Koang said Kenya would be dealing a blow to the relations the citizens of the two countries had established should its leadership decide to deport of their key member.

 If Dong Samuel is deported to Juba, I am afraid Kenya government would have hit the last nail on the coffin in regard to Bieh state. All Kenyans, including those in the humanitarian world must send strong to their government on the matter. Bieh state leadership and the citizens will never tolerate such practices”, the order adds.
