“We have dialogued several occasions with the various stakeholders but nothing to write home about and so this is the reason for embarking on this exercise again.”
The PRO for the group further explained the expectations of the group ahead of their planned demonstration.
“We’re only anticipating that the Nurse Assistant Clinicals and Preventives have undergone the Ministry of Health Recruitment portal and have been given the various regions for which they’ll be posted to so the expectation is very simple that the Ministry of Finance will issue financial clearance.
