By Richard Ruati

Briefing the regional government at the State Secretariat Main Hall, Kumba said that, "the estimated budget was SDG85 millions; but was reduced to 66 million SDG." The allocated money will be used to build presidential villa, stadium, guest houses, and access to roads, water, and completing the establishment of the electricity power, and renovation of the administrative offices respectively, she further said.

Kumba added that the President of Southern Sudan Government, Salva Kiir Mayadrit approved the budget. She pointed out that, "It is up to the Government of Southern Sudan, the Minister of Finance to release the funds on a timely manner."

She said the Technical Committees are seriously following up approved money and works will start immediately after its reception.

CPA celebration is organized annually in a rotation plan all over the ten states, since its inception the first one had been marked in Nairobi, second one in Juba (Central Equatoria State), Wau West Bahr El Ghazal State), Malakal (Upper Nile State), and the fifth is expected to take place in Yambio.

Kumba also revealed that, three states have been chosen in Southern Sudan to build a village monument of the vision of the SPLM founder Dr John Garang De Mabior, who said, "Take towns to the villages". Western Equatoria State has been earmarked among the three states to build the village.

The Governor requested her cabinet to focus now by identifying the villages.

South Sudan approves SDG66 mln for peace celebration in Western Equatoria 10 July 2009 03:16, by Mr Famous Big_Logic_Boy

Good to say but hard to implement , In fact I suspect from the 19 million missing from 85 to 66. Tomorrow it will be 5 million and next tomorrow nothings and all the 66 or 6 SDG into the pockets of junglese buying flat houses in USA,UK and AUS. This mad community of Slave Kiir are now using our names for their richness, they are using us like a container for keeping with food but the actual container gets nothing. My question is if the entire houses of junglese in their villages are the same to roads in Greater Equatoria, how can they waste this 66 million to build with WES? The dinkas/junglese have no clue of development only food and money is what they know. They will talk of this million today but tomorrow they will not implement to the hands of Equatorians. It is our money from our own resource of Equatorians, but now been consumed by aliens.

Why don’t you go and sell your fake oil or whatsoever to get with some SDG for yourselves, am sick that the junglese are getting rich with our own money on our backs. We need to see that this million has to be implemented to a right person and the reason for implementing has to be done. If building with toilet or whatever it has to be build. I know your tricks later on, this million will be given to one of your junglese and you will still accuse my people for no reason but you are the consumers. My Advice goes to Mrs governor of WES, this million is a big target to your ribs think back to what had happened to a former governor the he was removed from power. because the family of Slave Kiir (dinkas) has many tricks to get rid of wise Equatorians in power. Another question is who are the professional builders to build the stadium in WES, its from East Africa or Asians. There are hungry hyana behind this money but yet people are not aware of them. Please don’t waste this SDG on fake building that last for a years and next years drop comes through the roof. Anyway we are hoping to see the result on the ground.

Logic is the chairman and founder of Equatorian Resistant Movement (ERM) after achieving its objectives and goals it will reverse to Sudanese Revolution Movement for Democratic (SRMD) next week Logic will take a tour to confirm this SDG and see the foundations in WES

Mr. Logic, I think you just love to turn on people to be crazy about you. If that is what you do and does not have any equivacal malicious intentions for the people of Southern Sudan, then go a head. However, if you mean whatever you post on this website, then you are a piece of junk in a junkyard. You would be worthy nothing but a penny, if you were to be a market merchandize. If you continue in this way, then only your mother will love you and if you don’t change soon, then know that you will have nowhere to work in south sudan but your mom’s poor little hat. To be a public person, you must speak, write, and behave maturely. Just a little homework. Next time you write could you please define the word ’logic’?

Mr. Logic, you are nothing to spoiled the name of Great Equartorians who helped u fought the war. Your goals to achieved is to stop drinking. People like you should not have come out from the womb. In your comment somewhere, you said your mom married to a Dinka man and that why you hated Dinka so much, well your mom was fucked by one Dinka man. Go and find him and stop harassing Dinkas. Your goal is to liberate your party or rebels (ERM) from alcohol.

WOW 66 Million for celebrations!!!! is the SPLM crazy there is massive food shortages in the south, severely injured people because of tribal fighting, that money could’ve fed those people or built a modern health infrastructure.

The SPLM are a joke and so are the people who support it.

This is a good news for us to remind ourselves for what we had achieve so far since CPA and what we need to be done and achieve in coming months of referendum approaching us ahead. It is the start of a new financial year too in many ways institutions. This is a time of new beginners in Southern Sudan ministers to show their hard work in ministry development and the country. The ideas of building villages is wonderful thing to do but we need for protect those building otherwise they madness people destroy them and take what ever left.

We are still firmly in the difficulties of transforming lives of people who being killed daily all the time and is sad thing see many of our people are experiencing trauma/torture living of changes in the way they had never experience before.

Because of these changes, this new development will be a little longer plan than usual but stick with our nations dream until the end of 2011. In 2008 I did have excellent opportunity to attend the CPA celebration in Wau Town which our two leaders gave wonderful speed Mr. Kiir and Ali Osmon second vice president of Sudan. It was very amazing celebration seeing many people come across Southern Sudan.

  Dear Nunu,
  
  Are the development projects mentioned the prioritized by your community of WES?
  
  In addition to the proposed developments for the celebration of CPA, and since this amount of money is of great deal,attention needs to be given to:
  
  Economic infrastructure,Agriculture development,irrigation,
  
  Environmental protection,and green infrastructure,
  
  Social infrastructures,schools,health centers,prisons and the like.
  
  If i were kiir, i would make SPLM more attractive to people by prioritizing their needs.
  
  Dongjol.
  P.S.

    Dear Reader,
    
    Hi, It is always awkward for us to be vocal whenever there is xpenditure to incur yet we feel lazy when we hear of accountability. it is always good to celebrate but it must come from health, full stomach and peaceful minds to have positive relflect on the previous sorrow. Wasting millions of money on selfish ceremonies is just a sign of idle minds trying to recuperate from its stupidity yet that mind would assume that it is learning thinking ethics.
    
    Let that money be used to pay SPLA soldiers in defend of the citizens under LRA frequent attacks. We celebrated in Malakal last year yet we lost people instead of reflecting on the meaning of a successfully milestone.
    
    We should learn to prioritise so that we escape extravagance, otherwise we are heading a ceremonies nation which is only active in celebrating events without knowing the well-being of its citizens.
    
    Atok Dan.

This is not CPA celebration or else it should have started in Bor which is the town that brought the CPA. The SPLA rebellion was lauched in Bor and this fact makes Bor a historic town. All I know about this huge sum is that it is intended to induce the Azande community to remain with the people of South Sudan for the cause of their nation. Everybody knows that the numbers of this community were useless during the war because they did not join hands with the people to fight our enemy. We have even heard that a son of their own is the Secretary General of the SPLM-DC.This son is very influential as far as matters in this community are concerned and he may use his position in the new party to render the people of Western Equatoria sluggish again bearing in mind that our 2011 will have to do with numbers. Do this Mr. President but do not forget others. Look, Bor is a small community but it made a very great difference during the war. Do not allow this Lam Akol to cause you to panic. We are with you and the SPLM.

There’s a proverbs in our community that says ’’SOMEONE WHO WENT FOR FISHING IS BETTER THAN THE ONE WHO HAVE GONE FOR THE PARTY’’ which means ’’THAT ONE WHO HAVE GONE FOR PARTY WILL COMEBACK LATER WITH NOTHING TO ATTRACT DRINKING OF WATER WHILE A FISHERMAN WILL END UP DRINKING HUGE WATER’’.So why the governor is not using these amount to develop the state through security & infrastructural developments.....SHAME ON LOW THINKING PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THE G.O.S.S!!!!!!
