“We cannot pardon what has happened and when I spoke with His Excellency, the President, my cry to him was that the shedding of blood on the Plateau must stop.

“I have discussed with Mr President and there are many decisions we have taken and agreed upon and I will not rest until those decisions are implemented.
“We will do everything to right the wrongs of the past and make sure that people that are in immediate need of health care will be attended to.
