"I said, if it really needs to be moved, move it then. Because the health center is for public service. This will be part of our evaluation," he asserted.
He also mentioned that he and the Governor divided the tasks to survey the flood locations on the same day.
"Because this time the flood was quite widespread. He (Mr. Governor) inspected the northern and western areas," he said.
