The controversial Member of Parliament at the national assembly who reportedly set a church ablaze in Gogrial East County over the weekend rubbished ill social media reports on his health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media was taken awash by a rumor alleging that the lawmaker from Gogrial East constituency who burnt down a Seventh day Adventist church in his area got injured in the neck under peculiar circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phow Radio FM, an unreliable Facebook page yesterday posted on its news page that \u201cthe controversial member of R-TNLA who once served as interior minister Gen. Salva Mathok Gengdit reportedly collapsed while standing and talking on the phone at his home and that later caused terrible harm to his neck in Warrap State this morning, (Tuesday) it reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The social media page known for sharing fake unverified reports further stated that a family member told them (Phow Radio FM) that Gen. Mathok was flown to Juba where he will possibly be airlifted to Nairobi for an intensive medical attention by yesterday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when contacted by No.1 Citizen daily newspaper about the rumors Gen. Salva Mathok refuted the claims soundly saying he is alive and kicking and he even attended Tuesday\u2019s assembly sitting that was later adjourned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MP rubbished the Social Media propaganda terming those wishing him bad health as witches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ill-health rumor of Gen. Mathok comes few days ago, after the Gogrial East lawmaker set the Seventh Day Adventist Church ablaze in his constituency claiming that the Church was practicing immorality and abolishing traditional morals within his community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This incident later prompted social media debate with majority criticizing his action as raping of the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen. Mathok told this paper that one evident that shows he is healthy and didn\u2019t sustain the allege injury was his presence in the Assembly Tuesday, directing his critics to follow their television for more evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was in the Assembly sitting this morning until the Assembly meeting was adjourned and then I went for another meeting in Bilpam,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s all rubbish,\u201d he reacted to the rumor surrounding his health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MP was shocked with the rumor saying \u201cI don\u2019t know how I can express that one. He then arguably said in Juba Arabic that \u201cDee Nass saharin,\u201d loosely translated in English as evil people or witches, wishing him sickness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
