If you listened to Brave Davis just now in the House of Assembly, this a seriously tangled web of deceit and underhanded system of political cronyism concocted by the PLP (and all former governments since 1964).

Nothing new here Comrades. These are the outcomes we usually associate with a PLP administration. Only in a PLP Cabinet the mystery whether you have insurance coverage in force or not is just about to be revealed until after the alleged arson fire. I hate say this being the bad decision it was but had they only paid the worker his earned wages, we would never have known about this insurance thing. In a way he is as much a whistle blower as as he is an alleged
arsonist.
Still this PLP cabinet has refused to address why workers were not paid. In fact reports are still circulating with claims of BAMSI workers going unpaid, by both the contractor and the PLP Cabinet?
I would suggest any sudden insurance policy emerging must undergo an non-government
forensic audit?
Sorry Comrades, but I no longer believe - much less trust - anything coming out mouths
of anything that looks, walks and quacks like a PLP.

Very good point Tal which is why it pays to be honest, in a very real sense we all reap what we sow. Perhaps we need whistle blower legislation, that protects and rewards those who expose corruption and stealing from the public treasury. In the U.S. a whistle blower is entitled to a percentage of the funds recovered because of their action.

If V. Alfred and Brave where honorable members they would admit that they where negligent and tender their resignations. We know that our P.M. is too spineless to request their resignations. This is a textbook example of cronyism, neglect, mismanagement, and disregard for the peoples money. Heads should roll. But sadly we are dealing with the government of the Bahamas, they have no clue as to what the proceeding words mean.

This would not happen under a Hubert Ingraham led government ........ period

** My-My-My, How Quickly We Forget When It's OUR Pirate At The Helm **

Hubert Ingraham allowed his Cabinet Minister of Tourism to walk away with $5M through a shell company.........& let's not forget the $350,000.00 bathrooms on Saunders beach!

That's just what leaked out! How many more MILLIONS vanished under Hubert Ingraham?

**PLP & FNM are 6 of one & half dozen of the other..Both totally corrupt!**

Corrupt, incompetent people in charge of our country. What is most unfortunate is that there are very few people, in all parties, who are truly capable of running The Bahamas. Hopefully we get 10 or so good independent candidates for our next general elections.

What insurance??!! Think it has been made painfully clear that there IS NO INSURANCE...so what insurance issue are you waiting to resolve?? Bunch of retards, the lot of them...Birdie...you need to come in here and offer up a sound defense for this one...let's hear it...put ya PLP godlike goggles on and spin this into how and why they are doing the right thing here?

Birdie would be an idiot to defend this shit. I am wondered the same thing when he said as soon as the insurance thing is cleared up.

It used to be that for Government contracts, in addition to the property insurance, a performance bond had to be acquired so that the Government was protected if the contractor defaulted on the job. When did this change?

when the peehellpee took over.

How can something that never happened in the first place be cleared up and how can we sit & discuss this with straight faces?? Is this better or worse than a hologram?

I have every confidence that the Government will come to the bottom of this and the dorm will be rebuilt for our young Bahamians to live in. Once done we will be able to grow our own food and feed the nation!

I am sure that once they have found the insurance policy they will find that it was an unfortunate oversight.

The contractor also said he will find the funds to rebuild. Let give him some time to get the dorm rebuilt.

Let put our full support behind Bamsi and the Bahamian Government!

What country do you live in? I would like to move there, PLEASE!

Love it! - Let's hope you're right and we can all live happily ever after...

The building now cost over five million dollars to rebuild. . .game over. . .the contractors een can build that back at that price. . .he is a big PLP stalwart. . .nobody will pay to ficx the building but us!!! That's how PGC them work. . .LAWLESS PEOPLES!!!

The real question is .Were there monies allocated for insurance purposes ? If so, where did it go ? Or did it go up in smoke with the rest of the building.

**.................................. Bahamians need to get up off our "MOUTHS" ................................ .........................and DO SOMETHING about these pirates we call leaders ..........................**

Monies were allocated for insurance and disappeared just like aragonite, salt, oil and GOD knows what else does!

Americans are signing a petition to the White House urging charges be filed against 47 Republican senators who they say committed **"treason"**

http://news.yahoo.com/150-000-sign-trea…

Why can't Bahamians sign a petition demanding an immediate implementation of a Freedom Of Information act and total exposure on BAMSI, aragonite, oil, salt, BEC, BTC, education, Customs, Immigration etc.?

**Time for the pirates to put where they belong......FOX HILL PRISON!**

weirdest story ever. "The insurance lapsed because the project went on longer than expected"

Except..there never was an insurance policy so it couldn't lapse. You couldn't even mistakenly believe it lapsed, not one premium had ever been paid.

Did the name of the company who provided the insurance quote.rhyme with "Southern Alliance"??? "Bouthern Defiance" maybe?? Where did the fictitious "Southern Alliance" come from?

Mr Hanna said he would check with his lawyers on the status of the policy. How long could his smart lawyers take to uncover the facts? Hmmm... with BTC drop call rate, **maybe** five minutes??

How long would Brave Davis have taken to request a meeting with the project team on SUCH AN IMPORTANT INITIATIVE. I mean, *bring all the documents to my office I want a complete update* . A month later he's telling Parliament the insurance lapsed?? That is either a direct attempt to deceive parliament or such egregious incompetence he should not be allowed to continue as Minister of Works. He's the gate keeper. **Don't look around for who didn't do, look in the mirror it's YOU**.

Something is seriously wrong, impropriety continues to swirl around him. And the money in question is **always** one big butt load of dollars,. Look at poor widow Mrs Kohlrautz who couldn't speak a word of English ending up with 20,000 dollars out of a two million dollar estate, while apparently Brave Davis' "company" ends with the bulk of the properties for a measly 200,000,. That doesn't smell right. Legal docs signed or not.

Now he's saying they're going to pay the man who was incapable of paying his staff, out of a TWO MILLION dollar purse , on an arguably overpriced contract, who was apparently not "forthcoming" about fulfilling his obligations, who apparently deliberately set out to deceive giving the name of a company that didn't exist, and who actually submitted a proposal, therefore acknowledging that he knew insurance was needed, but couldn't *part with a single coin not one penny of it* to pay the premium . **This is the man that you want to entrust with MORE responsibility?**. Was he even on time? Was he under budget?

Brave Davis with not even a snicker tells us yesterday, we will ask this man to rebuild the dorm, increase the capacity and more than double the budget. Has anyone done an assessment on whether the building constructed the first time actually required a 2.5 million dollar bounty? We could be rewarding this man for incompetence, paying him the cost to reconstruct the building along with a bonus for the stress the Bahamian people **caused HIM** over the past month...what in the name is this mess in 2015?? You have to have some seriously large duplicated male organs to propose this. Either that or a very efficient gall bladder.

***Sloppy job my fast talking bill ducking servant, you have been unfaithful in many things, I will reward you with double the things you screwed up the first time*** Huh??

Man thisisours I could not have written it any better. Why brave is still a cabinet minister is unthinkable. What kind of pm did the Bahamians elect in 2012 ?

The same do nothing P.M. they fired in 2007. Bahamians just do not learn. We need new leadership, both political party's are abject failures. Due to their mismanagement (FNM and PLP) The Bahamas is in serious decline. In all my 50 odd years I have never been so dejected about the state of our country. Unless Bahamians get involved and make their voices heard we are just going to continue to be railroaded by a corrupt government. I heard somewhere that unless great men/women get involved in politics they are doomed to be ruled by lesser men. Do we have any great men/women in this country?
