Critics say the footage proves Mr Kiir is not well enough to lead South Sudan, while others argue the release of the footage is disrespectful.
Six journalists have been detained after a video surfaced appearing to show the president of South Sudan wetting himself.
The footage was widely shared last month and shows a dark stain spreading down President Salva Kiir's trousers and a wet patch forming on the floor as he stands for the national anthem. The national journalists' union said those held work for the South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation and were detained on Tuesday and Wednesday.He named them as camera operators Joseph Oliver and Mustafa Osman; video editor Victor Lado; contributor Jacob Benjamin; and Cherbek Ruben and Joval Toombe from the control room.
