PLP didn't want that money cus the benefit of the expenditure would have directly benefited the Bahamian people and none of those PLP crooks or their cronys would have been able to get any piece of it.....

This article defines the former administration rather well. I don't believe in being gung ho for borrowed monies though. There should be careful evaluation and planning as to how to pay out dividends and interest rates.

In desperation we should clasp at the first thing that looks like hope and trap ourselves. But if this checks out... idk why we are even having this discussion. It's worth a shot if it's mutual beneficial and manageable long term!

The PLP did not want a plan that was sustainable and above board. They did not want clean money from clean hands. Instead they would rather a deal that involved cronies and money being passed under the table and hidden in shoe boxes in closets. Deals done in the dark (no pun intended), and in smoke filled rooms with sweating mirrors. Steeped in corruption and bribes. The last five years of PLP government was probably the most scandal ridden and corrupt in Bahamian history. One half billion dollars squandered in less of a half year and nothing to show for it. NOTHING! the peoples' money gone. They proved they were not for the people. In the main time y'all a$$ gone sweat while y'all inhale toxic dump smoke. THANKS PERRY DEM!

**P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder interim Leader Philip “Brave” Davis no doubt has absolutely no knowledge of what ALBANY’S Managing Partner Christopher Anand is referring to!

As they "were always especially mindful of the people impacted by our policies – we did not and do not think in terms of statistics, but in terms of individuals, people, families, neighbours, friends......All while dancing around naked like idiots, kissing Chinese orifices and talking fool at every opportunity.

In less than 3 months of being kicked hard as possible out of our lives, ongoing damning revelations of **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunders total asinine mismanagement and innumerable acts of misfeasances are already enough to make every Bahamian and resident want to **demand their change of residence to Fox Hill Prison!**

Someone in the PLP wasn't getting a "cut" out of the deal. Albany would have wanted everything to be up front but we all know that the PLP only deals in the dark. Davis's recent address showed the country that he remains full of sh*t. That entire PLP cabinet should be incarcerated for their crimes against The Bahamian people.

Our new government should tread carefully on matters involving Joe Lewis given 'the nature' of the very close relationship he has enjoyed with Frank Watson over the years....Watson as Minister of Works under a previous Ingraham-led administration practically paved the way with key government approvals for all that has been happening at the Albany development.

I'm sorry, please enlighten me on what exactly is wrong at Albany? I take you didn't get your cut so your upset?

Soooooooo, what kind of electrical generation & grid system will Joe offer us at $700B??????

Nothing short of solar/wind with maybe LNG thrown in at Clifton ........... but we need to know the details

you aint get your cut hey sheeprutter?

And.. is what Albany is doing there on their own property which brings in a lot of $$ to the Bahamas bad? We may someday be asking Albany for our Water supply as they have a proven system. Albany is not the enemy, the old PLP regime is.

It's hard to know. It certainly looks good on the surface, I'd like to see an analysis of how long it would take to make the money back. Is 20 years exclusivity a good deal. And what else are they asking for the 700 m. Anard made a statement "just leave them alone", what does that mean? We need help but we shouldn't be like Esau.

I wonder if crooked Bahamians with power are dissuaded from crooking after Shane was charged or if they'll just find more creative ways to crook...

Let's just all hope and pray Minnis didn't cut a deal during his election campaign with Red China controlled enterprises for the upgrade of our electrical generation and grid system. Red China would love to be involved in this project as it would enable them to cement their control over our country.....we would then see our lights go off forever!

Worse than Red China getting control of our electrical generation & grid system, would be Snake getting control of any aspect of it!

Check out this afternoon's breaking news!

The very corrupt and greedy Snake already controls the supply of fuel to BPL/BEC. Our much higher electricity bills are mainly due to the much higher cost of fuel that BPL/BEC purchases from Snake's fuel supply enterprises. Snake is raking in record profits on his sale of higher priced fuel to BPL/BEC. He is laughing all the way to the bank as he pockets millions and millions of dollars in profits derived from our much higher electricity bills.

That is just disgusting.

If true why is this not public knowledge? This is why a FOI is important. get working lazy bums.

Well the bec needs at least $500mil to solve their problem,which they don't have. Powersecure is under no obligation to invest their money. As it stands now if albany has an offer on the table it shouldn't be hard to work out a good deal. It's not that they are going anywhere soon. they have more than a billion invested here. It can only be a win win situation.

Will somebody please say why we have to keep "Power Secure"? IF they signed a contract stating they would improve the electricity supply in The Bahamas and the lower rates for same, they have not, ergo contract no longer valid.

To "fix" the dump, you would need the co-operation of the police, who would need to stop fly-tipping, charge all loads and stop the constant theft of recycled materials. That is what is needed to turn round its finances and make it a viable long term business which can recycle and invest. This does not suit many prominent PLP "businessmen". Doubt it will suit many non-PLPs either. No more free money.

Charging to dispose of waste leads to dumping elsewhere. Very Bad Economic Sense

Oh, forgot to mention: if Albany "fixed" the BEC, how could you run up millions of $ in unpaid bills? They would cut you off after the second month! How is a decent Bahamian businessman supposed to run a profitable business if he has to PAY his utility bills? This is unheard of and goes totally against everything the PLP stands for!! It MUST NOT HAPPEN!!

The reasoning is simple and straight forward. Joe Lewis refused to agree to "lotion" **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder pirates!

If I've said it once, I've said it 3 trillion times...The biggest impediments to the development and advancing the Bahamas was piracy in the PLP and former FNM.

These people should **ALL** be charged with treason and thrown into Fox Hill Prison for life with no vaseline!

Thank GOD for PM Minnis!

They lockup the kingpin today

Cheif **P**illag **L**oot **P**lunder psychologist Shane Gibson will be demanding new sheriff in town PM Minnis submit himself to have his head examined!

I pray the cops throw **EVERY ONE** of these disgusting pirates DEEEEEEP, DEEEEEEP, DEEEEEEP in Fox Hill Prison for life and recover every ill gotten cent from these teefin, good for nothing bastards!

Simple Solution ........... LNG plant + solar in Nassau ...... solar or wind plants on each Family Island ......... That can be done island by island for the next 3 years ........ JUST DO IT!!!!!
