  5. Ngoma amaitha yomenyera nkhondo ma nurse. Koma lately anaoneka kuti was becoming more political than advocate. And surely turned to politics. Now ndale zamulaka akubweranso ku ma nurse. Take note Ngoma, don’t fight govt. Help govt make better decisions that your ideas. Don’t give govt ultimatums, they derail progress. If you continue your ridicules, you will fall like chanika. Nurses council is not a human right body. Take that in your head.
