Time for another company/person to run this power company!

I know right. <img src="http://s04.flagcounter.com/mini/kfoW/bg…" style="display:none">

It seems as if every successful business/hotel in the Bahamas has outstanding bills that needs payment whether it is light and/or property. To even let a 'hotel(s)' conjure bills arising to more than $7m is completely outrageous; yet, instead of cracking down on them when their arrears arise to more than $150, they rather disconnect and crack down on the peasants who are already burdened by this country's mistakes for as little as $50. Something is wrong here, dead wrong in this country we call home.

The Bahamas run a slack ship, most people think that they could get away without paying their bills, from leaders high up in government to the small man so I guess the foreigner thinks that's the way it is in the Bahamas so they don't have to pay either.

This idiot Miller would like to have us all think that he and the delinquent hotels have done us a favour by paying a portion of what they owe. Bullocks and bollocks! These seriously delinquent non-payers (including Miller himself) should have never been behind in paying their electricity bills to begin with. Is BEC going to collect interest from these dead beat customers to cover the overdraft and loan interest it has had to pay to various banks as a result of the uncollected receivables? Who has allowed these delinquent customers to run up such huge bills? Rumours abound that the PM (Christie) himself has tacitly approved a list of customers not to be disconnected no matter how much they may owe BEC. This list or any other similar list in the Minister's or BEC's possession should be made public for all to see. Christie, the Minister responsible for BEC and BEC's Board (including Chairman Miller) all need to be held to explain and account for the quid pro quo that must have existed (and no doubt still exits) for these delinquent customers to feel safe in the non-payment of millions of dollars in past due amounts that they have owed and still owe BEC. The hotels concerned are clearly not good corporate residents of the Bahamas and one has to wonder about the honesty and integrity of their senior management team members and their owners. None of this augurs well for the standing of a resort like Baha Mar in the eyes of most over-taxed Bahamian voters who suffer the severest of consequences when they do not pay their own bills on time! The voters need to make sure Christie and the Stalwart Councillors of the PLP are banished from the political scene forever come the next general election. This can only be done by a landslide vote against the PLP in the next general election followed by the opening up of aggressive investigations into the corrupt practices of the party and its leadership. The investigations should not only seek retribution for crimes against our society but also aim to claw back as much stolen "wealth" as possible from the individuals who have benefited most from the wide spread corruption!

The political and civilian directorate who are running BEC should be indicted for crimes against Bahamians. Is it true that Kevin Basden has retired?

Is it possible the Ministry of Finance will toss some them cheques into the same safe where they keep all the other MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in "uncashed" corporate and personal cheques. It's being going on long before this PLP administration were returned to power. Cheques for anything from real property taxes, business licensing fees, government loans, all locked away with no intentions of processing for payment. Comrades, if you only knew how many "uncashed" millions sit in that well protected safe and whose names are on them? Neither government seemed eager to talk about what in the hell ever happened to the many millions it has been alleged was collected by someone when they sold the government's "peoples" Freeport shares?

how about open government tabs with BEC?

surprisingly the Government entertains negotiations with the Chinese controlling and financing Bahamar for other projects in the Bahamas? I suggest to let them pay up before anything else happens.

THIS IS A BUNCH OF NONSENSE AND FICTION TO MAKE BAHAMIANS FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEIR OUTRAGEOUS BEC BILLS FOR SUCH SH@@TTY SERVICE .IT IS THE PLPS STOCK IN TRADE TO DIVERT ATTENTION TO THE POVERBIAL STRAWMAN ,THE BAD WHITE FOREIGNER ,THAT WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POOR BLACK BAHAMIAN IF NOT FOR THE PLP : WHILE IN THE MEAN TIME THEY ROB US BLIND

THE MOST DISAPPOINTING PART IS THAT FROM THE LATE 80,S WE HAVEN,T SEEN THROUGH THIS PLOY ,,,

@ concern it's not we its you and others if you fall for it

Is this how these people were taught to run a business?
Hotels or Power companies, any ass can make a million if they do not pay their bills!!!!

Like letting Government departments run into 120days on account,
crap on that! CUT THEM OFF!
BS on this Political posterior kissing inside tracking favor seeking
self serving old boys club garbage.
It is this that has caused VAT, massive debt, over $5 billion
Crappy infrastructure, sellout politicians with no public acountability.
and every other terminal illness this country suffers from.
Rant off.

When will the double standard stop. Mom and pop shop gets disconnected for a $200.00 hill. Luxury hotel owes in excess of $20 mill and allowed to "put sup'um on it"
