Press Release
SPLM Chapters in
USA Support the decision taken by SPLM Chairman to Remove Aleu Ayieny and Telar Deng from SPLM membership.
We the undersigned Leaders of all SPLM Chapters in The United States of American
do affirm and stand unified and in full support of H.E Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit First Vice President of The Republic of Sudan, President of The Government of Southern Sudan, Commander in Chief of SPLA and Chairman of SPLM in removing Mr. Telar Deng, former State Minister at the Presidency and newly appointed Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice and Mr. Aleu Ayieny Aleu former State Minister for the Interior from SPLM Membership permanently.
We strongly appeal to all committed SPLM Members all over the World to voice their support to H.E Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, Chairman of SPLM Party in taking the right and courageous decision of discipline which holds SPLM Members to the highest standards of accountability irrespective of their hierarchy within The SPLM Party. Any SPLM member in any part of the World must be accountable to his or her actions in the context of a well organized political Party of which SPLM is becoming. It is critical to hold every SPLM Member accountable to high ethical standards, code of Conduct and complete adherence to rules and regulations of the SPLM Party.
We, in the SPLM, are engaged in Nation-building which is not an easy task therefore, we must equip ourselves with the necessary political, social and economic capital to meet the challenges of the twenty first century. In a democracy, a government is legitimate via the voices of the people and also a government governs by the consent of the governed. We must build an informed and an educated society to be able to make informed decisions. There must be consequences for any unacceptable behavior within our Party.
In conclusion, we SPLM Leaders in The United States do strongly support H.E Salva Kiir Mayardit, Chairman of SPLM Party to proceed with confidence, leadership to take firm decisions in dealing with any issue that tends to disrupt, confuse, undermine and destroy our people’s Unity within SPLM and also deal with active SPLM individuals who are still issuing statements or engaged in unacceptable behaviors that undermine SPLM Party’s viability. Gone are the days of corrupt politics where by Government officials operate, maneuver as well as issue statements without accountability to their actions. In a democracy nobody should be above the law, equally we are saying no one is above SPLM to whom all SPLM Members are accountable. The bar of accountability has been established therefore let us prevent any deviation.
