Author : | Published: Friday, October 21, 2016

First vice President Taban Deng Gai has urged undersecretaries in the government of national unity to come up with development plans for the country.

Taban says a lot much money has been wasted without developing the country since 2005.

He says the waste of money is because people are thinking negatively.

Taban says majority of government budget goes into salaries and assistance, but without any development projects.

“You could see from 2005 up to day we have used a lot of money because we are thinking from hand to mouth, we just go to undersecretary of finance, he gives us money for salaries and assistance,” Mr Taban says.

“Now look since 2005 how much money we have wasted, do we have roads? Do we have universities? Do we have electricity? All these money have just gone,” he says.

“And we are relaxed like there is no problem. Actually we should be disturbed.”

The Cluster meeting was also meant to discuss the plans of the ministries towards implementing the peace agreement.
