MoH turns the tide on the year’s early ‘blues’

As early as January, Health minister, Dr Edwin Dikoloto found himself under serious pressure as he had to defend the comments he allegedly made in a leaked audio between himself and Member of Parliament for Mahalapye West, David Tshere. In the leaked telephone audio, Tshere made a call to Dikoloti telling him that residents of Mahalapye were complaining about a shortage of medication in clinics and hospitals.

Dikoloti asked Tshere to tell the relevant officers to order medication at Central Medical Stores (CMS). He also said some officers support Tshere politically and he (Tshere) must ask them to stop sabotaging Batswana.
