South Sudan's President Salva Kiir has accused officials of stealing at least $4bn (£2.6bn) from state resources. He has written to 75 current and former senior government employees, asking for the unaccounted money to be returned. About $60m has been recovered since the letters were sent out last month, the information minister told the BBC.
The new nation is desperately in need of funds after its oil production, which accounts for 98% of revenue, was shut down in an argument with Sudan. South Sudan seceded from Sudan to form the world's newest nation last July.
I suppose $60 million will help,but human greed is everywhere,I expect that the accurate figure will never be known this $4 billion is a guess,written records ? Of course not.
