I beg to differ. There's a clear case of negligence of duty and the MPs reaction is what we've failed to do all these years. If this statement has been made before the investigation, I would have agreed with you. If you think ...

A typical NDC buffoon of an MP. Such an idiot has been elected to represent his constituency.
Have there been very serious looks towards why the Medical Professionals could not help the patient? My concerns are if there were not available places to accommodate the patient and attend to him, why blame the Medical Profe ...

The fact is that NDC does not know how to talk sense and communicate reasonably to the citizenry
I agree. Medical negligence has caused so many deaths in this country. That man needed just blood or an IV to stabilize him. Negligent doctors have been shielded for far too long in this country. It is time they face the musi ...

Another NDC fool
@Truth Stands, what has the MP said that is insulting. All he said was that ,if you can no longer do the work resign. Is this not truth enough.
It was not appropriate and respectful for the MP to speak out like he reasons from his anus. As an MP, he should exercise respect, diplomacy and wisdom. Some of our Medical Professionals have not been trained to take care of ...

This MP is headless. He talked by-heart. Is it because many of them seek medical treatment abroad like Bagbin did at the expense of the taxpayers? These NDC MPs are just assholes.
