They also arrested those four staff over neglecting their duties which gave the cleaner chance to steal drugs.

 

According to Rogers Taitika the Elgon region police spokesperson, the two did make a statement and were released on police bond but the suspect is still inside.

He says they want the three to go back and work at the health center since the health center has remained with no staff yet people want services.
