“Favoritism of certain ethnic groups must be avoided. We must fight this cancer-(corruption) that has affected us,” Kiir said after swearing the two heads at the Presidential Palace on Monday in Juba. He promised to dismiss them if they failed to perform within six months of their term in office from the swearing in day. “Any loophole that may not make us do our work successfully then may be closed,” the president said. “We will first test these people in the next 6 months period and if we find that you are not doing well then there is no need to entertain anyone,” he remarked. Kiir called on the Chief Justice to tackle all cases that are pending to date since the historic period of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, without fear or favour as he took oath of office. “There are many suspects who have never been prosecuted. This is the right time to do this in the shortest time possible,” Kiir told Justice Chan Reec, former Chairperson of the South Sudan Referendum Bureau. Justice Chan expressed his commitment to the President’s call and pledged to tirelessly ensure justice prevails in the newest State.
