In what can be best described as an Undercover operation, Uganda's Minister of Health, Sarah Opendi on Friday arrested two health workers at Naguru-China Friendship Hospital for collecting bribes.

The Minister covered in Hijab and a face veil worn by Muslim women called Niqab, arrived the hospital on a commercial motorcycle called boda boda (okada in Nigeria) and went through the hospital process like any normal patient would. However, she soon confirmed her suspicions that the hospital is full of corrupt health workers.

She explained to the press: “I arrived here and disguised myself as a patient with abdominal complications. I wanted to confirm reports I have been receiving from the public that Naguru health workers ask patients to pay for free services.

“I went to the doctor who I informed me about my sickness. The doctor then recommended that I do some tests including: liver function test, diabetes and Hepatitis B.

“However, I was directed to the laboratory.” she added.

When she got to the main laboratory, Andrew Kalule, a lab technologist asked for Shs150, 000 to perform the recommended tests which are meant to be free.

“I never had all the money but I gave him Shs100, 000 and pleaded with him to allow me bring the balance when I get. He then gave me his number and name as Ssozi" explained the minister who then encountered Christine Namanda, a nursing assistant who allegedly asked for Shs5,000 in order to avail testing stripes used to diagnose diabetes.

Namanda told journalists at the time of her arrest that the testing strips were out of stock at hospital and that she wanted to go and buy them from a private clinic. However, after being searched by the police, she was found with about Shs87, 300 which she had allegedly collected from patients as bribes. The minister could easily identify the shillings she had given the nurse having kept the numbers.

The Minister indicated that the suspects would be charged to the Anti-Corruption Court.

While hijab is used for tackling some parts of corruption in Uganda,

Here in Nigeria,hijab is been almost outlawed because it is used for ..................................


FTC.......Again,I dedicate this to All Peace-loving Nigerians.

Good step, one in the right direction. Need to employed in Nigeria also, were corruption is like fuel n fire

What their Health workers collect is actually cheaper compared to what some vampires in Nigeria collect. She even arrived on a motorcycle. Thumbs up woman, atleast, you get sense pass our president Mumu-mmadu Buhari.

dedication

LOL. This can easily pass as a movie script. She did well.

Sadly our ministers in Nigeria are the definition of corruption. Infact, a good number of the government appointees are corruption personified so they lack the moral will to burst any corruption ring.
If you want to dismay, take a visit to any government parastatal and you would be shocked to the marrows. Start from the judiciary who are supposed to be pristine, a court affidavit of 150naira goes for 1k5 to 3k.
Then the Nigerian Police, that one na money for hand, yansh for ground.
Sometimes I wonder what our journalists are doing, instead of going undercover like this, they are more interested in trivialities and celebrities wannabe.
PS: Oga Seun and lalasticlala pls can we do something to protect the sanity of some of us who visit here? Can we kinda have a 'block' button in place? I shouldn't be subjected to musings and toxic opinions of half-lettered folks here. I should be able to select the audience I want, before my IQ falls to 50.

Really

....... Gbooooosaaaaa
......... gbooooooosaa

......Gbooosa

They have anti corruption courts, very nice. Services that government has provided for free, people are wicked.

Ok

Busted

The lab scientists even gave out his number.

Nice

Witch hunt

A country where they know the impact of corruption....
A country where the ministers listen to the opinion of the masses..
A country where the ministers have to witness the ill effect of corruption themselves without waiting for the committees to be set up.

Am very sorry to say....if Uganda continues like this ... in the next couple of years...Nigerians would be lobbying to get their visas like how we are lobbying for South African visas

Blessed are thou hijab as the Almighty does nothing in vain.

ok

Can't Nigerian Leaders use this concept and have a secret civil service police whose job will be to go into civil service system disguised as people seeking their service?

Africa sha.

Education, Health, Food, Security, Power and Housing remain our bane, not because we lack the required financial and human resources but because we lack love for our fellow man. And we generally lack enterprise.

One day, one day, e go beta . . (a la El Dee tha don)

I can recall how my principal will kit up with our day uniform and slide inside the junior hotel to capture those senior bullies in the night.

Same hijab is used here for adultery and mass murder.



Paradoxes of Islam

As much as I want to commend the minister, knowing Africa, this is probably a systemic, wide-spread, accepted practice, probably intended to augment their poor salaries. So singling out these two for what everybody does and is expected to do ... I dont know
