In the same year 2019 he referred the matter to his employer Parliament who had been working with MASM to get him the best treatment locally, unfortunately the treatment was not available locally up until last year when he was finally referred to India.
However the process of getting the treatment in India only materialized at the time he was appointed as a Minister.
