Failed Distraction.

These guys are pretty a much a year in and still referring to the previous administration?

After miserably blundering the Oban deal, spending nearly all of their political capital they expect to distract us from their deficincies ?!

NEWSFLASH HUBERT'S LITTLE POODLE - we do not care about Perry and his gang.

Your team has failed even more miserably - to an extent that you've even blundered the opportunity to hold Perry and his gang of crooks accountable for their past misdealings.

Just look at the Frank Smith Case!

Furthermore - how do you expect us to take you serious on stamping out corruption when a convicted fraudster commits forgery in front of your leader?

Any further reference to the previous administration by this gang should be received as an admission of failure and lack of direction!

Umm i care about Perry and his gang. If they have been found to do illegal stuff then i want them in jail and to have the proceeds from doing this taken from them. Only if this happens will we be able to turn off this constant mismanagement and outright stealing that goes on over here.

The Prime Minister can turn off this constant mismanagement by dispelling corruption in his own camp.

He can resign for allowing a convicted fraudster to be partnered with our country on an international scale and further perpetuating his actions by forging a document in the presence of a nations leaders and on live television.

And if he is derelict in his duty then i expect him to face repercussions. I am not a party person but a Bahamian and i am sick and tired of the so called leaders of this country making as much money for themselves whilst watching their fellow Bahamians struggle.

In a normal country, the said "Merlene Poitier" would be now arrested and be given the choice of 20 years behind bars with all her assets frozen or spilling the beans on the real beneficiary.

But since we all know that the money went to Brave and that this is the Bahamas and that every politician thinks it is perfectly reasonable to loot the Public Treasury, nothing will happen. And we will remain a Third World Country.

Arrested for what? Doing work for the government ?
She is not a government official. What prevents her from doing work for the government?

What disqualifies her from working for davis and co after or during the tenure of her contract?

Arrested for fraud. Did she receive the money? Yes. Did she deliver the project? No. Did she receive twice as much money as was in the contract? Yes. Did she partner up with another firm as the contract required? No. Why not? That is all fraud.
And I am aghast that you can't see it.

BahamasforBahamians - either you are completely oblivious or obviously not bahamian or for the bahamas

I checked the dictionary:

PLP trool (noun) : completely oblivious or obviously not bahamian or for the bahamas

Minnis ordered the release of this EY report on WSC to distract attention away from his own shenanigans involving Oban Energies and its crooked agents and principals. The Tribune may have taken the bait but the public at large will not fall victim to doing so. We the people are still waiting on a proper explanation from Minnis as to how and why he has allowed our government to become entangled with the charlatans behind Oban Energies.

This project really needs to be removed off the balance sheet of the WSC and transferred into Resolve where it can be "quietly" managed next to the BoB non performing loans.

Once it is on the balance sheet of Resolve the government can then raise another $100 million so this waste water treatment plan can be built correctly.

The police must be overwhelmed with all of the E&Y reports being given to them with no additional forensic, financial or technical staffing.

Ma Comrades, I was disappointingly waiting for the Junior House Member for Long Island to have dropped bombshell of there being discovery two agreements signed between WSC and NID. There's no smokin fake Satpal Dhunna signature here - so let's return back something more current and pressing for Grand Bahamalanders - likes Oban.
The PLP were put on trial before the public on May 10, 2017 and unanimously found be found guilty many sins against the People.... but "It's the Red Shirts time........be charged and brought before da same People - who judged the PLP." The Member Long Island - cannot expect impartially serve on People's jury- cause of whom he has aligned himself with.
.

Please bee quiet

The Bahamas cannot solve its problems because when problems (like WSC report) are reported, jackasses like many of the above commenters are making fun of the serious nature of the problem ............... This is what sensible investigators do ....... just look at Mueller & Trump.

Ma Comrade Sheeprunner12, so right you are this is about the serious business nation .....well almost but not the only serious business needing looking into.....the only current concerning part you left out was to call for (Independent) team of Forensic Auditors to examine the Heads of Agreement document which was tabled on floor House of Assembly - to certify that's its the very same, unchanged, HOA that was signed up in cabinet office's media show pertaining be with fake signature Satpal Dhunna. Do you agree... cause we all knows how KP just loves appoint all kinds auditors -all at expense empty public purse. Maybe you trust the reds, a growing number citizens - no longer trust anything they promised or says. My argument on PLP goes much deeper than yours considering I believe they are not capable offering themselves as a political party as opposition to the current red government and should finish off from May 10, 2017, with the disbanding the party..... still what the government did in cabinet office with HOA, remains offensive and must be stopped.

Please be quiet

There are good and bad politicians........Kudos to any politician who exposes corruption
The people who suffer are those who are the least able to fend for themselves. Paying a larger portion of VAT on survival than the wealthier and precious resources diverted from creating opportuniyies...for all
Sadly further benefits they could have had to better their lives are now being found in blatent corruption.........despite supporters trying to not have investigations....and this is not to say that fraud does not exist on both sides.
Despiye the political objectionists, friends, lovers and die hard supporters cronies, butt kissers, vehemently denying, misleading, bombbast, protecting, it is expected that .......criminal actions fraud be punished to the fullext of the law.
Roc wid Doc as Prime Minister of the entire Bahamas must be given credit for his stand against curruption...!!
Amazing,..Shocked....!!L

WE THE PEOPLE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING THE PEOPLE'S MONEY STOLEN BY AND UNDER THE NOSES OF SUCCESSIVE BAHAMIAN GOVERNMENTS. It is truly sickening. It's like - how much can we tief before we get catch? When we get catch they don't do nuttin anyway.

Ma Comrades, an audit which could end up costing public purse $1 million to dug up obituary then minister's mother but forgot to mention WSC is still broke and offered not single idea moving WSC forward..... million dollars digging up obituary which the auditors would have easily obtained from newspaper and for free. Not sigle mention that at least one mentioned in the audit was a Papa Hubert appointee. {I'd have made this audit up $100,000 and offered payment terms - cause EY is no charitable institute}. This does not meet audit smell test, far from it but provides juicy gossip for the reds peddle as they try survive for another day as a government... maybe the member Long island can tell us if he's ever seen the face mystery belonging to the fake signature Krieger signed on Oban's HOA? Will the member Long Island now ask Brent to release all dates on immigration files of the mystery face having been physical on Bahamaland's soil? This is all about Santa clause.

Look Tal. a small word of advice. if you are not offering positive you are adding to the negative and only adding to the problem. Please try to be constructive, intelligent and progressive. as it is you are just making statements of a blathering idiot. sorry but its true. i've read teh junk you have written here for the past 5 or 6 years (how long as tribune242 been around?) you are embarassing, honestly please stop you make the bahamas look bad. from now on i will troll you across this platform.

every post you make
every snarl you take
every single day
every time i pray
i'll be watching you

No matter how you slice it, the fact are the facts, bottom line? Dirty, dirty , dirty, but these fellas wanted to get back in, and some want them back in... to finish the job I guess..I think more forensic audits are on the way, we wait and see. If I'm not mistaken, all of us that work and pay taxes are affected here, I can find one excuse for them squandering the money to they own !

All the principles associated with NID should be doing the bank lane or nassau street shuffle very soon ! There is enough forensic for a solid case.

Ma Comrades, leaks coming out windows Churchill Building are saying 58% members Imperial red cabinet are becoming even more confused over Minnis's weird behaviour. This has be accurate reading on red cabinet when considering a number among the dissatisfied 58% have voiced privately that the PM is doing a terrible job at explaining his decisions. This leak out cabinet must haves some credibility - that is unless there's another explanation behind a secret meeting tooking place between some the 58% cabinet ministers and former red MP's involved in successful red coup against Minnis... no one is saying whether Loretta was there or not?

not constructive

I just wish that w & S would provide water at reasonable pressure every day for 24 hours in Eleuthera. Disgusting part time water rationing service.

can't you get a well or rain water tank at your location?

surely it could makeup the shortfall.

They are clueless, so they continue to live in the past and cast blame. They only have
four more years to blunder along. There first year were the biggest blunders made in the history
of the Bahamas Speaker Moultrie and OBAN. All 34 of them are BLANK and their ;leader
is the blankness of all. The blind leading the blind. and none know any better.

This is why the PLP will never win an election with Brave Davis as leader. I ain’t saying he is corrupt but he sure seems close to a lot of corrupt activities.

Ma Comrades, public purse funded audits should report all the positive and bad, regardless of whether it reflects positively or negatively on the previous or current government. However, I have yet see such evidence this in any many audits accumulating to costing up $100 million AND put out 'without tender' by KP. I guess the reds complete lack transparency contract letting are above reproach. Hardly so. they're human ways politicians too.

Silly comment

Are Bad smelling contracts at Water and Sewerage, .. . . . ....
Rank ministerial abuse of privilege? .. ... . . . ...
These contracts for cronies just won't go away, . . . ....
No matter what Davis or Mitchell might say, . . . .....
The plp cabinet look like a bunch of buffoons, . . . ... ...
With the same amount of sense as that duck in Looney Tunes, . . ...
Corruption in the government always leaves a trail, . . . .... ..
That ends up with a minister applying for his bail, . . . .....
I for one think that if youre low-life scum, . . . . .. ....
You deserve to be in jail when your trial is done.

Tribune.....it's damning, not daming.

I wonder if I can get money back for being paid up member of both major political parties, or would I have to have paid up NIB proof, paid up business licence, proof, property tax and VAT as well as a current driver's licence and passport and other proof of identity and certificates of compliance.

So when is someone actually going to be held accountable or is this just more bread and circus, horse and pone show? More rhetoric less action! Which is the standard operating procedure of 90% of politicians around the globe. Show the poeple you really mean business and are not really just best buds of the guys across the aisle. show some guts, get some glory.

These reports are about emotionalism and distraction. Good to know of course but if no one willl be held accountable- and I don’t think ANYONE will- what’s the point?

Exactly ........... What will be done about the Brave Davis' and Execs' abuse of WSC??????

....as part of the nomenklatura...the same fixed group of bureaicrats and politicians....no matter which new govt the people chooses....there are still there linked like W&S executives and politivian in Exuma.
...these revelations are exceptionally good thanks to the trailblazing reporters for the Tribune.....we are all VAT taxpers and in all fairness thanks to the present govt...the bold MP Gibson..but now lets see the full justice done......for all the rest of the nation (375,000 less those involved).......deproving the poor, all those parents denying themselves necessities so they can feed their children,...the poor who just go hungry, needy, needing hospital beds, needing social services, who were deprived of benefits they too could have enjoyed from governance....justice delayed is justice denied
