        Medical personnels are 100% right to strike coz the govt wastes a lot of money on useless stuff instead of paying important people like medics

        @adoniaayebare Selective memory! Low pay and lack of equipment have been in Uganda since the time of independence. Nothing to see here, and stop questioning Uganda's stellar achievements😀
