Quote: South Sudan may reinvestigate Garang death Saturday 15 September 2007 03:21. Printer-Friendly version Comments... September 15, 2007 (JUBA) — The Government of South Sudan (GoSS) has announced that it may consider fresh inquiries into the death of its founder president John Garang, Kampala based the Monitor reported. John GarangThe announce follows growing agitation by many Sudanese that the former SPLA/M leader could have been assassinated. The spokesperson of South Sudan government, Samson Kwaje, said although that GoSS believed in the official account of the Khartoum-sanctioned commission of inquiry which said Garang died in a chopper crash caused by "bad weather and human (pilot) error", the inquest is still open. "That does not prevent further investigations," he said in an interview at his office on Wednesday. Garang is (was) a giant in our politics and there will (continue to) be a lot of speculation (about his death). We are not going to say that (findings of the official commission) was the final report and believe that those who have more information can come out." Madame Rebecca Nyandeng, the widow of the fallen SPLM chairman, recently caused a stir in the Kenyan capital Nairobi when she said she knew her late husband was "assassinated". On August 14, the Sudanese State Minister for Interior, Aleu Ayeny Aleu (who has since been sacked), claimed in an interview with local Arab-language Akhbar Aloum daily newspaper that Garang’s July 31, 2005 death was an arranged murder plot and not an accident. While the Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, was the first high profile leader to suggest that the chopper that carried Garang could have smashed due to other "external factors"., the Monitor said. Responding to a question as to whether the emerging allegations were an indictment of Uganda’s complicity, Kwaje said they were just speculation associated with demise of prominent officials. "If there is overwhelming evidence that those reasons given by the official (probe) report is not satisfactory, then it (new inquest) will be done. For example, if Rebecca Nyandeng comes up with her reasons and they are strong, it (new investigations) can be opened through a different commission," Kwaje said. GoSS spokesperson spoke of the warm diplomatic relations between Uganda and Southern Sudan government, the vast trade and investment opportunities in the area as well as tribulations of Ugandan traders in Juba city and the correctional measures undertaken.
