"Please hide ID and post this for public opinion. Why is it that our leaders seem to be focused much on one department of its civil service workers. The teachers. What about those corrupt nurses like the one at Unyetu Clinic in Chivhu, Mashonaland East. He demands money from patients and pockets the money himself. No receipt is given. If you plead with him that you don't have money he makes sure that you don't get medication and if you do he makes sure that you will pay.

Its not that I am saying people should not pay, but why into an individual's pocket when the money is supposed to be receipted and go to council?

If the responsible authorities have access to this message they must investigate and find out for themselves.

The man goes about boasting about it. Hanzi tisu maZanu PF acho vanotiitei. Nyika ndeyedu. Is this right?

Even those on ART are asked to pay to collect their medications. My question is is it now council policy or government policy that PLWHA are now paying to get the drugs?

Is it also council or government policy that patient pay but there is no receipt given?

Initially we knew that when you pay the money is receipted by the nurse aide who is always there.

The name of this man is [name supplied].

People are now afraid of visiting the clinic when they fall sick. Now what about those on ART who knew that when their date is due they would just go and collect their medications?

Remember people in the rural areas are already suffering to get a dollar for chigayo.

This man is on the government payroll but is stretching his hand into the poor people's pockets again. Is this fair?

Dai tabatsirwawo tatambudzwa nevanhu vanongofamba vachinyepa kuti ma war vet.

Iyo nyika yacho ndiko kusunuguka kwayo here ikoku?

CORDAID yakauya ichiti madzimai akazvitakura nevana vari pasi pemakore mashanu vasabhadhare ku clinic asi na[name supplied] hanzi hakuna zvakadaro.

Kanzuru yeChikomba kuChivhu uko tibatsireiwo tizive chokwadi. Tinorwadziwa nekupa munhu mumwechete mari dzatinenge tatambura."
