Opposition Parties a no-show as…

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar met yesterday with representatives of sectors including, diplomats, security, aviation, medical, private sector, umbrella religious groups, non-governmental organisations, trade union bodies, and civil society to discuss Guyana’s preparedness for any possible Ebola outbreak. Despite invitations, representatives of parliamentary opposition political parties failed to attend the meeting at the Presidential Complex, which attracted over 100 stakeholders.


The meeting was the latest in a series aimed at informing officials of recent developments, and possible challenges that may arise within sectors in dealing with any possible cases. Stakeholders were also advised about various aspects of the disease, and measures being taken locally by Health Minister Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Shamdeo Persaud. These included the facilities that have been, and are being prepared for the quarantining of suspected victims of Ebola at official ports of entry, such as the Cheddi Jagan International and Ogle Airports.


The Health Ministry has trained more than 1,600 persons to deal with any suspected cases of the disease. Health care facilities are also being prepared to handle suspected cases, he added along with the procurement of protective gear and medical supplies. In cases of the latter, international support from agencies such the Pan American Health Organisation and the World Health Organisation it is anticipated would provide the necessary support on a case by case basis, to boost the capabilities of Caribbean member states as needed to respond to suspected cases.


About 5,000 people have already died from the disease, with thousands of other cases being reported according to the WHO.


In the region, several Caribbean nations have instituted travel restrictions, including St Vincent, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, and more recently Australia. -- (GINA)

Maybe Ebola is Africa's way of dealing wid the kulie government that has no respect for good goverance towards Black folks. One thing about this virus, it would certainly keep government officials from travelling abroad.

 

Maybe, it is a plague for the PPP. Just as a Biblical Moses keep going and asking Pharoh to let the people go. So, also is Mr. Granger-as he continually beseeches Ramotar to let the people have Local Government Elections. Doan surprise me, if I hearing how the PPP top dogs start dying like flies. Freeness and thiefing has its judgements.

The PPP's threatening to kill citizens summarily must be taken seriously. Nandalalala baba must go.

A thought by a few ... but the PPP/C will again be voted to form the government at a free and fair election.
