Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan has been presented with more questions in relation to nearly $632 million in emergency drug purchases for the Georgetown Public Hos-pital Corporation (GPHC).
Those answers are expected to be provided at today’s sitting of Parlia-ment.
Opposition Member of Parliament Juan Edghill has asked Jordan to explain how GPHC was able to purchase $605,962,200 of “emergency pharmaceutical supplies” through sole sourcing if their request for a waiver of the Procurement Act ( S 28C) was denied.
Jordan in his response to Notice Paper 101, tabled on July 7th, 2017, had advised the House in writing that the request, by GPHC for a waiver was not approved by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB).
