Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan information minister and government spokesman Michael Makuei Lueth has dismissed rumors that vice-president for economic cluster James Wani Igga has been evacuated to Egypt for treatment and said the senior government official is not even sick.<\/p>\n

Rumors have been circulating on social media for the past days claiming that Igga has been evacuated and taken to Egypt for treatment after suffering unidentified illness.<\/p>\n

But information minister dismissed the claims as \u2018wishful\u2019 thinking saying the vice president is in India attending a conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWani is in India to attend a conference. This came from wishful thinkers who wish for VP Dr. James Wani to be sick, but Wani Igga is not sick,\u201d Makuei said, according to Radio Tamazuj.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Indian foreign ministry issued a statement to give a \u201cWarm welcome to Vice President James Wani Igga of South Sudan on his arrival in India for participating in the CII-EXIM Bank Conclave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another step towards deepening the bilateral partnership between India and South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n
