How every, Kiir has been appearing in recent days in public in a total disregard of the health concerns.

In a statement to Sudans Post on Monday, Wek said the reports are untrue and that the president is carrying out his duties as usual and does not need heart transplant as speculated saying the reports are fabrications.

“The President is not sick and had nothing in his heart that requires transplant,” Wek said from the capital Juba. “All are witch-hunting and fabrications.”

    I don’t trust the presidency whatsoever they said. How many times they says something but later on the leak came up true.

    Second to that, there is no secret for sickness or a shame because this can happen to anyone. The wife of long body of President bodyguard did explain on social media that, the President Salva Kiir Mayardit was told by witch doctor to go for treatment and she was blaming President Salva Kiir Mayardit laying off her husband so this is not new.

    The President Salva Kiir Mayardit need to Delegate his presidency to someone who is responsible, skillfully, experience and educated person who will be acting president until the election is due and he has to take rest and follow his treatment if possible. There is no need of dying at the presidency when there are capable and well educated people in the country. I think the country need a person like Dr. Nhial Deng Nhial who has more experience than anyone in South Sudan’s government. Nhial Deng Nhial is a lawyer and the big problem in South Sudan nation is the absence of lawful practice, direction of government system, foreign policy, tribalism, favoritism, corruption and you name it. I believe Nhial Deng Nhial will repair the foreign policy and also he will be able to set up the government system forget those who said, Nhial Deng is not a Military guy. The Military leadership will deal with any concerns about security and protection of South Sudan nation.

    You have nailed it, my bro regarding the issue that Nhial Deng Nhial is not a military person it’s not the issue but the issue is that they do not want Nhial Deng to rule in this country is that he will put the country on the right path by arresting all the corrupts official for life.

    Also, he will bring American to handle or manage our oil which they are benefiting from it by dividing the oil money between the Airport monthly, J1, national security, and Bank of South Sudan.
