Letter of Apology to Prof Malek Madut

 By Simon Yel Yel, Juba, South Sudan

May 15, 2015 (SSB)  —  In my last article “Hard Time: Warrap Will Remain a State of Wonders Forever” published on May 13, 2015 by PaanLuel Wel online website and in print by Juba Monitor, I had castigated Governor Nyandeng Malek for the violations of the constitution of Warrap state from 2011 to 2015.

I had then playfully, and without any bad intention, added that the people of Warrap should “blame Prof Malek Madut for importing Nyandeng from Cueibet to Warrap without first removing these dangerous “wonders” in her.”

I would like to abjure the word “IMPORT” I used in my article. I accepted that the word “import” was wrongly MISPLACED while the rest of words are correctly placed and I take full responsibility of them.

I understand the word ”import” was wrongly misplaced and no reason can justify it, but I would like you to know that I was enraged by Nyandeng’s ad infinitum flagrant violations of the constitution of Warrap and that have forced me to use that word.

I didn’t have ill-intention to use it to describe your legal marriage but I found it right to use because I was infuriated by what Nyandeng always do in Warrap state.

I didn’t impugn the political aptitude of any woman that hails from Cueibet to govern but I was trying to tell the public where Nyandeng hails from.

I would love to make it clear to everyone and Nyandeng Malek herself that my criticism was not a character assassination, libellous nor even giving a dog a bad name but I believe what I wrote were facts with evidences but only I erroneously MISPLACED the word” import” to describe the legal marriage between Nyandeng Malek and Prof Malek Madut.

I request you (Malekdit) to forgive me for wrongly describing your legal marriage. I promise to use the right words in my next article when criticizing Nyandeng Malek and no single word will touch the family again.

I also want to let Hon Nyandeng Malek know that am not apologizing for pointing out her hitherto infringements of Warrap constitution but for only MISPLACING the word “import”.
