South Sudan's vice president responds to report over misuse of aid

Taban Deng Gai, who is now first vice president of South Sudan, speaks to reporters in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa on Jan. 8, 2014. In an interview airing on Monday's PBS NewsHour, South Sudan Vice President Taban Deng Gai responded to a report that the country's top leaders were profiting off the five-year conflict by saying it's under investigation, but the report might be false. Human rights group The Sentry this month released the results of a two-year investigation that found South Sudanese politicians were spending international aid on mansions and fancy cars, and giving expensive contracts to family members. "They say that my president, for example, they accuse him of having a house in one of the suburbs of Nairobi city. I don't think a crime for a president -- a sitting president for more than 10 years" to have a house there, Deng told PBS NewsHour Weekend anchor Hari Sreenivasan.
