Isn’t for Rumbek only?
Hi Madam Adak Costa, the Lakes State Minister of Information and Communication, please allow me to comment on this vital message concerning the issue of effective communication in Lakes State which I can see is very poor indeed.
Especially greater Yirol doesn’t get news because it has been excluded in Radio Rumbek FM-98 since the beginning. Now people use an electrical wire to attrack the waves and it is clearly spelt out in the CPA not to sideline the rest.
As a piece of advise we wanted you to extend it. Otherwise, you have left us out from the important news about CPA implementation and other daily news across the State and Sudan at large.
Thank You,
Yirol boy

Dear mrs/miss minister,better remind you that, I am one the guys who are happy to see courageous women like you in southern Sudan political room. However, the way you want to approach things do not favour most of us who are also keen to watch the way your leadership stories goes.
You have to recognize that, the whole of south sudan didn’t even experient what is called network since the creation,understandingly, for anybody to pop up and call federal help on telecommunication for single state is not a broad base ideology that we want at all. Also for YOur Rumbek to get telecommunication because of being important town as you put it does not make any sense by far. Bearing in mind that, we didn’t fight for one important town, better be specific that,Rumbek is a town in Bhar El Ghazzel where President Salva come from.
Let me ask you a question miss minister, why should Rumbek recieve university, News Radio,internet, and telecommunication improvement while there are thousands of towns in southern sudan craving for the same needs.
Please miss minister if you have an idea, use it nationally then tribalistically.
Guzulu.
