Comrades! Conclusion is you don't get appointed to a red government board - unless you're a proven loyal red shirt. Okay 'KP' time order an audit see if the two dearly departed voted in the May 10, 2017 General Election? {When I says you don't have make this stuff up - some you think that's exactly what I did }. If you can get appointed to a red government board the conclusion is even if dead you would've voted red.

Love it---Only in the Bahamas!!

Not only can dead people vote, they can serve on Boards & Committees!!

Comrade GotOutInTime, Finally, a governing party openly acknowledges there's no way to say no to the appointment of a dead red Comrade supporter. Now, here's the more interesting part. Had the media not discovered this - they would have started receiving regular payments from the People's Public Treasury, as their remuneration for serving the red party as one their Board Members. {Too damn funny make this up }.

Tal I love it---You have to have a sense of humour in this life!!

Comrade GotOutInTime, a sense Caribbean humor is why I never take an ugly turn when responding to posts of the personal attacks kind. Life is done too short as it is. We once had a beautiful island chain country and we want it back - even if a few dead people get appointed or vote.

So very true my friend---Have a great weekend!

Several Boards should be there just for winding up purposes ....... Nassau Flight Services, Bahamasair, BPL, Hotel Corporation and BAIC should be divested before July 2018

its the peoples time. even if you dead and gone.

I hold no brief for those who made these mistakes,but I would take this type of mistake over what your plp government made over the past 5 years. Go away birdie

Giving the constantly yapping white-haired little poodle ministerial responsibility for Bahamasair was bad enough, but appointing dumbo the elephant with the large flapping ears as Chairman of the Board of Bahamasair just adds insult to injury......it's now all too clear that the Minnis-led FNM government isn't the least bit serious about stopping all of the financial bleeding at Bahamasair that continues to take an enormous toll on our Public Treasury by way of annual subsidies.

Are you seriously confirming that all of these appointments are PAID posts?

**Appointing dead people is the least of what's wrong with the list. The real problem is the living appointees. The dead can't make any harmful decisions and they can't disrupt the running of the organization**. Do the larger percentage of these people know anything about directing an organization? Should they be at this level? The FNM is continuing the practice of handing out money through board appointments. They are not serious. Board members people should be among the top strategists over the entire organization, anyone remember that Audley Hanna was appointed to WSC board I believe. The FNM Is not serious about changing anything. I see many people who raise holy hell about Poitier and *how he get dat*, quietly eating their mutton.

Darnell Osborne as chairperson of BEC and Kenyatta Gibson as Chairman of the Gaming Board are the two biggest mistakes I see apart from the very definite bias towards lodge brothers and/or their wives.

You forgot Adrian Gibson as chairman of WSC??? These appointments are clearly not meant for the good of the organization

The board members should be providing UNPAID service to the public as thanks for yet another position in the spotlight!.

Ah come on man. We have so many capable people in private sector who are qualified and can do the job. @thisisours you are correct this is the wrong way to go about these appointments. Just don't appoint people for the sake of doing it or to please the party. We in serious times and we still behaving like everything is peachy. If you're cutting the budget start with these paid boards.

True ........... Government needs to purchase the fee structures for sitting on these Boards .......... Why should an MP make $28K and a Board Chairman make $100K???????? ........... What is the rationale????? ......... What does a Chairman do that the Minister, PS, CEO, Director etc cannot do???? ......... Family Island Statutory Boards are not paid a dime ........ So why pay any???

Comrades! If red shirts officials charged with such a simple task as compiling the list, which referred to 104 statutory agencies and/or entities, lists persons appointed members of statutory boards and committees for the period July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018.
I'd be nervously suspect trusting them with much more really importance life decisions - like returning to the hanging of citizens. You don't wish on your worst enemy the hanging of the innocent.

Agree

These Boards appointments are the best means to reward the generals and cronies of the Cabinet ........ They do not really get anything done ....... Can you remember when Rollins and Potcake tried to reform the Gaming Board and BEC during the last PLP term??????? It leads to direct conflict with the Minister or the CEO/GM of the Agency in question (who has tenure) ..... It will not end well for a reform-minded Board Chairman ....... And why upset the apple cart when you are collecting six figures for signing documents, cutting ribbons, and making speeches?????
