No point preaching to us about the CRC

Why are we being preached to about the CRC?

Ever since the surfacing of revelations that donated money was being used for topline bonuses at the Central Remedial Clinic, there have been many commentators preaching about the good work done by their frontline services.

I don’t think I have heard one person question that fact.

We also heard of the diminished funds raised at Christmas for the clinic, and as sad as that is for the frontline providers, we don’t need a lecture about the need for donations. If you heard that such payments were being made to high end officials in a foreign nation we were sending aid to, the country would be in uproar to get the Government to withhold funding. And wouldn’t that be a fair assessment by people?

We are all aware of the hard work being done by charity providers all over the world, and in the CRC, but when our money goes to the payment of a chairperson, we are all entitled to hold onto it, and should not be made to feel guilty about it.

When the money goes solely to the frontline we will all donate to the frontline.
