OP reveals DCEC probe at BLH

The BLH and Bamalete Lutheran School of Nursing (BLSoN) employees have written a letter to the OP appealing for help from the high office, citing gross mismanagement at the institution. This follows a series of pay disputes that took place over several months last year at the hospital. The letter was also copied to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Members of Parliament, Board chairperson of the hospital, the hospital’s chief executive officer (CEO) and the BLSoN principal.

 The employees made damning allegations that included misuse of funds, fallacious audit reports, lack of promotions and poor remuneration.  “We would like to know if we are working for a proprietary limited company, as there has been a rumour that the BLH/SoN is not registered as an NGO, but is 100% funded by government. There is also a concern for the use of money in the institution. The employees suffer because of late payments due to misuse of money and poor planning by management,” read the letter in part. The employees also demanded a proper audit by a reputable company.
