how about between 50 Mio and 1000 Mio? Assuming the 50 Mio are to purchase outdated equipment and the rest goes to corrupt politicians, unions and managers. Beyond that we need about 250 Mio to clean up the oil spills and environmental screw ups and 50 Mio to purchase fuel. Suggest we increase VAT to cover for all that.

I agree! 1000 million billion!

Davis crazy. 50 million can't do anything so these numbers are absolutely meaningless. Just get the right company in to do the job correctly and have the government step away from energy except to exempt alternative energy equipment from VAT/Customs etc.

50M-500M? Gives me confidence that the plans to reduce energy costs are nearing completion. #FML - This answer means that you do not have a clue

Use some a dat funds from bamsi man!

the deal was the companies bidding were going to build ,own and operate the plant and guarantee us a reasonable rate ,,i guess the 'boys" can,t get enough unless it comes out of our treasury and burns Frankies bunker c fuel ,,for goodness sake let a foreign firm build and run it .iIN 40 YRS WE HAVE PROVEN WE CAN NOT DELIVER RELIABLE POWER AT A REASONABLE RATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It totally unfair to compare morons with these professional pirates.

Brave Davis has obviously either begun to believe his own Treasury purging fantasies or think Bahamians are REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, STUPID to make such an absolutely ludicrous statement.

Nobody anywhere can be remotely brain dead enough to accept a $50 to $500 million cost variation for anything.

This man is extremely dangerous and MUST NOT under any circumstances be intrusted with anything to do with finances of our country at any level whatsoever.

that quote of "....between $50m and $500m to overhaul the Bahamas Electricity Corporation" is dependent on how many politicians want to partake in taking monies from the project....thus the wide range of monies.....damn. Usually people, when giving quotes say "between $50M and 65M"....not "50m and 500m"! absurd! corrupt! stupid! Ignorant! Thieves!

Move over Pot cake BEC Chairman your knack stupidly crafted statements have been replaced by the DPM's.
Comrades if this statement by the DPM will not shock you, then what in hell could possibly do the job on you?
Governments are all the same mattering not colour party's t shirts. They are all same way when it comes to careless spending taxpayers hard earned monies. Any ass can draw up something and call it a budget where costs are projected range nywhere from $50 to $500 million. You couldn't possibly make this stuff up even if you hired best comedy writers money can buy?

The team from OAS government corruption watchdog group must be salivating at the mouth with the ongoing shenanigans of Bahamas government.

They must also be totally baffled as to where to start in this entrenched cesspool of decades old political corruption!

IDB and U.S. commerce & intelligence branch at the U.S. Embassy micro film labs must be busting at the seams with nefarious information on the PLP and FNM.

Mouth now bigger than his ego. This man is a complete and utter embarrassment to this country.

'sticky fingers' davis standing in front of his yella cabinet fellas:

"dis here bec ting ga cost only 50mil, but i need me one nex $50mil for my consultancy, and one next $50mil to furninsh the house i tief from dat cuban woman.

"Yo'll could split the rest, but remember to keep a couple grand to pay for some new yella t-shirts to feed them dum niggas in 2017!"

"oh and also don't forget i still wan me a raise so i dont got to be 'tempted' .... "
