The matter is publicly known but nothing is done to address it. A person was two days ago caught red handed going to sell the milk from Nyundo health center,\u201d she said.   <\/p>\n<p>One of employees working at Nyundo health center revealed on condition of anonymity that the case exists. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been considered a routine to sell milk for malnourished children at Nyundo health center. We tried our best to fix the problem but the health center\u2019s management are negligent leading to persistence of the problem,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The executive secretary of Nyundo sector, Tuyishime Jean Bosco said they are aware that milk meant to feed children with malnutrition is sold and one of the culprits was caught at the gate smuggling it out of the health center. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were informed that milk for children suffering from malnutrition is sold. We later apprehended a woman, one Nyirabizimana getting out the health center with milk she received from the distributor at the health center,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The mother caught red handed explained she had received the milk to take to a patient.
