Procurement commission denies internal strife over probe into GPHC’s $632M drug purchases

The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) has refuted reports that any individual member led the recently concluded investigation of the procurement of emergency drugs by the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).

“The commission works in a collaborative manner, which affords all members equal opportunity to participate fully in its work…,” the PPC said in a letter to the editor that was published in Tuesday’s Stabroek News, while adding that this is exactly what transpired in the recently concluded investigation.

Stabroek News had reported that the report on the investigation was submitted to Parliament without the input of Sukrishnalall Pasha, the member who had led the investigative work.
