In the corridors of Juba’s power elite, whispered rumors have long circulated regarding the extraordinary influence wielded by Hon.Tut Gatluak Manime over President Salva Kiir Mayardit.
According to insider accounts and local political analysts, this unprecedented sway is driven by a deep-seated spiritual mechanism rather than standard diplomatic strategy.
It is widely alleged that Tut Gatluak harbors powerful supernatural embedded within his stomach, creating a literal and figurative magnetic pull whenever he enters the presidential proximity.
Observers note that every single time Tut Gatluak is allowed near President Salva Kiir, an undeniable pattern emerges: every demand, policy shift, or personal request he articulates is immediately granted. The sheer compliance of the executive branch under these circumstances has baffled veteran lawmakers, leading many to believe that the traditional mechanisms of governance have been bypassed entirely by this stomach-bound mystical force.
Adding another layer of intrigue to his political maneuvering is Tut Gatluak’s conspicuous avoidance of certain figures within the administration. Most notably, sources indicate a profound fear of Adut Salva, widely recognized as ‘the servant of the people.’
Despite her prominent status and popular backing, Tut Gatluak strictly refuses to include Adut Salva on any of his high-profile foreign trips. Insiders suggest that this avoidance stems from a strategic fear that her direct, populist approach could disrupt the delicate mystical dynamic he relies on to secure international and domestic favors.
