The CDC’s Grand Kru County Senator described as double punishment to the population of the country the acts by the Ministry of Finance Ministry to reduce budget allotted to the Ministry of health and health institutions in the country. Monrovia – Senator Peter Coleman (CDC-Grand Kru County) is recommending a halt in the ongoing stimulus package food distribution in a bid to save money and redirect funds to the operational budget of the Ministry of Health. The Grand Kru lawmaker recommendation was based on the discovery that the budget of the Ministry of Health was reduced to fund the stimulus package. “Right now, no one is dying of starvation since the food distribution is still ongoing, we need to stop it and take the balance money and restore it back to the Health Ministry budget. The Committee, along with the WFP had been invited by the House to give updates on the food distribution exercise.
