Opposition leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said that he saw nothing wrong with a member of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) making public a dissenting view on the investigation of the $632 million in emergency drug purchases for the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
Jagdeo’s position came after the state-owned Guyana Chronicle reported that a minority report by PPC member Sukrishnalall Pasha is expected to be submitted to the National Assembly in addition to the report prepared by the PPC on the investigation.
“I have seen the Chronicle report that there are different views on the matter [and] I hope that we get copies soon. But I saw a strange view that there can’t be minority reports. In the [Caribbean Court of Justice] and at the Court of Appeal, you can have a minority report; a dissenting view. I don’t see anything special about this commission, if any member believes that the commission did not take their view seriously into consideration,” Jagdeo told a press conference yesterday.
