Why wait until National Elections to upgrade the Maternity Unit?

Mar 15, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I happened to be in the vicinity and on checking,  there was the grandiose turning of the sod event for the expansion of the Maternity Ward in Georgetown Hospital.
Then it was flipped over to a mini PPP Campaign Rally where the Minister of Health consistently harped that this project is what the PPP/C is all about.  Is it the PPP/C’s money spending on this project? Or would that be our tax dollars put together with some funding from an International Agency.  The PPP/C’s money does not go to developmental projects which would be of benefit to all Guyanese.  To the contrary – money for developmental projects,  goes to the PPP/C cabal to feather their individual nests.
Why wait for 22 odd years to upgrade the maternity unit just when they are pushed to National Elections.  The space problem has been there for ages.  As we all know, this Government came into power bearing promises.  Incidentally, those promises are still in the manifestos and must be archived.
Then in attendance there was the PPP/C’s Prime Ministerial Candidate whose presence was way off mark since it was not a Babu John event, but serious business way above her miniscule scope of political involvement.  She managed a smile or two but did not hide her candidacy for a leading role in “The Silence of Lambs”.
