Health and Wellness Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton strongly refuted allegations of corruption in the procurement of medical equipment, calling the Opposition's claims misleading and politically motivated.
He responded specifically to remarks by Opposition spokesman on health, Dr. Alfred Dawes, who accused the government of purchasing overpriced machinery from China, characterizing it as a "rapacious form of capitalism."
Dr. Tufton criticized these claims as "rather sad," emphasizing that his intended update on healthcare developments in his constituency speech was interrupted by the need to address the accusations raised in Dr. Dawes' recent news conference.
This exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the Government and Opposition over public sector procurement practices and health sector management, with both sides engaging in pointed criticism over the issue.
