The troubling practices surrounding J1 have shed light on the growing awareness of how deeply they impact the people's lives. As a result, there's been a surge in recognition across the political landscape regarding individuals accused of capturing J1. Activists have stepped up, pinpointing those they believe are behind these actions. Their findings are based on connections, WhatsApp groups, and past experiences.
In their investigation, the group has revealed that that state capture is often tied to individuals within the country's state institutions. A common example involves state officials who morph into cartels, prioritizing their own interests over the president's vision for the public good.
It has been highlighted that various groups have effectively exploited their positions for personal gain, engaging in activities like looting oil funds, selling positions, accepting bribes, and even running prostitution rings—all without the president's knowledge.
The methods of operation range from actions that seem legal to those that are clearly unlawful, with some falling into a gray area.
The immediate fallout is a detrimental impact on the public interest, as the private interests of the captors take precedence, influencing public policy, practices, spending, and behavior.
Moreover, state capture significantly undermines the president's ability to operate effectively and meet public expectations.
For these reasons, various activists have called upon President Kiir to Remove Alleged J1 Cartels.
