BEC is not "broke" it was "broken".

bec aint just get broke. they lie so much now he have to back track. they were never going to puchase no generators that was done to appease the public when they could not keep the power on. another waste of money send a " team " to assess the engines

Mr. Miller,

Since the government was supposed to be actively selling this blood-sucking corporation, why would BEC buy new generators??? When one is selling a business, you don't upgrade the equipment just before the sale!!!

It is no secret that BEC is broke -- with successive governments' mismanagement and inefficiency, and those close to the government not paying their bills, what the heck did you expect??? The cookie jar is empty and scrapping at crumbs!!!

Sell the bloody thing so that some competent management can be restored so that average Bahamians don't have to pay a monthly mortgage payment to BEC and actually ENJOY their existence before they die!!!!

I'm not sure selling it will necessarily bring in more competent management. Look at BTC for example, unbelievably they got worse (much worse) after new management came in. BEC's management is bad (terrible in fact) but the new guys may be worse. Sad to say!!!

use some of that carnival money to help fix the country instead of wasting that dancing in the street

Fa real. Dancing in the dark streets with no lights. Can you spell dumb!

LOL. Funny enough, I agree. I've said before I love the idea of a week long cultural festival, but seriously, priorities????

Is this man a real businessman? what skills does he really bring to the EXC job????

Why the **** does this man still have a job? Out of all the worthless politicians we have in this country (including our MP in South Abaco) Leslie Miller might be the worst. This man's performance (or lack thereof) is a joke - sadly the joke's on us....

No money for critical infrastructure that we knew we needed from 2012, but 15 million to fake UR....

Who can you call when lights be disconnected for non-payment? Comrades this is type financial insolvency, which occurs when your residential customers monthly light bills become higher than their families groceries budget. The workingman's and woman's can no longer afford to keep up with their BEC bills. The big foreigner owned hotels and politically connected business owners does consider avoiding paying their BEC bills as a privileged form entitlement corporate welfare. The major difference is when da struggling Bahamalander’s lights does get’s cut-off – they’s stays off - cause ain’t none them got’s Comrade Pot cakes reconnection hotline cell number?

Its the unions bleeding BEC dry Stealing fuel hooking up electric to others for cash in pockets. Now lets blame Miller. Make your bed so sleep in it.

they robbed the bank account dry before they needed to buy generators...thus nothing left for anyone else....aka the regular hard working bahamian that needs electricity....thieves! worthless pieces of sh**...

Based on current fuel prices BEC is collecting three times the revenue for the electricty it supplies. Oil prices are now at $77 a barrel and so the fuel surchage should be close to zero. Yet BEC is adding more surcharge than when oil was above $120 a barrel. This company needs to be audited and our money refunded

Good luck with that one!

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call of a mother in labor. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a three-year-old toddler, to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.
Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.

Mommy pushed and pushed and, after a little while, baby Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.

The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed girl what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, “He shouldn’t have crawled in there in the first place. . .smack his ass again!”

Before 1967 the whites conchy joes shouted “white Power!”
After 1967, the PLP's and the blacks shouted “black Power”.
At last we can now shout together – “no Power ” !!

Lol... good one!

Have you heard that satan is no longer the Prince of Darkness?

Who is Leslie Miller?

Should have used all the millions 'they say' they've invested on BAMSI in Andros, to purchase those much needed generators. Lousy again!

100 million to write off loans defaulted on by political friends and lovers, but no money to ensure the poor citizens have a electricity supply. This is the WORST government ever.

ThisIsOurs even though most bahamians weren't a fan of Minnis however, I must admit that his administration did an excellent job at bringing BPL formerly known as BEC back on its feet by purchasing new generators for the Clifton Pier and Blue Hills power stations.
