The Muslim community in Rumbek Central County said they want their fellow men to slaughter their cows and goats in the Slaughter house, claiming that the meat of a cow slaughtered by none Muslims is unclean.
Muslims slaughters’ leader Abdullah Ahmed presented a list of ten people to the Government health office on Monday their community selected to be slaughtering meat for them only, Good News Radio reported.
Public Health Director Makur Ater Akony rejected the Muslims’ suggestion on the ground that it was political and would create division in the state.
He advised the Muslim community to abandon their idea because in Khartoum slaughters are Muslims and Christians did not demand for their slaughters.
The state government rejected the same proposal of Rumbek Muslim community in 2010.
