Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi demands four investigations following a report by the Globe and Mail alleging widespread corruption within the United Conservative Party (UCP) government, including inflated contracts for private surgery providers and the firing of former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos for attempting to investigate.
Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi is demanding four separate investigations following a bombshell report by the Globe and Mail. The report details a letter from the lawyer of former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos , which makes explosive allegations of widespread corruption against the United Conservative Party ( UCP ) government.
The letter claims that the UCP engaged in various corrupt practices, including inflating contracts awarded to private surgery providers, creating conflicts of interest, and ultimately terminating Mentzelopoulos's employment because she attempted to uncover these improprieties. Nenshi, in response to these serious accusations, has called for a thorough examination of the matter.He is urging investigations into the alleged contract inflation, the conflicts of interest raised by Mentzelopoulos's lawyer, the circumstances surrounding her dismissal, and the broader implications of these accusations for the UCP government. The demands for investigations come as the province grapples with ongoing concerns about transparency and accountability within the healthcare system
