Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s Minister of Youth & Sports Albino Bol Dhieu has indirectly referred to the country\u2019s cabinet minister Martin Elia Lomuro as a \u2018criminal\u2019 after the later referred to citizens opposing government river dredging initiative as \u2018social media criminals\u2019.<\/p>\n

On June 30, Minister Lomuro who was speaking during the last funeral rite of late water resource minister Manawa Peter Gatkuoth lambasted citizens as social media criminals for criticizing the government in its project to dredge Nam River of weeds, saying the project was approved by the council of ministers.<\/p>\n

The remarks by the senior government official sparked social media debates and controversies as to how government officials see citizens that they are supposed to be answerable to.<\/p>\n

Youth minister Bol was among those who went on to comment on the remarks by Mr. Lomuro saying anyone calling citizens criminals for expressing their view on the matter is a criminal himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny talk about dredging, and anyone who tries to say, people who say dredging should not be done, they are criminals, he is the criminal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy? Because this matter is concerning our country, it is concerning your future and that of the coming generations after 100 and 200 years, there is no joke about it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
