Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Kenyan Ambassador to South Sudan, Samuel Nandwa, has been summoned and handed a protest letter over Dr. Peter Biar Ajak\u2019s alcohol remarks against President Salva Kiir on Kenya Television Network (KTN), a senior government official said.<\/p>\n

During the show, Dr. Biar alleged that President Salva Kiir could not address mourners in Kenya last week due to a \u201changover\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kiir traveled to Nairobi on April 28 where he joined others to mourn Former Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki\u2019s funeral prayers.<\/p>\n

But he was unable to address the gathering due to a throat issue and he delegated his Cabinet Minister Dr. Martin Ellia Lomoro to speak on his behalf.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters after the cabinet meeting on Friday, Information Minister, Michael Makuei Lueth said the South Sudanese ambassador in Kenya has been directed to protest Dr. Biar\u2019s remarks against President Kiir.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has taken measures on that. We have summoned the Kenyan ambassador here and gave him our protest and our ambassador also had also been directed to present a protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kenya,\u201d Makuei told media after a regular cabinet meeting in Juba on Friday.<\/p>\n

Makuei said Peter Bair\u2019s statement against the sitting President was uncalled for and unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was of course not accepted for a media house in Kenya to allow people who are in opposition to just utter irresponsible statements and give statements in the media houses,\u201d Makuei said.<\/p>\n

A senior government official said the Kenyan government shouldn\u2019t allow their platforms to be used by the opposition to offend the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was not acceptable and we have taken all necessary actions to address that situation that was an unfortunate situation because the speaker concentrated much on the personal issues of the President,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot that only but he went as far as saying all the commanders are drunkards and that they have been drinking during the war and including his father because his father is a general.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said described the protest letter as normal diplomatic action to express dissatisfaction with allowing their platforms to be used to abuse the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a normal diplomatic action that is taken; it is an expression of dissatisfaction with what was done or for making Kenyan media to be a platform for opposition to the government of South Sudan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
