  3. Welcome back your Excellence Mr President. While you were away your people were sharing fertilizer in medas and the Parliamentary Committee on Health found that there’s truly an acute shortage of drugs in health facilities across the country. But as usual your praise singers shot down the report in Parliament. The reality still remains that there’s a shortage of drugs. So in whose interest was that report shot down? Praise singers are enemies of progress, they’ll also shun you when tables change
