Health Ministry responds to “Concerned Guyanese”
Dear Editor,
Reference is made to the letter published under the caption, “Why was this official reinstated?” which appeared on page 5, in the June 23rd, 2013 edition of the Kaieteur News.
Firstly, I wish to fervently refute the claims purported in this letter which expressed that the Director of the Materials Management Unit of the Ministry of Health was fired.
Permit me to state that the Director of the Materials Management Unit was never fired; rather, the Ministry of Health took an administrative decision for the said Director to temporarily hand over responsibilities to the Warehouse Manager, until the operational management was reviewed by the Public Service Ministry. Moreover, it must be emphasized that this individual has never been accused of “gross inappropriate dealings with Government’s business,” as declared in the letter.
It must now be made known that the Public Service Ministry has completed their review and new operational mechanisms are in place. Henceforth, the Director of the Materials Management Unit, Ministry of Health has resumed full responsibilities of the position.
Further, I wish to convey my great dissatisfaction that the Kaieteur News did not contact the Ministry of Health for clarification on this matter before printing this publication.
Leslie Adolphus Cadogan
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health
