Moshi Urban Member of Parliament Philemon Ndesamburo shed tears on Monday as Pasua ward women in Moshi said they often depend on light from cell phones at night when required to buy medicine from outside their clinic premises due to its lack at the health facility.
They said that is a common problem even though the clinic is equipped with a generator and the fact that there are two vans earmarked for patients transport.
After hearing the story Ndesamburo was himself seen by The Guardian on Sunday drop tears uncontrollably, a reaction that infected many women present there to start shedding tears as well.
The latter complained to their MP that at the clinic medicines were not easily available and that the staff has a bad habit of using bad language when dealing with them.
They also said they sometimes resort to bribing the staff in order to get medical service. In fact weve suffered much from this situation and we ask you to assist our ward councillor Michael Japhari (Chadema) in finding a solution to this problem, pleaded one of the women.
They said though they suffered for years appeals to authorities to improve Pasua clinic have remained fruitless. Ndesamburo was meeting his supporters, including Chadema elders, in the ward in the ward.
He promised to make a follow-up of the matter and asked his supporters to demand appropriate action from the relevant authorities to find a lasting solution to the problem.
Meanwhile, the MP said they should watch against persons bent on buying their voting cards as the country prepares for the general elections in October.
The MP said: Were keen on this and for you to be on the safe side dont sell your voter cards because you will need them to vote for the political party and candidate of your choice.
