Dr. Bota is not speaking from speculation. She is a trained medical doctor with extensive experience in clinical practice and public health research.

Well on Wednesday the minister of Finance is proposing a supplementary budget and i have just perused through the proposed supplementary budget and i focused myself on the proposed supplementary allocation to the ministry of Home Affairs.

I wish to urge you to start calling out your Minister of Home Affairs and Finance as well as your superiors to ensure that as the Minister presents the supplementary budget you are included, remember i can only do so much to fight for you.
