CLARIFICATION ON DEPUTY GOVERNOR'S STATEMENT DURING WORLD AIDS DAY

" Given the alarming rates of HIV/AIDs death and infections in the State - there's a need to have a mandatory test when one visits hospital for other diseases test. If you're going to get tested of malaria, typhoid, or any other disease, then HIV/AIDs test should also be included. "

Dear Public,

No one was forced by Deputy Governor to get tested in the hospital for HIV/AIDs. Neither, did he say one wouldn't be allowed to get a job when he's HIV/AIDs positive. This was never on Hon. Poth Madit's lips. If you really want to get the original content of the message, please visit Hot In Juba's page and SSBC as an audio.

Hon. Deputy Governor Poth Madit Dut attended and officially opened International Day to End Impunity on Journalists at Hillview Hotel, Lakes State - Rumbek.

In his remarks, Poth shed a few points before he officially opened it. That's by recognising roles of media and journalism in good governance, that media is also a fourth arm of governance in the modern society. He, on the other hand strengthened the fact that with unethical and unprofessional, poor reporting and choosing of wrong words can be dangerous on that individual politicians. So it's backfired to your journalistic work.

Hon. Poth said, for journalism and media to thrive; there's need to have proper training and education needed. He furthered input that Impunity doesn't have space in him as a second powerful leader in the State, but on the occasion that law has to take its full course to trial journalists.
He also recognised the presence of one of the NCAC members and shared with him the need to enact laws that protect journalists.
Lastly, he emphasised that no Impunity is entertained when journalists execute character assassinations on individuals.
In attendance were SSPDF, Police and NSS members.
