Absolute STUPIDITY, FOOLISHNESS.whatever you want to call it. It makes no sense to hire a firm for pennies on the dollar and promises if they cannot do the work. All this talk of how sweet this deal was and for a month we've had a looming environmental health and fire hazard right in peoples back yards. Did anyone look to see what work this company had done before they were hastily incorporated by DAVIS & Co? Right after the PLP won the election? Further it seems that Waste Not is refuting the claim that they could not match services. There's no businessman in history that would allow a contractor to fester for one whole month without providing a service they promised, effectively allowing them to "catch up". The argument that they were waiting on govt to provide fuel is ludicrous.for government to agree to provide fuel for this company when they haven't paid their electricity bill for 9months in Freeport port is CRAZY. Btw has the govt paid its BEC bill?

Delaying work for the start of new construction is a little different than delaying work on a project that has to be tended to daily. I am nit angry because it was politically motivated, I am angry because incompetence and stupidity reigns supreme

And they are "puzzled" by the criticism.

Davis sees no reason for concern simply because "this is how it is with the PLP" - their blatant corruption and continual lies really aren't your concern, so please stop putting this dishonest actions in the spotlight.

of course you can not match a deal that is not realistic. hello!!! the proof of any pudding lies in the eating. seems we are eating shXt now.

one group submitted a waste 2 energy proposal. did not even get a response, they probably forgot to send a check with the letter.

What does Renew Bahamas, BPC and Bluewater have in common. All three were granted significant government contracts, the negotiations for all three were shrouded in secrecy and all three were clients of the DPM law firm. Is that just a coincidence?

Good point. Where there is smoke there bound to be fire

You are 100% correct. The same kinds of things happened under the FNM. but something seems to be really really off with this one. When the DPM, not a party member, **the DPM** can say, if his ministers were paid more they wouldn't resort to (at minimum) ~unethical means to support themselves, something is **wrong** . There is an almost "gratuitous" display of cronyism and nepotism. They do it and almost dare someone to say something, they in fact they threaten those that do, "have to learn how the game is played or you won't last long In this business". They consistently telegraph that "they don't care where your money comes from or how you made it", give us some of it and you're in business, whether or not you can do what you promise, we really don't care. And for goodness sake don't overlook Fred Mitchell, I don't know who he believes himself to be on the world stage but he consistently shakes his fist at the US, quite unbecoming for a diplomat, a "mini Chavez". Well, he recently demanded a report from the US on the allegations of phone tapping, as a friend told me, he got his report, now *shoo fly*.

Yes this report could have been printed during the Ingraham administration as God knows things weren't perfect, you have to ask yourself why wasn't it? Is it because Ingraham was in their back pocket while PGC flies in their face? Who knows. But in an upside down nation where your chief diplomat is the most contentious man in the country, your Minister of Finance doesn't know underworld money flows can rock the foundation of a legitimate financial systems, your Minister of Labour doesn't have a clue how unemployment numbers are calculated and your Minister of Works says he knows nothing about how a hundred thousand dollar payment entered his Ministry and signs a landfill management contract with a hastily incorporated company that has the dump site overflowing within one month of them taking over. He then looks us in the eye and tells us what a good deal we struck....in that nation, maybe some outsider **with a big stick** needed to say something

It is time for this nation to grow up. The childish back room deals are no longer acceptable. Ministers doing as they please is no longer acceptable. The Bahamas is no longer a little island nation with a bunch of fishing villages, we are a nation with cites, big business, major crime, and hundreds of thousands of citizens. We can no longer afford the party old boy network, lodge loving, corruption, and crony loving governments that we have endured for far to long. It is time to level the playing field so that this Nation can become what it can be, GREAT. You crooked ass politrickans have had yor day and have become very wealthy. We as a people now say NO MORE!
