Speaking to NTV on Saturday, March 2, Nakhumicha said the police fired the teargas canister that injured Atellah by accident.
According to the Heath CS, the police only intended to disperse the protesting medical officers and not to harm anybody.

But by bad luck, it hit him on the head. The is no reason to worry. They are safe. Even he is a doctor, and he is safe,” Nakhumicha said.
At that same time, Nakhumicah said the issues being raised by the medical practitioners are beyond her control, insisting that the ball lies with the National Treasury.
