Juba, September 1, 2017 (SSNA) — South Sudanese government agents have penetrated Ethiopia’s Gambella region political system by bribing politicians, civil servants, and police officers, a document leaked to the South Sudan News Agency (SSNA) has revealed. The document alleges that Gambella politicians who have been bribed by South Sudan’s agents prefer Taban Deng Gai over Dr. Riek Machar. The manuscript went further, alleging that the bribed Gambella politicians want the current Gambella President Gatluak Tut Khot replaced with another person of different ethnicity. The report also indicated that the Gambella official was somewhat nervous when “SPLM/A-IO Juba faction representative in Addis Ababa” suggested the idea to him. Some of the alleged bribed Gambella officials have acquired a permanent secret meeting place adjacent to former Gambella assembly building close to the main highway connecting Gambella and Addis Ababa, according the leaked document.
