Asked to explain how the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) was able to purchase over $605 million in emergency pharmaceutical supplies through sole sourcing if its request for a waiver of the Procurement Act was denied, Finance Minister Winston Jordan last Friday told the National Assembly that he could not explain.
He indicated that GPHC is an autonomous body, which receives a subvention from government via the Consolidated Fund and he could not account for its expenditure.
Jordan was at the time responding to questions laid in the House by PPP/C member Juan Edghill.
