There must be a mechanism to monitor and control health officials too.
Otherwise this will end-up as another SOURCE OF INCOME for health officials.Konde Bendapuchhena Monday, 13 June 2011 12:18 PM

there are few disagree with your comment. are they health officials?
LOL Tuesday, 14 June 2011 02:32 AM
so what about smoking and drinking in public places? vehicles making big noises in front of hospital areas, people who is responsible (MC) to collect garbage but not to do it within the time, if you don't pay the fixed amount monthly, they wont come and collect for a week, people who is responsible to clean the small canel but not doing their jobs regularly, people who is responsible to clean the garbage lorries/containers but not doing, etc etc.. lots to list down...those are not affecting the public's health?

Yes Yes, certainly there must be a mechanism to monitor and control health officials too because even DTT is being sold by some. Once they walk into the garden with the Gaz gun, some want things they find there. They come later and take it. We spend thousands and get companies to do landscaping and even if neat, some officials interpret it as " Kaley gus" and tell us to destroy them.
