South Sudan Council Of Ministers Asked South Sudanese To Respect President Kiir Oder Which Bans Singing The National Anthem In His Absence.

-

The public is asked to observe a Presidential order banning the singing of the national anthem in the absence of the President.

The council of ministers in its regular sitting on Friday resolved that the anthem is only meant for functions attended by the President

“This should be strictly observed because it is not meant for everybody,” government spokesperson Michael Makuei told journalists after the meeting in Juba on Friday. 
Makuei said there was a tendency for the national song to be ‘misused’ and sang at functions presided over by ministers, undersecretaries and governors.

The cabinet meeting also endorsed a Presidential directive banning the military from engaging in politics.

Government spokesperson Makuei says all commanders in their respective forces should not speak at public rallies.

“They have the choice to either to leave the uniform and go to the public and be a politician and be free to talk in public rallies, or else be a disciplined soldier,” Makuei clarified.
