Malulu Injendi (Malava), the vice chair of the committee, questioned the commission earlier in the day about why teachers are required to pay when they visit hospitals despite having medical insurance.
“Why are teachers required to pay some fees when they seek medical care?” Hon. Malulu questioned, “Why should they pay?”
