Same ol' same ol' another day, another Government scandal.

Let's guess who is next- Post Office, W&S, BEC, Customs, NIB, M.O. Agriculture or Immigration?

**..... Poor management and under qualified, untouchable, corrupt political cronies .....**

43 years of political stupidity fueled systemic corruption throughout the public service.

When was the last audit prior to this one?

$660,000 missing after an audit accounting for just a three-year period. How many millions have gone missing "under the radar" in 43 years?

When was the last audit carried out for education, health and security?

Has the PLP or FNM ever convicted ANY CIVIL SERVANT for pilferage?

**WHY NOT?**

they should be able to catch all the people - all of the decals etc are labeled with individual numbers - they know what's missing, Abaco is small enough to put up road blocks and look for the numbers then they have the theives, at least the people that are clearly guilty of receiving stolen goods. But all this sounds too much like accountability and the Gov't working to clean it's act up so lets just talk about it today, forget about it tomorrow and maybe it'll fix itself? right that's what we always do .... hasn't worked yet though.....

So what happens to me if I went to the big shiny new government building in Marsh Harbour, went into the Road traffic office and paid cash and received my license stickers like I've always done and they didn't record the transaction? I did nothing wrong, but I could potentially be driving around with illegal stickers.

This is what happens when those at the top have the management skills of a gnat. The civil service is eating away at our nation just as the politicians are eating our future. I am at the point where I think this country would be better off run by the private sector. 43 years of mismanagement, hiring crony's, and political tribalisum and what do you get, a country that is a shit hole! Great job! Typical post colonial failures.

More of the same .. what else do you expect?

Many of Hanna-Martin's classmates in her years as a student at Queens's College say she had back then nothing but a big mouth and little between her ears. Clearly nothing changed in her transformation to adult life. She's about as incompetent as they come and may as well spend even more of her political life attending weddings, funerals and visiting the more important sick PLP's in her constituency.

PLP = Professional Looters Party. Motto - We will steal what we want when we want, you can believe in that!

We should not be so surprised as a result of these revelations…after all we live in a most corrupt society where politically connected thieves are protected. Whenever they are caught they are seldom prosecuted, They are simply transferred to another department or ministry.

A recent case in point: When it was discovered, late last year, that some **$50,000.00, in cash, had gone missing from the Supreme Court receipts** a Finance Officer, who happened to be on vacation at the time of the discovery, was arrested by the police, questioned and released. The officer was later transferred to another Government Department. Needless to say the officer is politically connected to a high ranking Cabinet Minister.

This was the second time the officer had been transferred for stealing. Maybe the Auditor General will have a look at the Supreme Court Accounts as well.

Same thing happened at COB, the politically connected likely suspect was allowed to leave with full benefits. Still nothing on the politically connected thief from the Post Office bank. Mrs Martin promised an investigation there too...since then, crickets

The list is endless of what was ignored. A proposal for an automobile environmental solution was ignored. A proposal for the creation of a new knowledge-based industry was ignored. A proposal to create a universal eGovernment framework so that all departments would be universally computerised was ignored. The trouble is that these proposals were ignored because the people who would approve them, couldn't see any direct monetary benefit to themselves to approve them.

harder to teef with better oversight

There are tons of bad drivers on the road. They don't know how to use the roundabout, they push into traffic from side corners, they turn into side corners in front of you and they push onto a four lane highway as if you're supposed to make way for them. **These people have to have bought their license, theft isn't the only problem at road traffic.**

There's no doubt that many have bought their license, but just because someone knows what they're doing is wrong, isn't going to stop them from doing it.

waaaaaa.... just after the passport office dem say dey get teef.... holy jhed. next dey guh say junkanoo get stolen, and instead of rushing, yll guh see red dragon dancing up bay street in stead cus the Chinese gone be the only ones dem with money after this gov't robb out us and itself to da bone
