Georgetown – A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance For Change are appalled at the recent revelations of senior officials, including ministers of the minority PPP government using public funds to the tune of millions of dollars for vanity medical procedures.
In a statement the collation says, “while Guyanese must suffer with a poor public healthcare system Ministers Pauline Sukhai and Jennifer Webster among others have been exposed for spending multiple millions of dollars on procedures which have not been deemed to be critical or life-saving.
At the same time that the PPP officials are hemorrhaging monies from the public coffers on their teeth and other narcissistic procedures, ordinary Guyanese who are faced with hefty medical bills are being turned away from government offices when they seek public assistance.
The levels to which the disparity between the ordinary Guyanese and this elite group of PPP ministers and their friends have reached is indeed obscene.”
APNU/AFC calls on all Guyanese to condemn this blatant abuse of the tax dollars and reject the beleaguered PPP government at the May 11 polls.
According to the newly formed alliance, a government wi;;
- adequately staff hospitals, medical centres and medical outposts with trained medical personnel
- adequately equip hospitals, medical centres and medical outposts with modern equipment
- adequately furnish hospitals, medical centres and medical outposts with medicine
- expand and enhance the regional health care system
