Quote:source close to another Permanent Secretary said that her boss "was very upset" on returning from National Heroes Circle. The Permanent Secretary, the source said, was angry about suggestions made about overspending in her office.Speculation about the content of Dr. Davies' address to the Permanent Secretaries has been augmented by the recent public revelations of serious Government indebtedness.In recent months it has come to light that the security forces, under the aegis of the Ministry of National Security, owe suppliers more than $500 million for goods and services. At the same time Grace Allen-Young, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, has revealed that her ministry owes $3 billion to its suppliers, and Robert Pickersgill, the Minister of Transport, has admitted to his ministry owing contractors almost $500 million as well.The Finance Ministry is also grappling with a $12 billion debt, owed under the deferred financing programme - payable over several years - and a $8.5 billion arbitration award to the National Transport Co-operative Society, which it is now challenging in court.
