Minister's take on the utilization of internal resources:
Nyak Simon Lieth: Juba, South Sudan




The minister for Animals and fisheries in the government of South Sudan, Hon. Martha Nyalok Tiong Gatluak analyzed the initiative for work progress in her ministry in 2010 up to 2011.

"My ministry had sacrificed working extraordinarily

to make use of our internal resources
in South Sudan," she said. "We are doing a lot of strategies programmed for the animals and fisheries
preservation. We are fighting natural poverty."




The minister advanced that the government has valued
minerals in order for South Sudanese to invest in them moreover, benefiting from these privileges

The aim of the ministry is to empower South Sudan communities with good services. She expressed this ministerial vision, while speaking on third May, last week to, “The Citizen” newspaper-Journalist in her office in Gudele Estate approximately three kilometers away from Juba main ministries.


“Our veterinaries were eventually working well treating the animals and fisheries in River Nile for better utility by South Sudan citizens,” she explained.


She spoke out animals served South Sudanese during poverty plight in two decades civil war. These people are said to have been depending on agriculture. These referred to are the indigenous communities residing both in rural and urban centers who should get use of resources even in the urban centers.


No pasteurized and powdered milk, or caned fish is got produced in South Sudan.


Business people among which are, the South Sudanese import pasteurized and powdered milk as well as caned fish among other commodities since the birth of Comprehensive Peace Agreement, “C.P.A,” signed in Naivasha, Kenya in 2005.


“Now we are no longer encouraging people to continue importing goods from other countries. We should not buy from countries such as Kenya, Uganda, Republic of Congo, “D.R.C” etcetera.” She said.


She argued some more, the government of South Sudan should precisely mobilize its citizens to focus on their gifts, example being fisheries along the Nile.


“Our resources are the most significant if we know how to use them rather than wasting importing resources from neighboring countries,” she cried out.


Her ministry shall soon establish a conducive marketing environment for butchers in the entire South Sudan.






“These days, cattle shall not be slaughtered any how; whereas
fisheries shouldn't be manipulated randomly.” she stressed. “We will associate all the
activities and sustain an attractive atmosphere to the foreigners.”




The ministry at the moment has no completed implementation of scheduled
strategies and planning due to lack of money. Although the ministry
had experienced some impressive challenges, within mean time
everything will be perfect after declaration of independence.


She said, they are requesting monopolizing of international non
governmental Organizations operating in South Sudan, to enhance setting up of factories
for liaising team to work as empowerment of the ministry.


Martha called upon all the citizens to unite with common harmony
so that the government of South Sudan will be able to tackle obstacles; and achieve self determination.


She condemned criticism and political ideologies applied by the
civilians against the government. “There is a need for your coming
together, and deserve the dignity and interests of the new nation,” she concluded.


Her target is to let South Sudanese eschew tribal clashes since they had plebiscite overwhelmingly during referendum to accomplish the broken vision during devastation propaganda.
