24.11.2009 State hospitals neglected: CoD
WINDHOEK, 23 NOV (NAMPA) – Congress of Democrats (CoD)'s president Ben Ulenga alleges that State hospitals countrywide are full of cockroaches, because they are neglected by the government of the day.
“You open a packet of Panado, you find a cockroach inside. This is a sign that State hospitals countrywide are dilapidated,” Ulenga said on Sunday during his party's rally in Katutura.
He said medicines are declining at State hospitals and for every disease, whether it is high blood pressure or headaches, patients are only given Panado.
Government has failed the country's citizens, and the time of reckoning has come and that is on 27-28 November this year, he charged.
Namibians are going to vote for their future leaders on Friday and Saturday.
Ulenga thus urged Namibians to vote carefully, and to vote for CoD for free education and access to healthcare.
“The government did not allocate taxpayers’ money appropriately. Instead, they put the money in their pockets,” he alleged.
He also accused the government of failing grade 10 learners intentionally, because there are not enough spaces in grade 11.
“There are not enough classrooms in grade 11, that is why every year there are many learners who are being failed in grade 10 and sent into the streets”, he claimed.
He then appealed to people to vote for the CoD for change.
According to him, the CoD government will offer free education, free uniforms for children and free tertiary education, adding that education will be funded with taxpayers’ money.
