Government suspends media coverage of Abyei referendum: this is what Michael Makuei Lueth (Minister for information) said about the decision to suspend the media coverage... The suspension was done to allow the government [to] put in place processes for [the] Abyei referendum in an organised and responsible manner”, he said. “I have seen that the process is being abused. There are some people who just show up at the station to talk unnecessarily”, he added. Lueth said the measures are being put in place to prevent media representatives making irresponsible or incorrect statements on the issue. They (media organisations) need to be guided by allowing them to comment on the issues they think they have clear knowledge about, instead of making it an open talk show.” Michael Makuei is on what he was appointed to do-gags the media and infringe on civil liberties.
