Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>By James Atem Kuir<\/b><\/p>\n

Singer Larson Angok Garang vowed to be a peace ambassador after the Office of the President, J1 gifted him with a brand new Toyota Landcruiser V8 yesterday.<\/p>\n

The singer said he received the luxury car donated to him by President Salva Kiir Mayardit through his National Security Advisor Tut Gatluak Manime.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even express my feeling very well because I\u2019m too excited and happy because this will be the second gift in my music career,\u201d the Afro-pop singer told Juba Monitor yesterday, adding it was his second time to have received a car from J1.<\/p>\n

Mr. Angok, who last year was detained by security allegedly over his controversial song \u2018Miith SPLM\u2019 which criticizes the ruling party, SPLM for negligence, corruption among other vices, took to his personal website: Larson.com to praise the head of state for the grand gift and promised to be an ambassador of peace through his music.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has taken me some time to share this personal appreciation to the President for the gift of the car through Security Presidential Advisor Tut.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith gladness in my heart, I want to use this outlet to express my tremendous gratitude to the president who saw me worthy and capable of receiving this gift,\u201d the singer wrote on his website.<\/p>\n

\u201cAm very grateful for this great opportunity and I promise to strive to make sure my responsibilities are performed perfectly in peace and nationalistic way always.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe words of peace you spoke to me while presenting me with a gift certainly touched my heart and I promise to be the ambassador of peace through my musical ability. I feel proud and recognized and I thank you my beloved President in many ways,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In March 2021, MrAngok was arrested in Wau, Western Bahr el Ghazal State and transferred to Juba where he was held for weeks before being released on bail in April 2021.<\/p>\n

The police authorities did not release any statement about his arrest but several reports last year claimed his detention was linked to his series of facebook posts where he lamented the current predicaments in-country in addition to his \u2018Miith SPLM\u2019 hit.<\/p>\n

MrAngok told Juba Monitor said he never had any problems with the government and that he was never told about the person who had arrested him last year.<\/p>\n
