John Agou Wuoi, one of the 16 individuals allegedly involved in a corruption case at the office of the South Sudanese president in 2015, has been released.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment for their role in the loss of $14 million and 30 million South Sudan Pounds (SSP).
The other individuals, who were imprisoned for corruption charges in the office of the president, were released.
David de Dau, the leader of the advocacy group calling itself the Agency for Intervention and Management (AIM), told Radio Tamazuj this afternoon that John Agou was pardoned by President Salva Kiir.
“John Agou has been released today based on the decision taken by President Salva Kiir,” he said.
“Agou has been asked to pay the fine of $2 million and 14 million SSP that was issued by the court,” he explained.
