I feel that at this juncture we should compel the Government to ensure that the necessary financial and human resource allocation is made to health facilities so as to ensure that we do not lose more mothers and newborns as a result of obstetric fistula. It is my hope that the Ministry of Health and the Committee on Implementation will ensure that they walk the ... view

• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: When we have a joint committee, the expectation of the Members is that there will be rich ideas. That is why you find that Members are uncomfortable with the Report. For a fact, the scope of the issues raised by Hon. Lesuuda was big.
