For Hubert Minnis and KP Turnquest to claim that they did not know of or expect the many problems BPL has been experiencing for many years now, says much about the character, honesty and integrity of both of these most deceitful imbecilies. Minnis and Turnquest deliberately turned a blind eye to BPL's operational problems rooted in its grave financial woes so that they could produce and table misleading pie-in-the-sky national financial budgets for public consumption with the aim of obtaining higher credit ratings from Moody's and S&P than our country deserves. In other words, by deliberately painting a much better picture in our national financial budgets than deserved by the true state of our country's financial affairs, these two bozos have engaged in fraudulent financial reporting by its very definition. And now, because of the emergency/crisis situation that was allowed to come to a head on their watch, instead of being properly addressed by them as a matter of priority starting more than two years ago, they find themselves politically blackmailed into literally throwing away millions and millions of dollars more than would have otherwise been required. The foreign equipment vendors, foreign engineers, foreign technicians and foreign consultants are now all going to stick it to us but good simply because everything must now be done by them on an emergency expedited basis. Of course Minnis and Turnquest will now pay whatever is asked by borrowing willy-nilly in an effort to save their political hides, leaving Bahamian taxpayers with humongous increases in our national debt. The buffoonery here on the part of Minnis and Turnquest cannot be overstated.

And with Minnis and Turnquest now both claiming they did not know of or expect BPL's problems, just what does that say about the Minister responsible (Bannister) and the entire current Board of BPL? The proof of the untruthfulness and decietfulness of Minnis and Turnquest lies in the fact that they are not inclined to insist Bannister resign from his cabinet post or sack the entire Board of BPL. Moxey, Heastie and Maynard should also be given their walking papers, but no, none of this will happen because Minnis and Turnquest are themselves duplicitous in turning a blind eye to all of BPL's problems. They've all been grossly negligent as a result of their gross deceitfulness.

Hear, hear

Indeed, one huge crock after another. Doubt they will be able to climb out of this one. Our poor Bahamas. It didn't have to be this way but years of massive graft and inefficiency have finally taken their toll......

“Whatever BPL needs, BPL will get", this is great!!!
Not only do we give the company away, we also give them carte blanche to spend whatever they like. Great negotiation position this PM maneuvers himself into.

Giving the company away would probably be the best you could do. Imagine a somewhat competent operator being able to charge on average 40c per kWh and all they need to do is keep the lights on. The average price in the US is 12c!

They should get down on their collective knees and BEG such an operator to take it off of our hands!
