A brewing internal conflict within the Ministry of Health has been reported, with sources from within the ministry revealing that a cold war is underway as officials vie for the prestigious position of Health Ministry Secretary.
The sources have disclosed that the root cause of this ongoing power struggle is the impending end of the current Secretary’s term, which is set to conclude on the 1st of the coming year.
Insiders also claim that, in an attempt to thwart the appointment qualified candidates for the Secretary of Health position, smear campaigns and the spread of fabricated news have been initiated by certain individuals within the ministry.
It’s important to note that the Minister of Health holds the authority to appoint or remove the ministry’s secretary, a prerogative that is expected to play a pivotal role in resolving this internal tussle.
