The Ministry of Health (MOH) was in 2010 unable to provide receipts to prove that it collected $30M worth of drugs and medical supplies from New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation Inc. (New GPC).

Also, in 2010, the outstanding balance of 222.526M for 2008 and 2009 was still to be reconciled by the Ministry.
These issues were all stated in the Auditor General (AG)’s report and are set to be brought up before the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) come Monday.
Auditor General, Deodat Sharma, stated in his 2010 annual report, “The Ministry failed to provide evidence of receipt of drugs and medical supplies to the value of $30.909M purchased from New GPC in 2010. Also, the outstanding balance for the years 2008 to 2009 of 222.526M is still to be reconciled by the Ministry.”

this is old news,same news,guyana news

This is not old news, this also happen in 2012 and worst.

The sad part is that we had a majority opposition and it still happening.

Rev Al said   - MILK and Honey and he is right.

The PPP is constantly looking for new ways to rob the country of its wealth. Every project is a massive scam.

Jealous?

Is that your excuse for being part of a corrupt regime? Thieves and murderers reign freely in Guyana, including in the government. To accept that and ask if anyone is jealous just goes to show how ignorant the thieves have become of the moral values. Or how much a waste of time it is for citizens to pay taxes.
