He stressed that apart from the construction of CHPs Compound, the Health Insurance funds will be used for other health related issues like the construction of water projects, toilet facilities and others hence he will engage his council of elders to deliberate on the community to benefit from the released funds apart from the existing communities and projects underway.
The Member of Parliament when asked to applaud the president for releasing the funds in this difficult economic times said the president doesn’t deserve any appreciation because he has delayed the payment of the funds for longer periods which is obligatory in the Constitution to be paid on time.

He pleaded with the majority group in Parliament to support the minority group to release the finance minister off post by vote of censure to replace him with competent minister who can handle the financial affairs of the country to victory.
