My country is indeed an admirable place to live because of the things that continue to happen there on a daily basis.
If it’s not about blackout, water shortage, lack of drugs in hospitals, it will be about examination malpractices or corruption in public institutions.
This is why Parrot has not bothered himself again because despite his efforts to unearth these vices that are responsible for the retrogression of this small impoverished nation, though with excess natural endowments, the struggle continues because the law is blind to those who are responsible for the deliberate destruction of this republic.
The latest negative and disgusting news Bra Parrot has received is about the National Medical Supplies Agency (NMSA) one of the vital state institutions.
When the bird visited the institution to crosscheck the information he has, he was reliably informed by some aggrieved workers that, some senior management staff used to flout the office procedures with impunity.
As per office procedure, according to them, when the head particularly the Director is on leave, the Deputy Director or any senior director is expected to be in charge of the day-to-day running of the Agency until the former resumes.
The bird was told that, the last time the Managing Director of the Agency was on leave, she reportedly convinced the board to allow her to bring the Chief Pharmacist of the Directorate of Pharmaceutical Services to act in her position until she resumes in June this year.
This is indeed a sad situation. To the nationalistic senior citizen of this republic, this development is not only nepotism but a real naked corruption.
Worst still, the Parrot was also told that, the Board Chairman of that agency, Alhaji Murtada Sesay has been under scrutiny and that in fact, this is not the first time to be come under serious pressure for related acts.
According to information, Md. Jattu Abdulia allegedly connived with the board to bring someone to act as Director of Operations who according to reliable source is not a staff member of that institution.
From all indications it seems that the NMSA is allegedly single handedly run by Md. Jattu Abdulai with help from few board members. Nor to me say ooh!
The bird has gathered that, the board is also under serious questioning for allowing such gross Administrative abuses.
Meanwhile, when the Parrot went out to contact Md. MD on her cell phone number 078-626502 to get her own side of the story, it all ended in vain.
But be rest assured, the patient bird will continue to follow up this matter with keen interest.
