Among the competitors is the former commissioner of Awerial and the current deputy governor of Eastern Lakes State, among others.

According to a report on Edge.ug, while cows cost between 5,000 and 21,000 South Sudan Pounds (40-161 US dollars), V8s, usually second-hand from Dubai, cost 5,000 to 10,000 US dollars.
This means that Kok Alat is willing to pay in excess of 35,000 US dollars even if you take the lower estimates.
Kok Alat, the report added, is a self-made and successful businessman who already has nine wives.
He reportedly started his business in the 90s at Kakuma Refugee Camp in north western Turkana County, Kenya by borrowing Ksh250 from International Rescue Committee (IRC), an NGO that responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.
