We cannot even get NAQIA accredited laboratories up and running around the country for various lab testing our requirements.
These labs are used for testing water supply samples and processed food samples for public safety. But we want to leap frog over all the other things this country needs and do drug research.
Wow!
The National Institute of Standards and Industrial Technology (NISIT) is failing and cannot handle the local calibration of weights, thermometers and other standard measurement equipment so it needs to be outsourced or referred to the private sector.
It seems we have forgotten about the necessity of this associated enabling environment and are considering paying a start up entity for drug research.
Shocking!
Letโs say goodbye to our tax money! I mean, the Government has just restructured an existing loan with BSP and given us some breathing space so that K10.2mil is possibly just loose change that fell out of the PM’s pocket while he was listening to their spiel.
I wonder if the EMTV news item, of Niugini Biomed justifying themselves, is reminiscent of how they presented to our PM? Imagine if they were rambling like that in front of the PM too? Would he still buy it, hook line and sinker, with that poor presentation?
Right thinking Papua New Guineans would say NO to the Biomed proposal in its current form and at this time.
We have other pressing priorities!
Exactly! Don’t we have OTHER pressing concerns that far outweigh this?
