The government of South Sudan has rubbished the comprehensive sentry\u2019s publication on the \u201cunder cover activities\u201d inside the national security service\u2019s profitable book and companies demanding its immediate withdrawal from circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the media yesterday, Lily Adhieu Martin, the press secretary in the Office of the President echoed that government urged the sentry to issue a public apology to each and every individual, company or entity that has been falsely or misleadingly described in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement stated that the \u201csentry\u201d is international agencies such as the United Nations and its satellite organizations based at the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Sentry is a US based organization that seeks targeted sanctions, seizure of assets and notice of financial risks amongst many other measures to cause harm to the sustainability and economic development of the Republic of South Sudan,\u201d Lily said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the statement pointed out that the sentry report has misrepresented South Sudan\u2019s laws for companies and misled its readers citing dormant companies as actively trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government noted that a forensic review of the evidence reveals allegations that are based upon incorrect interpreted and out-dated information aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the Country and some individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe report is based upon flawed methodology, using second-hand hearsay including click-bait and newspaper articles, generic references to document collections, self-referential material and anonymous sources which prevents further proper scrutiny of the serious allegations made against both individuals and the national security service,\u201d Lily stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Sudan Government slammed the Sentry against lack of investigative rigor, recycling of information without independent research and misjudgment in making the most serious allegations against the authority alongside side public figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They termed the Sentry\u2019s report as misleading, incomplete and reckless based on the fact that no substantive information was cited to underpin the most serious recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn one instance for example, no substantive information was cited to underpin the serious recommendations namely the sanctioning of a named individual, Mr. Jalpan Obyce whose reputation has now been tarnished,\u201d they noted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gov\u2019t response statement further echoed that \u201cIn another instance, the report recycled a so-called well exemplified case cited by the United Nations panel of experts that is flawed and mispresents the true facts concerning Brigadier General Malual Dhal Muorwel and 25 others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, government revealed that they are aware of accused significant number of individuals who issued letters of complaints to the Sentry providing corrective information and appending government\u2019s response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, they said that the report is nothing less than an exercise bias in confirmation of facts and reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
