But we indicated that if constituency “A” does not have enough nurses, then we agreed that they can get nurses from the neighbouring constituencies.

That is the new method that is being used. We do not pay cash as such. But if we find that they do not have bank accounts, then we will have to use an option of getting the money delivered to the district headquarters for them to be paid. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we shall try to ensure that we pay them as soon as possible. Nevertheless--- view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Maybe in the next one month I will give a report to this House. We shall try as much as possible to pay them. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already mentioned that there has been delay in submitting bank accounts. We have taken it upon ourselves, as a Ministry, to ensure that we get their bank accounts as soon as possible so that we can pay these nurses. However, I have already mentioned that we have an option: we shall probably take the money to the district headquarters and pay these nurses there. view
