• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, what we have done as a Ministry is to recommend to the recently formed Salaries and Remuneration Commission which has not started its work. 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 ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot say the exact figure that we have agreed upon. If you look at the new Constitution which demands that everything must pass through the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, what we have done has even been explained to them because we share in their concerns. As a Ministry, we are trying to minimize the pain and maximize pleasure. But with very little resources, it is not possible. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a different question but I will answer it. I do not have that information about the doctor he has mentioned, but I will take the information and carry out investigations. view
