Why does Mr. Miller need to report him to the police...that comment was made and printed in a newspaper article, it is public record, the police should be able to act on it of their own accord despite what Mr. Miller says. Sure...report him anyways, but the police MUST take some initiative here without being FORCED to deal with something because someone finally made enough noise about it that they needed to get up off their posterior and do something.

Agreed, I think the Commissioner should take this opportunity to make a statement about deliberate damage to government property and the consequences. But again they need to start taking initiatives without public outrage preceding them, they need to start standing on principal.

You are wrong. The police always say "nobody has filed a complaint" whenever anythings happens. Somebody has to physically go in and sign a complaint form for them to act on.

why wasnt miller reported to the police for standing on his feet in parliament and saying he is a lawbreaker because he buys numbers from the numbers houses?

because you have to pay the po-po under the table to get anything done

He should not have made that statement or the statement accusing someone of the murder if his son. That said, they are exempt from prosecution for any statement made in the House.

And this illustrates exactly why nothing can ever get rectified in this country:
The Government agreed to these "bonuses" in the first place,
just like they allowed Salary assignments in excess of 75% of salary,
Just like they agreed to make 100% of NIB contributions for employees,
One can go on and on with all that has been done wrong,
with very little done right.
Clawing back good governance on behalf of the Bahamian people is an imperative,
throwing out new taxes and pillaging the people who work and produce is punishing
the wrong people,
and rewarding those who expect entitlements.

AMEN!!

You said a mouth full there Oracle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both the gold and red shirt governments are equally as guilty of damaging the consumer economy when it comes to allowing economic slavery to blossom via 'salary assignments" of government workers. No government should be acting as a form of guarantor of financial obligations entered into by government workers. Challenged in court, unlikely it would stand up in favor of the lenders.

The problem with thieves and dishonest people is that they are also selfish. They never sit and ponder the widespread or long term consequences of their actions. Some of the people involved with the various scams at BEC had become so caught up in the game, there was a competition going on to see who could earn the most money in overtime, disconnections and the like, side money. Some of the middle level people were living double lives, taking care the wife and the sweetheart(s). Seems like if Mr. Leslie Miller did not intervene when he did, these guys were going to take BEC into the ground and leave the Bahamas in the dark. GREED had them blinded to the future.

I agree. I heard that the guys would intentionally damage equipment to justify overtime. Leslie Miller is taking a stand. Someone needs to. PM is not doing his job.

When the next government is voted in, the cycle of BS and skullduggery will continue as always.

As long as number house is open then it is ok to buy numbers.

I am going to apply for a job at BEC and join the union. They have it madeeee. I don't even want to go out in the field. I only want to answer the phone or somethin'. After the first year, I'm gonna be sick for a month and I want my salary and my NIB contributions because I want to take my whole family to Paris when I'm well again. This is the lifeeee....lolol

no, come to Holland. lol

The Government should sell BEC and ship all the equipment including generators, transformers, switches, computers and the whole lot to another country (like Dominica or Honduras or somewhere) - I mean physically ship them out.

Then give ALL the money proceeds from the sale to be equally divided among ALL the BEC workers.

Then it will all be over with. They will have gotten everything that is gottable (new word) - and they along with the rest of us can start burning lamp - and then figure out some other way that we can be even more stupid in the future.

The airports and hotels can run on generator - if not, they can just close.

Oh its all just too sad - and still the people suffer!

and the battle of the egos continues
