“Mps to EALA must represent the people of South Sudan as standard human beings. You should not misbehave so in this way, we are sorry and we believe that thus can be corrected,”
However, Agany also urged the regional legislative body to compromise with the fellow lawmaker adding that human beings commit mistakes and ought to be forgiven and warned.
