According to Radio Emmanuel, Minister Peter Lokeng Lotone is to answer and give updates concerning the current security situation of Magwi County.
He is to also brief the August House on the security situation of areas in Eastern Equatoria State.
Minister of Information and Communication, Patrick Oting Cyprian, who was also summoned last week, appeared before the August House this Monday.
He was to brief the August house on reasons why parliamentary sittings are not aired or covered by the state owned radio station.
