As much as I have always maintained Darnell Osborne was not suitably qualified to be Chairman of BPL, it is all too obvious from the matters now in the public domain that the real troublemakers at BPL have been Patrick Rollins and Whitney Heastie, with Bannister affording these two miscreants much political cover. Bannister's ministerial interference of the worst possible kind started a long time before he capriciously sacked those he did not want to remain involved with BPL's affairs. The political cover he gave Rollins and Heastie behind the scenes seriously undermined the board and eventually resulted in the board becoming totally dysfunctional.

And it simply is not good enough for Minnis to state:

> "THE government will launch a formal investigation into the saga at Bahamas Power and Light and the circumstances that led to the shock dissolution of its board of directors and a bitter war of words with top officials."

Such a statement from Minnis is nothing but code for his intention to do diddly-squat more about the matter when instead he should be immediately serving up the heads of Rollins, Heastie and Bannister on a platter.

It's beginning to look that way. Any way you cut it, it is another Bahamas Government disaster at the expense of The People. The entire government is beginning to look dysfunctional. What in Goodness' name can be done to save us from worse to come?

And let's all pray Minnis does not appoint his favourite investigators (the EY accounting firm) to conduct a full investigation into the apparent reprehensible conduct of Rollins, Heastie and Bannister. We all now know the government has been leveraging EY's exposure to legal action as the independent auditors of Bank of The Bahamas (BOB) in order to get all sorts of investigation reports from EY that are very incriminating of senior officials in the previous government. In fact, EY is so conflicted in the role it has had as auditors of BOB that it should not have accepted any of the many investigation engagements that the Minnis-led FNM government has requested that it undertake in connection with matters pertaining to the previous government. The Bahamas Institute of Chartered Accountants (BICA) should itself be looking into the conflicts of interest that exist between the government and EY.

Lol.. Is this supposed to encourage public confidence?

Listen Mrs Osbourne, LBT and Key already tell y'all how Minnis operates. Nothing will come of any "probe". In fact he probably ordered the dissolution of the board.

He told everyone to calm down he would go to parliament to give rationale for buying the Lucayan, in a post-birthday surprise to all of us, apparently he meant, explain AFTER he bought it. Just like Oban, just like VAT. If you still want wait on the result of some probe, that's on you.

Apparently after meeting fired BPL board directors, does seems the Comrade Prime Minister might soon calls up his attorney general Carl Wilshire - to unleash his team hired probing hit squad - on one he own. Carl Wilshire will need watch even more episodes Law & Order, to freshin up on whole new set what constitutes poor judgment versus legal issues. { Why make up such Imperial red shirts erosion good governance? }. How dare the PM, publicly undermines actions one his own crown ministers for discharging he ministerial duties?

@Muddatek sic ...you are firing on all cylinders...on the BICA ...Ms Osboirne was a past leader....and prior election was a major fundraiser for the patry.
The dilemna is the upper echelons are all connected...it does not matter which party is in power...and it does not matter how hard they say no political interfrrance in boards...commonsense is they appoint persons who support their political agenda and there is little difference between slightly left or right of center....the appointed persons almost always fail to hold past boards accountable for wrongs being from the same work professional pool background connrcted and so continues the saga earning the pay, perks and the work becomes more difficult but the key factors is the benefits for the new crew next five years...and the pore still remsin at the bottom unless they send their children away ...an the elite prepare comditions for the nrxt set of pore to fill places....schooling if free and no one is to be asked for papers of nationality or status or parents status...still waiting for the Ministry of National Security to say something..on groups of persons or their parents....

Sounds like all your cylinders are firing too lol! It would be hilarious if it were not such a damn never-ending mess.

They are running this country the same way Zuma ran South Africa, like a blithering idiot showing his baboon rear end as he embezzled millions. I keep saying it and I'll keep saying it. I am disappointed in this FNM administration, the operate like a pack of baboons throwing feces and wasting public monies.

Meanwhile, light bills are high and the cost of doing business continues to increase. SAD!
