Parliament yesterday resolved that the issue of the Ministry of Health failing to deploy all medical degree holders for internship should be discussed in Cabinet.
The Deputy Speaker, Mr Thomas Tayebwa, following the submission from the Health ministry, the Attorney General and MPs, said the non-deployment of other eligible degree holders should be addressed as an urgent matter.
“I think we need to give the Minister (of Health in-charge of General Duties, Ms Anifa Kawooya) space to coordinate with the Cabinet secretariat on this matter,” Mr Tayebwa said.
“Let her take a statement to Cabinet, picking our views, on Monday, then on Tuesday, she appears before the [Parliamentary Health] Committee. So, we give the committee Tuesday and Wednesday and then on Thursday, the committee reports back on the floor,” he added.
