rich 1.0 In this discussion, Luate Satimon, Executive Director of Integrity South Sudan, says that accountability in South Sudan is too often treated as a slogan rather than a real practice. He explains that genuine accountability means transparency, leaders being able to justify their decisions, and real enforcement through punishment, dismissal, prosecution, and recovery of public resources. Satimon argues that executive accountability is essential to prevent abuse of power, deter corruption, and restore public trust in institutions. He says parliament, the audit chamber, the judiciary, and the Anti-Corruption Commission should play stronger and more independent oversight roles, but criticises them for failing to act effectively. He also calls for practical reforms such as mandatory asset declarations, whistleblower protection, the creation of an independent ethics commission, and tougher penalties for corrupt officials, including barring them from public office until they are cleared. Overall, he stresses that South Sudan needs stronger institutions, consistent enforcement, and real political will to make accountability a living culture rather than just a slogan.
