Unfulfilled promises to BUDI

There were several proposed projects that initially instilled a sense of optimism within the community, fostering hopeful anticipation for progress. Noteworthy among these proposals were:

1. The Road Survey between Sereteny and Loryiok.

2. The establishment of a Community Radio in Chukudum.

3. The feasibility study for Network Connection.

4. The establishment of a Vocational Agriculture Institute in Nahichod.

Presently, it is imperative to inquire about the status updates regarding these projects, as well as to ascertain the individuals or teams assigned the role of Community Liaison Officer or oversight responsibility.

A notable instance of unfulfilled promises pertains to the commitment made by the President years ago to construct a conference hall in Chukudum. Regrettably, subsequent communication regarding this pledge has been lacking, raising concerns regarding the reliability and accountability of public affairs.

Conversely, endeavors involving Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), particularly those with foreign involvement, should ideally adhere to higher standards of transparency and integrity. The Community Radio and School initiatives in Nahichod, for instance, should remain insulated from the prevalent culture of deceit observed in Juba. One would anticipate foreign entities to prioritize the preservation of organizational integrity and the genuine pursuit of their missions.

The conspicuous absence of progress reports prompts legitimate inquiries among stakeholders. What justification exists for the initial enthusiasm and resource allocation, both material and temporal, if the outcomes merely amount to rhetorical gestures and superficial reputation enhancement? Moreover, the selection of Budi county as the focal point for public relations efforts warrants scrutiny and elucidation. These inquiries necessitate thorough examination and response.
