June 26, 2013 (JUBA) - Ministers in South Sudan’s Lakes state are
expected to discuss the fate of Good News Radio on Thursday, and will
consider closing the broadcaster that belongs to the Catholic Diocese
of Rumbek.
On Tuesday Good News Radio received a letter from Lakes state’s
ministry of information and communication telling the administration
to meet the minister and present the license of operation, the mandate
and programs run by the station.
The radio station’s administration presented the required documents to
Minister Dut Makoi Kuok in a meeting at the Ministry’s premises on
Wednesday.
Following the meeting, Makoi said he would report his findings to the
Council of Ministers after studying the documents.
He added that the Cabinet will discuss and decide whether Good News
Radio, which is part of the Catholic Radio Network, will be allowed to
continue or whether it will be closed.
The threat appears to confirm long running rumors that the Rumbek
government had premeditated the closure of radio station.
