Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan President Salva Kiir is now \u201cin good health\u201d after a voice challenge in neighbouring Kenya, the government spokesperson said. The South Sudanese leader was among three foreign Heads of State who attended Former President Mwai Kibaki\u2019s State Funeral service at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi on Friday, April 29.<\/p>\n

President Kiir could not read his speech due to a voice challenge, Kenya\u2019s President Uhuru Kenyatta announced. As a result, South Sudan\u2019s Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Martin Elia Lomuro, was invited by the host president to relay Kiir\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj this morning, Information Minister Michael Makuei Lueth said: \u201cThe President is now in good health; the president is in good health and is now in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone is sick, does he not recover? President Kenyatta announced that he (Kiir) was sick and had a problem with his throat. Does it mean the sickness is constant? An ailment comes and goes. It has gone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Makuei, who is also the government spokesperson, disputed rumours that the president had undergone knee surgery during his recent visit to the United Arab Emanates, saying the president was on a working visit to the Gulf country.<\/p>\n

The information minister said: \u201cI want to tell the concerned citizens that President Salva Kiir is fine and in good health. He had a small problem with his throat when he was in Nairobi but is now fine and has no problem. He is carrying out his normal duties serving the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
