New GPC gets lion’s share of US$185M spent on drugs since Jagdeo took office

New GPC, which was purchased from Government by former President, Bharrat Jagdeo’s best friend, Dr Ranjisinghi ‘Bobby’ Ramroop’s Queens Atlantic Investment Inc (QAII) would have been handed the lion’s share of the $37.4B that Government would have spent over the years in drugs and medical supplies.

Of that $37.4B just over $5B is earmarked for spending this year. During the recent Budget debates, Minister of Health, Dr Bheri Ramsaran responding to a question from the opposition benches, confirmed that this year New GPC will get the largest slice of that allocation.
This occurs despite New GPC being flagged over the years by the Office of the Auditor General over several discrepancies including the late supply of drugs despite advance payments.
