What happened
While inspecting fuel depots in Juba, the Managing Director of Nilepet made remarks regarding the company's role in the petroleum sector. The MD stated that Nilepet, as the commercial arm of the government, was procuring and stocking fuel to support President Kiir and his SPLM party for elections. These statements were made despite directives requiring officials to remain politically impartial during the caretaker period.

Why it matters
The company explicitly linked its procurement activities to the electoral success of the SPLM. The MD called on Nilepet employees to rally behind President Kiir and campaign for his re-election, contradicting the official ban on using state institutions for political campaigning.
