Dear Minister of Health

We the Murowa Ward community under Zvishavane write to your Vice President in your capacity as the Minister of Health. Nurses at Murowa Rural Clinic are diverting drugs and medication for resale onto the black market.

The drugs range from general pain killers, classified drugs and family planning medication. Right now there is no medication even a simple painkiller but they are readily available at a shop just a few meters from the clinic.

This scandalous practice whereby nurses steal drugs from the clinic and sell them using front men has been going on for a long time. The practice is rampant and so glaring obvious such that the local ward Councillor was seen buying drugs from one of the front men who operates a shop that sells clothes and fix tyres.

We really wonder if the Councillor is part of the cartel but the bottom line is he is very much aware of this malpractice.

We therefore seek your immediate action Vice President, these nurses together with their front men must be arrested. These are very dangerous people who don’t deserve to be anywhere near public institutions save for prisons.

Hundreds of poor villagers have died due to lack of medication as they can’t afford to buy same from the black market. Maybe we are cursed as a community because even drought relief grain and government sponsored agricultural inputs are being sold to us as we are forced to pay huge amounts in forex.

We trust you will come to our rescue Vice President.
