Omar Davies Bundles In The Jamaican Government Again

Omar Davies, Minister of Finance bundles the Jamaican government ball again. Minister Davies felt the intense pressure from Jamaican public sector workers unions representing just over 67,000 public sector workers within the Jamaican governments Finance and Planning Ministry. Minister Davies purportedly said that the selection process was “flawed” and that more than $2 billion already spent in the Jamaican Government Employees Administrative Services Only otherwise called GEASO Health Scheme will have to goes back to tender for a third time running. Another Blunder by Minister Davies the wishful and woefully Jamaican Government

Prime Minister hopeful. This tends to lend strong doubt as to the transparency of the Jamaican government and the Contractor General Greg Christie, despite vehemently insisting that the National Contracts Commission's (NCC) endorsements were done with probity and transparency, President of the Jamaica Teachers' Association, Mr. Hopeton Henry, cited that Dr. Omar Davies admitted that the process of choosing some one to administer the Jamaican government workers health scheme was skewed. When will these people become accountable for wasting taxpayers’ money? Not to cast all the blame on the Minister, he gave insight that the LoJ (Life of Jamaica) to deliver Jamaican government health service to the public sector was flawed. Despite this major blunder the committee has decided to continue to allow Blue Cross to continue to provide health coverage to public sector workers. This we can definitely question the collective wisdom of the committee. After admitting that the choice was FLAWED. The Contractor General Christie has hit out against the former Jamaican government Health Minister John Junor for publicly speaking out against the legality of publishing the National Contracts Commissions endorsement of Life of Jamaica before Jamaican government Cabinet approval of a new health scheme administrator. A war of words has since ensued between these two gentlemen, who waste the taxpayers’ money writing letters of much ado about nothing.
