And so it goes on and on. The bizarre government spending on unnecessary toys while health needs require funding. Please add the cost of the vehicles charging stations installation. What did the Minister of Health use to charge the electric vehicle she drove prior to the purchase of the current ones? What a coincidence the the Minister of Healths vehicle is the same make and model of the new ones. Will the Minister get a new, new one? Will the SOH get a new electric vehicle to replace the near new one already provided to him?
