I had the same questions myself. Checks and balances, due diligence, freedom of information, lots of things here that won't see the light of day, until.........
The secrets will go to the grave, as so many have before. In the meantime, the taxpayers, the people will be continually saddled with these outrageous bills for goods and services never received. Corruption at its finest. So embedded in the culture that nobody ever goes to jail or has to pay back what they stole. Saves time and money in the judicial system. That way we can spend our law enforcement money and time locking up kids smoking ganja. All makes sense now. Perfect sense.

For us who are sincere about our *Love for Country*, **THIS REALLY HURTS!**

Sincerely, "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his one soul?".

****PEOPLE OF THE BAHAMAS, WE MUST ROOT OUT ALL THAT ARE ASSOCIATED AND CONDONE CORRUPTION.**

**THE PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL PARTY(PLP) SHOULD BE DISBANDED. IT IS A POLITICAL VEHICLE FOR GREED AND CORRUPTION**.**

There is no such thing as a "New PLP". This would only define a renewed opportunity for greed and corruption.

If you root out all the corruption, how will the two remaining Bahamians look after and run this country.

OUT OF THOSE TWO ONE MIGHT BE FNM AND THE OTHER PLP THEN WHAT?

I say put the cat in charge, he can't do no worse. After every crisis he can say *meow*...and translating cat we all know that means I wasn't prepared, again, but I learned alot.

I am just so shame of us as a people (professional adults) who seem not to possess or have the discipline and ability to carry out a straight business transaction on behalf of the Bahamian People without f_cken tiefing. And then we complain when members of the 'white race' looks down on us. SHIT!

They will look after the country by seeking out some of the 1000's of like-minded, honest and patriotic Bahamians who would love play integral roles in rooting out corruption!

Of course, Loretta Butler-Turner had no problem with the BEC fiasco, Vincent-Vanderpool Wallace absconding with millions of the peoples' money, the $300,000.00 toilets at Saunders Beach, the $100M cost over-run with the roads rehabilitation project, selling BTC at 10c. on the dollar, and gifting a very costly and profitable submarine communications cable to Haiti!

These politicians can only see the splinter in the opposition but cannot see the many rafters in their own eyes.

Both PLP and FNM are corrupt to the core and must be removed!

Never heard about Vincent. How did he do it?

I wish I were a fly on the wall every time a politician or Lackey/bag man asked or suggested
inflating the price or cost to include the inevitable kick backs.
With all the Anti foreign corrupt laws internationally, the FACTA, and the TIEA's signed i hope more and more sticky political fingers get caught in the fly trap.

SP I agree. We need to stop voting party and vote person. This party politics is killing our country and these sycophants can see no wrong with their own party. Both the PLP and FNM have doomed us and it continues. Brickell Management Group is building the dooms, BPL deal,

The FNM budgeted over a million dollars I believe to pass the Freedom of Information Act, yet no FOIA has been passed or even prepared for. So, they are corrupt even in becoming transparent! What did we do as a country to deserve this leadership?

We continue to sit idly by and allow corruption to occur. We complain on social media, but when it comes to real change, we are not serious. We do not demand accountability nor do we care as long as we are getting our share or as long as it does not directly affect us.

The entire country loses when we have this type of attitude. We need a change in our mindset. Corruption and dishonesty have destroyed many strong nations, just look at Zimbabwe or better yet, some of our Caribbean neighbors.

So @BahamaPundit, this in my humble opinion is why we got the leadership that we have had! We did it to ourselves!

When will the Government freeze the assets of Perry Christie and his 2012-17 Cabinet???
That required a Commission of Inquiry from DAY ONE in May 2017.
They were the most corrupt administration in the history of this country ....... $3 billion of debt and borrowings and nothing tangible to show for it in 5 years............ Thieves.

All correct. Sad, but correct.

bullcrap. the banks aint got no beef with numbers. silly poppycock such a stretch makes your otherwise plausible statement nullified. good job

is there still a list for BEC? have we eradicated the list? Are we all equal now?

Surely you jest !

Of course the Minnis-led FNM government and the FNM Party have ensured "DO-NOT-DISCONNECT" lists have been made available to the appropriate senior officials with both BPL and Water & Sewerage Corp.

"*she called on the current and future governments to properly protect taxpayers by ensuring “value for money” with all contracts*"

This is what people mean when they ask the question where the VAT money gone: Was the work necessary ? Were other options explored? Was the best vendor selected? Was the money well spent? Were the items purchased worth what was paid for them? Were the items listed as purchased, actually used on the project?

**Why is it** that I see this as not having a damn thing do former corruption.
It's not so an unusually comrade sister Loretta way, **eases in her audition,** ready herself, be's at the front line be Minnis's replacement, yes, no .... You don't make **miraculous possibility** like this up. you just, can't.

LBT did not initiate or report this investigation.

NOTE YESTERDAYS HEADLINES: Probe into Defence Force vessels deal: Bahamas $150m contract caught in Dutch inquiry

THE Netherlands is investigating alleged bribery involving the Christie administration’s acquisition of nine defence force vessels in 2014 and has been receiving co-operation from local officials for its investigation since June of last year.

Comrade Godson, it's prepping campaign message for party **nominate sister Loretta** to contest the **soon be vacated House seat for St. Anne's constituency,** yes, no ...

As Election time draws nearer all the skeletons will be creeping out the closet and trying to breathe a new political life. How much did she get paid to stab Minnis in he back again’ ‘Et tu Brute’?’

Man LBT did not initiate or report this investigation.

The country needs to have a FOIA. Also the country needs real investigative journalism.I find it strange the next major paper here locally has not carried this story.

This is what I call : "Constitutional Corruption" because no head of of state is approachable (like the Prime Minister & The Queen of England may be included to clear up her name) in terms of liability not even with the word " Trial" in order to confirm or verify the "Wrongdoings" with billions of dollars on detriment of present and future generations of taxpayer.
Constitutional because the government,entire justice system and also all those kaki-pants'people who swear the national pledge and rather than being on the right side of history,they are "Betrayors to the Nation" in total complicity with the corrupt politicians.

So did the government demand the $10 Million that was overpaid be returned with interest?

We are still waiting for LBT to account for her $100,000 per year constituency fund and $30,000 per year constituency HQ .......... for FIVE years ........ All $650,000 of it. Pray tell.

Godson ........ please defend LBT on that.
