Health workers’ pay rise on hold as TMO ensures correct payouts

Mr Williams once again lies to TMO staff. I was present when the SoH stated pay increses would be in accounts in a week or two. Mr Williams lied to Ambulance 18 months ago when he stated , pay increses would be in you account next pay. The cost of overseas travel by the SoH and the MoH, for purposes that do not assist the people of the Cook Islands would have paid the promised increase. What would the $1.6 Million spent on 25 cars for VIP's for a week done to assist TMO staff. Which MP's will be given the cars when the forum is over? What is the cost of the infrastructure required to charge and maintain these vehicles? Is it a pure coinsident that the MoH current uses the same type of car? The SOH, MoH and senior management continue to lie about service provision to not only the people of the Cook Islands, the TMO staff and visitors regarding the EMS service provision. It is not what the state in writing, websites , NZ , japan, and Australian governments. The Prime Minister , MoH or the SoH should be, off the top of their heads be able to explain how the $5 million provided by the people of Japan was spent. How was this spent? How will the PM, MoH and SoH explian to the various attendees that money provided to the Cook Islands government and therefore the people is spent on other that overseas trips, expense accounts, new vehicles all at the cost of those that live and work in the Islands? P.S. these and many more questions have been raised with the various forgien affairs officials in the Countries stated.
