Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Irfaan Ali says that the parliamentary body is looking forward to the completion of a report by the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) on the recent controversial purchase of $605m worth of drugs for the GPHC.
“We have noted that the PPC has taken the matter on board and they are investigating and have made a public expression for information from persons who want to contribute to submit to the inquiry,” Ali told Stabroek News yesterday.
“We are looking forward for the outcome of the report and to let that inform the process forward,” he added.
The PPC last week invited members of the public who had information pertaining to procurement matters at the GPHC and Ministry of Health to submit written statements to assist in the probe.
