The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Board has remov-ed Chief Executive Officer, Allan Johnson with effect from today, and his deputy, retired Brigadier George Lewis will act in his capacity.
The removal of Johnson as CEO of the hospital was made public by the Minis-try of Public Health yesterday though an announcement it said it received from GPHC Board Chair-man Kesaundra Alves. The statement cited excerpts from the letter of removal sent to him by the Board where it spelt out to him the reasons.
“The incident before the PAC (Public Accounts Committee of Parliament) has embarrassed the Board and staff of this Corpora-tion and, to our dismay, has caused the public to question the desire of the Board for transparency and accountability in the handling of the Corporation’s money, ” the letter states.
