So, what we have done and what we are doing is that, once we finalize with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance and the salaries are increased, I am sure they are not going to leave the public service."

Some of the conditions in the hospital include lack of proper diagnostic equipment and lack of proper facilities for treatment, including cancer treatment."

As we are talking, the doctors and nurses are Government officers and their salaries are normally determined by the Ministry of State for Public Service. The Ministry of State for Public Service had already passed their recommendation to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance. So, our hands are tied because the money comes from the Office of the Deputy Prime and Ministry of Finance and they have not yet approved it."

Negotiations mean what the doctors had proposed and they should come back with counter proposals but the Ministry had not done that up to this morning. Could he tell us what he had negotiated because he is using the word negotiation? What has he negotiated using their proposed scheme which is in his office?"

As a Ministry, we are trying to minimize the pain and maximize pleasure. But with very little resources, it is not possible."

The Ministry of Medical Service hates them so much that they do not equip the hospitals. The Ministry of Medical Services even sacks them, apart from those ones resigning. Could the Assistant Minister explain to this House why Dr. Onyimbo Kerema, file No.2009042821 was interdicted on 6th October, 2011 for agitating for the formation of this union? You can go ahead and sack him and yet you are paying him peanuts. Could you explain when you are going to reinstate this doctor?"
