Citizens in South Sudan lost respect to the government because of bad manners and reckless driving.
Juba Catholic Archdiocese Secretary-General Gabriel Ashida while presiding over the prayer service of the late Bakhita Radio’s news editor, Simon Tongun on Saturday, said citizens no longer have a sense of respect to the government.
He explained that when citizens see a governments’ car with yellow plate number they either run away from the road or stop and leave it to pass because their drivers have bad driving manners.
Fr Ashida stressed that there is need of change in government’s institutions not the change of leaders.
He warned that if government institutions are not corrected, government cars will continue to kill young people like Tongun.
Fr Ashida said God was angry with the people of South Sudan and will continue to take away lives of people who could deliver.
He said the person who killed Tongun will not deliver a quarter of what the late editor was doing to save lives in the country.
Fr Ashida said even if the person who killed Simon Tongun was sentenced to death it would not be equal and if released would not do what the late was delivering.
the cleric criticized reckless driving and the fact that drivers rampantly killed people and insurance companies only pay 20 South Sudanese Pounds.
The late Simon Tongun was killed by a military car last Monday.
