Looking for Law in All the Wrong Places
Feb. 8th, 2010
Quite likely, South Sudan will break away to become an independent country after a 2011 referendum and if so, it will need a lot of investment. Certainly its economic potential, like the potential existing in many African nations is without doubt. What is indeed questionable are the convictions of those making decisions in the region to honestly and openly promote the opportunity for investment and simultaneously seek out and thwart the rampant corruption in the region.
Yes, South Sudan has oil, sugar and grain, but the government apparently stifles the exploration of its potential by allowing corrupt officials to travel with heavy bank accounts, flush with cash, running a nation with all of the resources but none of the work ethic.
