media, always South Sudan the world new nation and the poorest country, Oh really. The poorest of the poor are in India, and ask me, will to it to you.
There are monsters and evil people on this planet earth, who lives over the backs of other people and their countries. The US and European have for ages, and they thought are it, it is new normal, good luck.
Read this link from a South Sudanese boy, Mr. Simon Yel Yel: https://sudaneseonline.com/board/15/msg/Of-what-Use-Is-The-UN-Security-Council%D8%9F-By-Simon-Yel-Yel%2C-Juba%2C-South-Sudan-1459876892.htm
The US has abused the trust other nation has bestows to her That is understandable, power corrupts and corrupt very badly. It will be long before the US lose it though, the owners wants their power back. The first wing to be cliff off is the US currency, few countries would required to buy US, simply to buy what they want in other countries, secondly, militarily and thirdly racism, any piece who dare allow white American, English or a Juus (so-called israel) attack would killed with them.
We have investigated the US army bases here in Africa, two of them are here in East Africa, that is just a few minutes of work and they will no more. With their the ones in the Embassies, embassies are considered sovereign. But if it let their balls carried them away and come out to play their Hollywood machos, then they will shown their right places.
In west Africa, Southern African, they don’t have army base, but white South criminals are, Bantus can just round them up and settled their scores with the vermins/parasites/viruses. in West Africa, there is always worry their because, those African Bantuses, worship white and Arab and even Vodoos. But a line has to be drawn in the sand, Otherwise, the white man will never ever, leave African alone.
Quite reasonable this time. Indeed, it is our interest and pride to see our lawmakers reasonably facilitated.
