Minister Whittaker must address these facts

Apr 10, 2013 Letters

 
Dear Editor,
It is amazing how the Hon. Norman Whittaker could deliver such a lengthy speech in his sleep.  It is either that or Mr. Whittaker has not visited Region One in a long time;  just enlightening the unsuspecting public.
Health Sector – Mabaruma Hospital is a glorified Health Hut which houses a wholesale depot for icicles being distributed by the wife of a senior official at the Hospital.
The freezer at the mortuary is not working.
A Power Washer purchased with Hospital funds is now in the hands of an associate of the same senior official at the hospital; there is so much talk about nepotism – whose wife supplies greens etc to the Mabaruma Hospital?
Oxygen for the Hospital is being purchased one cylinder at a time and shipped in via aircraft rather than on the Government steamer. (Weight?)
Education Sector – When will the Mabaruma Secondary school building be completed?  The Contractor is off on another contract and is successfully playing the dog in the manger game.  Of course this is allowed in Region 1. He will still be paid in full even if the school is not completed in the next ten years;
What about the number of suicide cases involving school aged children?  Minister Whittaker did not mention that his Administration is looking into that scenario.
There is more but I wait for the Hon Minister’s next sleep talking episode in Parliament.
