According to the Pratt, the multiple falsehoods being peddled by government officials suggests there is a ‘godfather’ behind the scenes who is being protected.

The latter, who is a retired superintendent of police, commended the President stressing that the appointment of COP Dampare merited collective applause. Toobu added that the appointment “came at the right time," but also he expressed a personal worry relative to the specific designation of Dampare as an Acting IGP. "I want to congratulate the new acting IGP for picking up the mantle, but he must lace his boots to the daunting task ahead. I believe this time around the President got it right in appointing COP Dampare to act as the new acting IGP," he added.

This article, therefore, looks forward to sensitizing parents and guardians on the existence of neurocognitive sequelae following cerebral malaria and the need to seek immediate medical care during its prodromal stage.
