In its haste to save the country a few million dollars a month, the government single sourced a contract to store pharmaceuticals under the Ministry of Public Health and while the company’s name was revealed, Minister of Public Health Dr George Norton would not provide the names of its principals or the duration of the contract.

According to Norton, government was paying the New GPC $19.2 million a month to store the pharmaceuticals and wanted a cheaper facility. He later said that with the “exorbitant price called by the New GPC” there was an urgency to find a new storage facility.

This photo of the Linden Holding Company’s drug storage bond on Sussex Street was circulated by the Opposition last night.

The government now pays the new rental company, registered as Linden Holding Company, $12.5 million a month and according to the minister there was no public tendering because it “was an emergency” He said the company’s facility was PAHO/WHO approved, but no certification was given by the named international agency since that is not its mandate.


 

This outright stealing is the building worth that amount rental ??

Yes that is equivalent to US $60,000.mthly

Na tek worries. Many of y'all who supported the AFC will cry blood, it is only just over a year.

This is massive corruption as the PNC take up Grainjaw on his the "clock is ticking" call. Fill all you pockets.

Nothing will come out of this. SARU is busy harassing and intimidating Indos and Loud Mouth Moses and Ramjattan have been slapped so hard by Harmun that they have forgotten their big talks about fighting corruption.

This is just the tip of the PNC iceberg. More to come. The "clock is ticking"

Quote from the full article:

"Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira wanted the minister to say whether one Larry Singh was behind the company and if the company was located in the “Side Walk Café;” he neither confirmed nor denied this. The building that once housed the Side Walk Café is owned by Minister of Public Telecommunication Cathy Hughes and Norton had earlier said that the ministry was dealing with a company and not an individual."

Remember this folks.

This is the flip side of the coin. I think the bonds used by Bobby were built with government dollars. The APNU need to look into the bonds they already own. However, if they are using alternative to their own then it is to do as the PPP did, line their pockets.

Larry Singh!!  Who is this guy?

Larry Singh has been with the PNC a long time. Before 1992 he operated an airline that serviced the Guyana-New York route. When Hamilton Green was Prime Minister, Larry paid the cost of publishing Hammie's memoir "FROM PAIN TO PEACE".

Where or rather how you came to conclude that I agree with this thievery? Your memory is short. There was already a contestant of paying Bobby to house government pharmaceutical purchases when he housed them in government bonds.  That they now went into using other sites than what the government build for these purposes mean they are stealing.
