​”​But certainly, the revelation by the wife of Mr. President is quite unsettling and I have called the Managing Director of the hospital.
 
​​The hospital is not under me but under the Presidency, but as the minister of health, I intervened and I will be visiting the facility to have firsthand knowledge of his challenges.
 
​I don’t want to make any pronouncements until I have been there and till I hear his side of the story.​
