5 Reasons Why I Support South Sudan Government on Jobs Decree

As of 15th October, foreigners will cease all jobs that jobs that South Sudanese can do. I know this may rings as discrimination in the minds of some. Anyway, my colleagues may ask me 10+ questions because I got a chance to work in Kenya which is contrary to Kenyan government rules. PM, later but as of now, here are my 5 reasons I clap my hands to labor minister.

FYI, I have not been impressed in some initiatives taken by our government, but this time around, some right is in the air. Join me.

1) Employment rate in South Sudan is high, hence, 80% should be given to the citizens and the rest to the foreigners. Why should South Sudan provides employment opportunities to foreigners? Can't their government create and provide for their citizens?

2) South Sudanese has the man power. Watch out foreign economists because even during war; war is the heaviest labor that epitomize all.

3) The largest percent of national income goes to foreigners' accounts back to their countries, therefore, it's mincing the economy.

4) Jobs that South Sudanese nationals can handle should not be occupied by foreigners. In fact, South Sudan can only allow professionals who can offer us RARE skills or enter our country as green shoe operatiors i.e. investors who can partner with citizens from scratch.

5) Other countries have also done the same. E.g. Kenya, Uganda, Oman + etc, why not South Sudan?
