Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Eng. Charles Kisanga, former information minister in Western Equatoria State, was kidnapped at Classic Hotel at Hai Mawona on Wednesday morning after a person identified as Jackson Gamu who was to meet him came with troops to pick him up, according to the former minister\u2019s wife Suzanne Kisanga.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband left in the morning with one of his friends and after they arrived there, someone came with a car, apparently the one who was supposed to have a meeting with him, and asked him to get into a car and they drove him away and never returned to me,\u201d Suzanne told Sudans Post today.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post this morning, police spokesman Maj. Gen. Daniel Justin said they have received the complaint from Kisanga\u2019s family but then the authorities are still working on establishing circumstances in which he was kidnapped and the possible culprits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have received the information that he disappeared or kidnapped from the family and we are still investigating the circumstance in which he was disappeared or kidnapped, but we can\u2019t talk about it now because it is under investigation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

It remains unconfirmed as to who is behind Kisanga\u2019s kidnapping. But Sudans Post confirmed from a source that the kidnapper is indeed Jackson Gamu who is a military officer attached to the office of the speaker of parliament and the disappearance comes a week after Kisanga wrote an article in which he criticized Hon. Nunu Kumba.<\/p>\n

He described Kumba as \u201cunfit\u201d for the job of speaker of parliament and that her \u201cshame of holding office with so many blunders would even be enough to a really conscious person to just resign to save their dignity and reputation if any was left.\u201d<\/p>\n
