WHAT
TRANSPIRED IN PARLIAMENT ON MONDAY THIS WEEK:
ABOUT 6,180 people are expected to be recruited by
the government during 2018/19 financial year so as to help speed up the
activities in health sector which currently is facing shortage of workers in
the country. The deputy minister of State in President’s office responsible for
local government and regional administration Josephat Kandege said in
parliament on Monday this week that, the aim of the government is to cater for
the need of such staff in places which are faced with acute shortages of
workers. In line with the newly recruited staff, the government has also seen
the need to provide vehicles in all heath centres which do not have transport
of any kind to help patients in case of urgent matters associated with their
health status.

to these, the deputy minister noted that, plans to provide means of transport
