\nThe Archbishop of Juba in a
\npress statement on Thursday 30th October declared Bakhita Radio
\nofficially reopened.<\/div>\n
\n                   <\/div>\n
\nArchbishop Paolino Lukudu
\nLoro called on Bakhita, other Catholic radios of the Network and all radios in
\nSouth Sudan to honestly and efficiently deliver messages of hope,
\nreconciliation and peace to people as Jesus did to all persons in the world.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHe pointed out that Bakhita
\nRadio was closed for two months due to administrative, technical and financial
\nirregularities.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHe said the Archdiocese
\nformed a committee to put the irregularities in order, so that the Station
\nreflects the voice of the Catholic Church in Juba.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nArchbishop Lukudu said the
\nArchdiocese also constituted a Board of Governance headed by a Vicar-General
\nand appointed Acting director to carry out the reform process.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHe explained that a policy
\nbook of the Radio is under revision to be signed into law by the end of the
\nyear, adding that staff reduction would be completed late December.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nArchbishop Lukudu appealed
\nfor emergency support as Bakhita Radio would face financial challenges to
\noperate well for some months.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIt is worth mentioning that
\nBakhita transmitter burnt during the test on Wednesday, evening, but another
\nwould reach Juba on Friday for listeners to enjoy programmes.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe Archdiocesan
\nAdministration promoted the former Radio Programme Manager, Josephine Achiro,
\nto lead the station after handing termination letter to the former Director,
\nAlbino Tokwaro, effective from November 30, 2014.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe Radio was stopped by
\nNational Security organs, but the Archdiocese after getting keys decided to
\nform an investigative committee to scrutinize the station.<\/div>\n
