The Bank of South Sudan (BoSS) has rejected information circulating online alleging that Governor Johnny Ohisa stated that rats damaged 3 trillion South Sudanese pounds within storage facilities.

In a press statement issued on Tuesday, June 23, and signed by the bank’s communication department, the management of the central bank stated that neither the Governor nor any representative made such a statement.

The bank termed the claims a fabrication, stating that the information was circulated to misinform the public and undermine confidence in the financial system.

The central bank condemned the dissemination of unverified reports and directed the public, media organizations, and social media operators to disregard the allegations.

The management urged individuals to refrain from sharing content that alters facts.

The statement noted that communications from the institution are issued through channels including the Bank of South Sudan website and its communication platforms.

The online reports emerged during a period of constraints for the government, which have affected its capacity to settle expenditures. Wage disbursements for civil servants and public sector employees face delays across fiscal terms.

Prior to the issuance of the bank’s denial, analysts noted that reports of currency losses highlighted questions regarding infrastructure, warehouse monitoring protocols, and asset controls within financial institutions.

The bank concluded its statement by asserting its commitment to stability and the dissemination of data.
