Sept 4, 2019(Juba) — Revealed in documents extended to South Sudan News Now, South Sudan Minister of Finance and Economic Planning released over 100 hundred thousand US Dollar in July to a phony company to clear “a car loan”.
According to the transaction documents extended to South Sudan News Now, Mr. Garang Majak Bol Angok, the 1st Undersecretary of Finance and Mr. Simon Kiman Lado, the Director General of Accounts, signed a cheque worth $135, 000 US Dollar and directed the governor of the South Sudan Central Bank to allow Mr. Bona Alith Arow to cash Cheque number 2427 from the Ministry of Finance Account No. 002 692 1000 1024.
According to Mr. Garang Majak Bol Angok, the 1ST Undersecretary, claims that the sum of $135, 000 was being released per Mr. Jiel Michael Yai , who is supposed to be in charge of a branch called EID Branch within the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning. South Sudan News Now investigator journalists could not establish any employee or South Sudanese national from the Nuer or Dinka tribe with such name.
In his letter Mr. Garang justifies that the purpose of that money was to clear one car loan and it was to be paid to a company called Lou Trading & Investment Ltd which also does not exist.
According to junior officials in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, such money must have ended in the pockets of individuals pointing fingers at Mr. Garang Majak Bol and his friend Simon Kiman Lado.
