I have quoted Apaak youth Association (AYA) Juba branch asking the state leadership to produce initial model (Map of the area reflecting the general outlook of the proposed settlement scheme that will give investors an opportunity to build their investment.
The strategies used to grab land are often dependent on the type of land in question. Several of these processes include abuses of official power at one level or another (ranging from the highest offices to local-level administration), wherein legal avenues for land allocation are manipulated by either “tailoring” or completely disregarding regulations and guidelines to meet the desired (often illegal or irregular) ends.
Through these means, significant tracts of public and trust land have been allocated to elites and members of politically influential families, entities, and/or ethnic groups. Often this land is then fraudulently sold on to third parties, who may either be complicit in the illegal/irregular transaction or wholly unaware of the irregularities.
The controversial land surveys in Aluakluak Payam of Yirol West county of lakes state does not reflects the views of people of Aluakluak Payam, because it is an unconstitutional and one decisions for the political advancement in the state and beyond the country South Sudan at large.
South Sudan has been known on issues of requiring lands illegal/irregular acquisitions of land by South Sudanese elites to ascertain the types of land affected, the processes used to acquire land in the country since independence of South Sudan from North Sudan.
The history of making land Grabbing Millions by cartels in South Sudan which focused on the illegal and irregular allocations should be done according to the constitutions that will favours the communities or inhibants of the area than land mafias in the country leading survey under influences of few elites in the community and top seats in the country should not get advantage of grabbing communities lands across the country and in particular Aluakluak Payam
South Sudanese land issues questions are culturally ethnically, culturally and economically survey and charged and become the most lucrative business in the country that creates the problems and the government of the day. urgent as pressure on land increases in the country as most populations migrated to urban centres, the recent tensions over Payam headquarters survey has slams the face of the communities living in strategic town.
This is particularly true for poor and economic minorities groups in our communities of Apaak who have not participated in the on-going leagues of corruptions in South Sudan since independence from North Sudan they will be the victims when coming to buying land in most strategic town of Aluakluak of Payam.
The tensions are exacerbated across the country over land issues as large public land and the enormous wealth accumulated by elites in the country since independence from North Sudan.
Aluakluak land allocations involve process that range from the questionable to the blatantly since announcing controversial land survey in Aluakluak Payam of Yirol West County of lakes state. The decisions abuse the nature of the work and the manipulation of legal process to obtain or allocate public land for personal gain or ensure political patronage in the state and Payam at large
