McKinney and his incompetent and/or ineffective Board should just go away ....... They have already failed to collect the public finances ........... No need to filibuster and deflect blame (you failed)

Mr McKinney, do yourself a favour and emigrate for a few years. When your PLP cronies come back to power, I am sure they will find another suitable position for you. Until then (unless you have already stolen enough), you will just have to find an honest job.

McKinney and several others who were recently fired from the NAD board are well known influence peddling opportunists who are quite prepared and willing to owe their despicable station in life to corrupt politics played out at the highest levels of the PLP party.

We need to adopt Legislation as in the UK that would declare McKinney a "Disqualified Director", thereby preventing him from holding such a fiduciary position again, as clearly any Landlord who allows a Tenant to accumulate so much in unpaid Rent is completely and utterly incompetent ... and the "salt in the wound" is he wants a "Thank You"!

As for Pat Mortimer, I am sure she was up for Queen's Honors for her business acumen, as with Sir. Tiger, as these People are truly gifted at destroying extremly viable ventures whilst at the same time enriching themselves personally, at the expense of Shareholdes, Fiananciers, Investors, Suppliers and Other Ceditors ... just look at ABC Motors, Solomon's Mines, RND, Burn's House, City Markets, etc. ... all once profitable, but destroyed through a combination of incompetence and outright embezzling, causing much unnecessary unemployment in the process.

what a spin.
plps always doing that, they fail to pay property tax, electricity water and when the bill is significant, they boldly say: "i will only pay if they write something off". i have witnessed one say that and also the other hired gun who writes crap on this board and is never up to date in bills.

that was to be done with bec bills.

if this woman had any credibility she would pay the bill and then sue NAD for discrimination and get money back.

just declare them bankrupt. i saw in the newspaper that a former plp mp is on course to be declared a bankrupt.

As more and more of the economic carnage that is exposed that happened under the Perry Christie government is exposed the desire to walk up to them and spit (yes spit) on their faces increases. Imagine that you a Bahamian taxpayer struggling to keep a job or kept your business open and they squandered so many millions and tirlef so much millions more. I say spit on Perry dem every time you see them and don't let them spend your money in dignity. Including D Shane Gibson who think he still owns Bahamasair

Comrades! What does it mean to recklessly sully your political appointees opposites reputations?
Surly, Anthony McKinney, QC is not saying that any red shirts crown cabinet minister, or their fellow red MP's, would now dare attempt to standup on the floor the People's Honourable House of Assembly - expecting to be all cloaked by "parliamentary privilege" - but hypricissy does lives on with every change government?

The PLP invented "hypricissy". Are you so cognitively challenged that you cannot parse the statements that the new board came in 2012, she was already $1.2 million in hock, but since she spent a lot of money for the new airport, they are forgiving? This is business 101 -- you either pay your bills or get out. Of course, the PLP invented not paying bills, so I suppose that it was a pre-existing condition. Your moral compass is so askew, that you are not save-able.

Comrade Banker, do you not believe that there had be government culpability that involved lots more than $1.2 million in unpaid bills left scattered across the private island by the organisers of the Fyre Festival?
Not a damn peep coming from the Red Cabinet on Fyre. Why so? Let's pray our God is watching!

Obie was the Tourism minister then. There will be consequences. More PLP criminality and perfidy.

the spelling is wrong, it is spelled hyprisissy.

what did Tal say?

so if you cant negotiate a rent reduction, stop paying, let the bill swell, then get your reduction through the backdoor by agreeing to pay if they write off 1/3 of what you owe.. what masters of corruption we bahamians are.. a few questions about this... who was responsible for accounts receivable at NAD? what did they do as this bill started to swell? where was the Board finance and audit committee while all this happened? who lost their job because they weren't doing it?

And that is why the board bears culpability. McKinney is not fit to be in business.

My sentiments exactly! I mean even if the PLP crony had a problem with the rent why wasn't she paying ANYTHING at all!! Who does this?? More importantly, who gets away with it and conveniently gets a write off two months before the election? WTH!!

I understand all of the comments above.
But, does any thinking person think that Agulair is good for The Bahamas?
He wants to be a ruler, not a voice of the people.
Is this the same guy who said, "web shops are here to stay"?
So, should we accept that murders, cancer, STDs and theft are here to stay?
Or, should we have the sense and decency to see what is ailing our country and attempt to fix it?
How do web shops help this nation?
Or, do the payouts to the politicians make it convenient to sell their soul, like Agulair?
Who is he working for?
Honestly.

We elected him to kick azz. He is a business man. The business of the government should be business, not charity. It's about time some azz was kicked and I wish that Minnis would do more of it.

Best thing among many good things that has happened as a result of the election!

Fuzzy logic whereby the ordinary citizen gets his power and cable and water turned off if he or she is in arrears for less than a few months, evicted if in arrears with rent yet we are expected to believe that nobody monitors rental payments from these shops to NAD on a monthly basis. Can you imaging owing a a private landlord $10,000 and then saying if you discount it by $5000 I will pay the rest ?????. Of course there was political / personal intervention and the public have to subsidise this 4th world way of doing business by higher airport fees. Simple pay up or get out and go to court.

That is classic Pingdomite political thuggery ............ Why is Lady SLOP still in Government House??????? ............ She should vacate that position by June 30 as well ........ She and the PLP exMPs who have not declared as all a disgrace to these "honourable" positions ...... We need our money!!!!!!!!!

The fundamental point is this woman had five stores! The first thing you do if not generating a profit is downsize. give up at least two of the stores and cut down on your overhead. LPIA is not a cheap place to rent and, of course the prices in the stores surely reflect that. Even parking there has increased 3 fold. This woman was hoggish and she knew she could get away with not paying because she was a big PLP crab. It's the people's money, and now it's the people's time! The government must recover some of this hundreds of millions if they are to ever put this country back on its feet. They had people being paid millions as consultants and never ever hitting a lick!

Co-sign.

If anyone hires this dumbass after reading this then i guess it truly takes one to know one and like one.....

So I own a tourist Tee shirt shop downtown and my staff come in to work but is rains all day and I get no customers in the shop, I don't have to pay my staff for that day. What a way to do business. Only our great God can guarantee events.

SOMEBODY is responsible for the loss of revenue. Please say they are not going to weasel their way out of it. COLLECT THE DEBT! This, as the former, is the same Bahamas Government which instructs its corporations to disconnect power and water when its PEOPLE are in arrears. They certainly don't give them five years' grace! What a damn sham!

This director has so much "slave" in him. He can't even admit that him and his team completely screwed up. Did he go to school? Did he take Mathematics. Which stone in the bush did tjey find theis guy under? Nobody forgives that kind of money. Nobody (but him). Now he has thr GUTS to make excuses!!!! He should have been sweeping floors not governing an airport.

This Story alone eptimomises why we are where we are 43 years post Independence by exposing nepotism, incompetence, ignorance, corruption, etc. ... now multiply a few thousand times! It is a wonder we are still floating ... or are we, as many will say we have already sunk, but either do not realize or worse, refuse out of lingering National Pride to admit!

...and if you believe this crock, I would like to meet to sell you some farm land between N.P. and Rose Island that I promise will rise out of the sea, thirty days after you pay for it. This blatant PLP theft scam has been exposed in Punch for months and months. Where was the good Board Member during all that if he is so ready to bring a legal action?

Just another FNM lie. Washers you presses.. you mouth runs far ahead of his brains
and they choose to say that because of ones hue they are thieves and to many FNMs
believe just that. old lying D'agulia.

only mean spirited FNMs would want to spit on other human beings. . What one
sows they will reap and it may be very soon. what evil dwells in the recesses of their
minds. it is out of the minds of such that comes murder, the wash house man lies. just
as roc wit doc does. Bains Town free tax zone?

The PLP is the worst piece of Shit in the region!
