He said the Health Workers who will be netted in the truck of extortion, will be arrested by Security Agencies and even Demoted.
Geoffrey Nkurunziza, the Ag. Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) called upon other Health Workers to emulate the good performance of Kitanyata and Alimugonza Health Centres in order to improve on the Immunization Coverage.
