How can it be a mini hospital when its part of the Indian Exim Bank prefab Health Posts….there is no such thing as mini hospital just like there is no such thing as mini university its either a college or a university.
There is your first challenge, Hon Bwalya Ng’andu. I hope you understood when your boss said he was your coach and you were the super sub. Under normal circumstances it would be a wrong analogy, but you can rest assured that it was used in its literal meaning, that players are told what to do on the pitch, or directed if you like. So Hon Ng’andu, you don’t have much latitude to carry out your austerity plans even though they were agreed by cabinet, I mean the coach.
Now find the money for 102 mini hospitals and also to complete the 605 health posts which are all less than 20% complete, some not even started yet.
I don’t envy you Honourable Minister, I would actually refuse the job…… kikikikikiki….kikikikikiki…..
upnd cadre: I’m agreeing wth u on this one. That’s wht Bwalya Ng’andu has to live wth or quit.
