It is a pity he is gone. I am a bit concerned about the WhatsApp saga that happened during the week. I was going to ask him, obviously not to declare his candidature or otherwise here, but to give a guarantee that the leadership contest, irrespective of whether he is involved, will not affect his dealings with the Department of Health. Hopefully, he can answer that when he comes back.
