Two health workers attached to Muyembe health center IV in Bulambuli district have today 3rd June 2022 been arrested for joining the rest of their colleagues in a country wide sit down strike.
The two identified as Base, the In Charge and a one Nurse only identified as Jonathan were arrested by the Deputy RDC Mbulambuli, Amir Kamba.
They were later released on police bond.
The two were arrested after Amir Kamba pretended and dressed as a patient with malaria seeking medication at the facility and was turned away together with other patients.
While speaking to our reporter today, Kamba says that he been receiving complaints from the public about the strike of health workers in the facility but when he asked Base the in charge, she dismissed the allegations saying that they were working as usual.
He adds that he pretended as a patient that’s when the health worker he found on duty known as Jonathan refused to work on him by telling him to go back with other patients.
Kamba also says that he arrested him with the in charge immediately and called police to come and pick them but later was bonded out.
Prime Minister Robina Nabbanja last week lashed out at striking health care workers, and said the government is sick and tired of working under immense pressure from civil servants.
