National (TNLA) Assembly Speaker, Nunu Jemma Threatened To Drag SPLM-IO Member Of Parliament To Court Over Alleged Embezzlement Claim By The Lawmaker

Top Trending News Just For You To Read:


Transitional National Legislative Assembly Speaker Nunu Jemma has threatened to sue  'SPLM-IO' Lawmaker to the court over Alleged Embezzlement Claim by the SPLM-IO MP. 


The claim to drag SPLM-IO Member of Parliament to the court by Speaker Nunu came to 'light' after John Agany Deng the Chairperson of Specialized Committee Of Information At The TNLA, said Hon. Juol Nhomngek Daniel accused Nunu of embezzling SSP 12 million. 


In his own words John Agany said that: “So the Honorable Juol Nhomngek has to bring the allegations forward so that they are substantiated otherwise he will be going to attend a court hearing about this allegation which he has leveled against Speaker Jemma Nunu Kumba.” John said. 


Hon. Juol Nhomngek revealed that he was given 'hot slaps' by security officers after he tried to stop speaker Nunu from stealing 12 Million SSP from the Parliament. 

  

Specialized Committee Of Information At The TNLA Chairperson defended himself by saying that the money in 'question' was meant to purchase flight tickets for the Maps in the Regional East Africa Legislative Assembly 'EALA'. 


“There was an allegation that was leveled against the speaker on 25 February regarding SSP 12,495,000 which was allocated administratively to facilitate the EALA members,” he said. “As you know, our members of EALA are paid by EALA but this does not stop us from supporting them when they come for recess. The SSP 12 million that was alleged to be stolen by the speaker was the money used administratively to support and give those (EALA members) air tickets.” John said.


John Agany further said that, what the SPLM-IO Member of Parliament is doing is some 'recurring:, because it was not the first time the SPLM-IO Lawmaker is accusing the speaker. 


“Hon. Juol Ngomngek and his associate must be well reminded that any allegation they pass against anyone in this house, including the speaker, will be attended to in a court of law and the speaker has a right to defend herself before any court of law,” he said. “This is not the first time he has made such allegations. In the last three to six months, he has been making all those allegations, and an ad hoc committee was formed to investigate him and he was found guilty of leveling false accusations against the speaker who forgave him as a mother. I think he is taking a chance by thinking that he will be forgiven again.” John said. 


“Again, he has been under investigation by another committee for the last three weeks and is yet to answer.” John Added.

Jemma Nunu Kumba is the Speaker of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly of South Sudan.
