where do i apply? is the position still vacant?

I will bet you she did not keep all of the 24,000 a month ,bet you about 10 grand or more of that went as kick back in US .PowerSecure and the PLP were involved in a well oiled skim to loot BEC ,a company half a billion in debt ,w outdated equipment that is only keep afloat by the Bahamas taxpayer and our ability to borrow money as a nation

If you cannot win the lottery in the USA, no problem man, just come to the Bahamas. Why are we complaining, its just the cost of a modern day change of company name and old time corruption.

Someone high up in the PLP was getting kickback in U S dollars as part of that high salary

Comrades! BPL, also had a "Do Not Call List" (DNCL) of Bahamalanders, not worthy to call for a monthly salary of $34,000 plus, plus! Did she pay her light bill, and on time?

"...it must be appreciated that a member of Parliament is paid less in one year than any of the two top executives of BPL make in one month,” Mr Bannister said yesterday.

So... if MPs get paid less than $34 a year, how come so many of them is end up being millionaires?!? BOL!!

Comrades! I have long advocated MP's be paid a yearly salary of $110,000 plus a $3000 monthly expense allowance, The PM's yearly salary should be $225,000, plus we need build an official PM's residence. Cabinet ministers yearly salary $175,000, plus a $5000 month expense account.

Come on people. Why are we shocked? We all know in the Bahamas FOREIGN is always better. It's promoted through our culture from Government down. Why do you think they get all the best jobs and benefits. Nothing new. This been going on from King Hatchet was a Hammer.

high pay and benefits package by Bahamas standards, but not unusual elsewhere.. sad thing is we didnt get what we were paying for because gov't still has veto power over all decisions.. its best they just hire 'seat-warmers' since ultimately all gov't run entity decisions are made downtown anyway, never mind how much the politicians deny it...

Her compensation is according to industry guidelines. You don't attract persons with her expertise and pay them peanuts.The analogy with politician was unfortunate due to the fact that most politicians are woefully unqualified to ran a petty shop.

Her compensation may be according to industry guidelines. However, attracting persons with her "supposed expertise" should also have been tied to her performance!

Paying her peanuts is exactly what she deserves for what she delivered, which actually amounted to nothing.

How do you spell deflection. DESMOND. What a joker.

In Bahamian salary scales for public service etc .......... this is excessive, regardless of how competent she may have been ........ based on her preparation and execution of BPL during Matthew, she did not deserve $35,000 per month ........... but I agree with others on this thread, that she probably did not collect all of that $35,000 p.m. salary ........ someone in the Cabinet/BPL Board got at least 25% of that as a bonus for the sweetheart deal.

SP and sheeprunner lets be reasonable. BPL problems would be insurmountable for any top executive. A company that hasn't made a profit in over twenty years, constant government interference, an elite list of persons that can't be disconnected, a powerful union,culture of theft and a board that practices wholesale cronyism. SP you think she deserve peanuts because in one year of employment she couldn't change BPL. In addition, she is a women and a Jamaican heading a Bahamian company and last but not least she is black.If she was male, British and white........lol.

No ....... you are wrong ........ BEC was quite profitable under Peter Bethell and up to Michael Moss ..... But the policy changes in the early 2000s with Bradley Roberts doomed BEC and 9/11 didnot help the situation much

I am right! If BEC operated on a cash basis they would never would have been label as profitable. One hundred and two million in account receivable mainly owed by the government in 2002 and deem uncollectible in subsequent years wipe out the farce of a profitable BEC. The Government never paid BEC but those bills showed up on the income statement as revenue thus an inflated net income.

Seems like Powersecure did have a plan to "do something" but the plan was not politically palatable, even today Desmond Bannister is saying he's not letting anyone go. Huh?

The correct thing for Powersecure to have done was pull out. These things always make the contractee look bad. When you give sound advice but the boss doesn't want to listen it's your only option, when everything breaks down people naturally question, "but you supposed to be the expert"

Not so alarmed at the salary, think it's pretty standard for an executive of a large international corporation. I worked for a company over 20 years ago with executives earning this level salary. Not surprising, so I don't believe there was any kickback on the salary. Catch 22 is BEC had to spend some money to get out of their current circumstance. The question was would the investment pay off and could they deliver. Will wait to see who is inserted next to feast off the BEC prize bull.
