Dear Editor,

I read a letter published in your letter column on 29.4.2015, written by Janet Bulkan. That letter contains the following sentence:

“Attorney General, Anil Nandlall’s medical expenses which were met by the taxpayer totalled 4.9 million dollars.”

The Head of the Presidential Secretariat clarified, publicly, that medical expenditure for a Cabinet member as well as several constitutional post holders, including, members of the Judiciary, Leader of the Opposition, inter alia, is an entitlement which predates the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Administration.

Notwithstanding, I repaid to the Accountant General of Guyana, the sum approved by Cabinet, as medical expenses in respect of me, to which the letter writer refers.

I made this information public since the latter part of 2014. Unfortunately, the misinformation continues, unabated.

I hope that this brief missive will finally set the record straight.

Yours faithfully,

Mohabir Anil Nandlall

Attorney General

Minister of Legal Affairs.

This chap's wife admitted that he took the money illegally on facebook. She admitted that when she found out she was furious and she demanded he repay the money.

If this was a legitimate expense as he is claiming why didn't Sam Hinds say that in parliament? and why was he then debating this point with Gildharie on the phone? Why was did he and his wife have to go and meet with Glen Lall if this is as he claims a standard medical expense?

What was this expense for? do other Guyanese citizens and public servants have access to this kind of medical care? Is this available to other Guyanese?
