And the PUP had a whole lot to say about the KHMH. Yesterday the party put out a 500 word press release. The opposition claims, quote, "the Government of Belize and the Ministry of Health (allowed) the KHMH to have deteriorated to the point where the management authority has been advised to evacuate all persons in order to carry out critical repairs." Now, we stress, the CEO says there has been no order to evacuate.
And the PUP also says, the condition of the roof at the KHMH has been documented in the minutes of many Board meetings going back to 2008. Again, the CEO says the leaky roof has nothing to do with the current structural failure.
Today, at a press conference, the PUP leadership said that the UDP Government wasted Petrocaribe funds on political partying - when it should have spent it on this key area of need at the KHMH:...
Hon. John Briceno, P.U.P. Leader
"They knew, the government knew that they had to fix it. They knew that there was a structural problem and they gone to bacchanal, they had a big party with the Petrocaribe money and use it for political patronage and giving out contracts to UDP cronies. They have enriched a few UDP operatives who have become multimillionaires, yet the number one health institution of this country, probably the only hospital that provides what they call tertiary services in the country has been neglected."
