"*Davis also claimed that one of the non-governmental organisations involved in the food programme had “close to $2m sitting in their bank accounts. Why?”*

*Well, if he’d asked that question of the NGO rather than in Parliament, he might have found the answer*"

**There seems to be a huge bias against Mr Davis here.**

There is literally no GOOD reason why any NGO should have two million sitting on their bank account from the food program.

We saw this exact same scenario with kanoo a few weeks ago with everyone saying *well...nobody stole money*. Their are serious fiduciary concerns when an entity holds large amounts of money for a 3rd party. One of those concerns is that you don't move the money around to fund your personal interests while noone is looking then put the money back with none the wiser.

Say for example that October salaries are short , well just take 200,000 out the account and pay it back on November 15th when we get a deposit from a donor. That is frowned upon everywhere in the financial world and in many places is illegal.

**This money from the food program was given out to cover EXACT expenses. There was an estimate on number of persons to be serviced and a maintenance fee for carrying out the work. NOBODY should have been able to profit 2 million off the exercise**. After the 3rd monthly report "according to the rules" of the program, someone should have pointed out, you said you'd service 1000 people per month but for the past quarter you're averaging 700. We're going to cut the stipend. Either return the balance **as we agreed in the contract** or we'll reduce next month's allotment by the difference

Davis is right on this one. **Fraud in disaster management is a well known risk**. Remember hurricane Andrew when all the fake contractors flooded Florida? Certainly when disaster hit the most immediate concern was feeding people, but in September 2021 nobody should have had 2 million dollars profit without an eyebrow raised

Looks like you have some bias too maybe? Did you or anyone ask the NGO for a statement or are we all just speculators now?

I don't have any bias here. I love the work the NGO's do, at the same time, I don't trust anybody with money, not even my own self. Somebody need to say what kind of error this was that misplaced 2 million dollars. What was this "account" that the money was a moved to used for? Everybody seems to be getting away with holding onto millions in govt money

**You also missed the point of accountability. THE Food program and the NGO'S only response should have been "*here's our record of what we did month by month***"

Totally agree with this editorial. Davis must think people are stupid, lay out the evidence if something was done illegally and let the law take it's course. People are tired of these games!

It is easy to make innuendos against things without providing evidence. The base Davis is catering too will get all railed up without any evidence and trumpet it as truth. Educated people, who Davis does not cater too can see through this ruse right away.

But that is what you get when you put people like Davis with no leadership qualifications in positions of authority. You get same old stuff. Nothing new here.

Do you realize that this is how corruption happens? Bahamians need to stop saying its "ok" because theyre the "good guys" and start demanding accountability from everybody. Assume the charity misplaced 2 million dollars. How did the task force not realize 2 million was missing? Did they both have the same error? And if 2 million went missing, how they feed people? And if they could misplace 2, they HAD to be aware that theyd OVERESTIMATED the money required to feed their area and should have immediately reported they needed less. They didn't

If it is so much corruption, why come to the House with innuendos. Take the case to the Supreme Court and charge the NGO. But the evidence in the public domain.

But no, doing an u=innuendo and then never dealing with the matter after is all about political show to cater to people who cannot think for themselves.

If the money is in a bank account and verified, how it is "Missing"? You just look like you are trying to create political mischief for mischief sake.

Political mischief? Come again please, I don't support any of them. My point today yesterday and always is don't tell me to trust you because you good. And don't tell me it was just a mistake. Similarly don't tell me you need 31m to finish the stadium and trust you its going to do wonders for the economy. Show me information.

It's "missing" because it was sitting in as an account and nobody asked *where this money come from?*, nobody notice. I'd be very surprised if HFH is accustomed to having 2m sitting around doing nothing in any account. Management nor the board of directors ever looked at the financial statements???

LOL, you must be kidding. PM Davis has shown more leadership qualities than our last PM (Mr. Dictator). I think you should call yourself Bias and not Educated.
