It has been brought to our attention that the content of the video has been misrepresented and misconstrued,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press statement signed by Executive Director Andrew Monyluk Riak, the defense ministry alleged that the video was recorded without the consent of one of the Bangladeshi delegates present during the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ministry emphasized that the recording and subsequent dissemination of this video were unauthorized and did not reflect the official stance or intentions of the ministry or its officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, the fabric samples being reviewed were not for personal attire but for the purpose of enhancing the quality of military uniforms for the SSPDF. It is imperative to clarify that the minister\u2019s engagement in this matter is part of his commitment to ensuring the best possible equipment and attire for our armed forces,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defense ministry stressed that Brigadier Kamal\u2019s involvement stems from his previous service with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and his subsequent return to South Sudan as a businessman specializing in fabric production for the SSPDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHis expertise and experience are valuable assets in this endeavor,\u201d the defense ministry added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It argued that the accusations regarding the minister\u2019s alleged neglect of army salary issues are unfounded, saying delay of salaries was not under the responsibility of the defense minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe delay in salary disbursement is a complex administrative matter that does not fall under the direct responsibility of the defense minister. It is important to note that the minister has actively advocated for the improvement of army wages within the parliamentary network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ministry of defense views attacks on the minister as an attack on the institution as a whole. Consequently, administrative measures are being taken to address the misinformation propagated by Molana Majok Majak through appropriate channels,\u201d it concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finance and Planning Minister Awow Daniel Chuang said the government would not be able to pay the salaries and the arrears because of limited sources of non-oil revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minister Awow disclosed that the National Revenue Authority (NRA) has limited capacity to collect enough revenues to pay the salaries of the civil servants who have already gone many months without salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we are collecting is around 25 or 30 billion; for you to accumulate this, you need at least three or four months to get a one-month salary. If you make NRA function in other states, collection will be double to cover salaries,\u201d Awow asserted while addressing the parliamentary session on Wednesday, 22 May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Sudan&#8217;s army (South Sudan People&#8217;s Defense Forces) in the truck heading to the border with DRC as part of the regional force to counter the insurgents in the neighboring DR Congo as part of the regional effort to quell the conflict in Eastern DR Congo. |Courtesy photo| By Vincent Samuel, South Sudan\u2019s ministry of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 -
