GMOA releases 10- Point guideline to elect suitable candidate for Parliament

The Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) has requested the public to consider the 10- criterion to select the parliament representatives at the forthcoming General Election 2020.

It is mandatory to have a parliament which reinforces the main pillars of sustainable development including the health system and the bitter experience is that the so called representatives have failed to fulfill this essential requisite, it said.

Therefore, the public is of the opinion that 225 parliament representations were useless.
