In answering to the fact that Mr. Dumas finds it incredible that we have such an arrangement whereby public servants can get loans from the consolidate fund, Mr Monrose missed the point the commissioner was making.
What is to say a low level operative in the civil service, acting in cahoots with a crooked medical practioner cannot rip off the people of St. Lucia for hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Such a person's small salary, pension, and gratuity can never compensate for the loss.
Unless it is made a criminal offence to abscond with the people's money, no amount of "procedures" can prevent that.
We must guard the people's money against all such unintended consequences. This practice should be reviewed or even discontinued.
Government, financial institutions, N.I.S., private sector, and civil society should come up with a better working solution for the funding and finacing of such costly medical emergencies.
Perhaps the establishment of a medical emergency fund might be one way to address it.
Matters of who qualifies, under what terms and conditions, who contributes and how much, etc. can all be spelt out.
I trust no government minister be it SLP or labour. All of them are damn crooked thieves. No conscience people who would steal from the public purse with impunity and then find excuses to justify the theft.
