Georgetown – The Ministry of Health this afternoon rejects the assertions of inappropriate procurement practices by the Ministry of Health being made by the Kaieteur News in two articles, one carried as a headline, over the last two days. On Wednesday February 16th, the Kaieteur News carried a headline story stating that the New GPC outbid another supplier by $335M and in a follow-up story on February 17th, the Kaieteur News asserted that the tender for which these two companies submitted bids was never advertised.
According to subject Minister Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, both stories are false and a total misrepresentation of the truth. The Minister said “they represent either total ignorance of what took place or deliberate mischievousness on the part of Kaieteur News. I believe Kaieteur News embarked on a path of misrepresentation in these instances because they know the truth and instead of telling the stories with the truth, they sought to present them as examples of inappropriate government behavior. “
