Mister.....stop trying ing this distraction. Go fix this, it's your job.....stop whining. What we want to be sorted out immediately is Pintard, Cornish, Bell, Cooper.....and the doggone shanty towns. Send those illegal Chinese workers home too.....talking nonsense about how nobody knows how those Chinese got here.

Correction....not Pintard....Gibson

So true.

Just stupid how this dude whining about what he should simply fix. Trying to tell me they so backward that they don't have a system of the people they paying?

There has been a lot of 'accidentally on purpose' payments over the last 50 years. That is how corruption works. Clamp down on this to your peril.

Simon Wilson just got a big payout from the Treasury.

And the people don't know how much of our Treasury money that he pocketed.

But he is comfortable picking on the small FI grunt workers who can't defend themselves.

Sick bastard.

@Sheeprunner12. This problem with the payroll system was being dealt with by John Rolle. The reason previous attempts fail was resistance and lack of buy-in by certain civil servants. Since every thing in your simple mind PLP and FNM, John is married to the late Chuck Virgill's niece. This is really an attempt to stave off this country heading to bankruptcy and modernize the payroll system. If Hubert Ingraham remained as prime minister,he would support this program.

And we march on with hands outstretched to get that free gubmint money towards a nearer clearer failed state. This is not the new way, it has been going on for near on 50 years now. Dollar devaluation soon come, then you cry.

The problems with the government payroll has been ongoing for fifty years. John Rolle, when he was acting as financial secretary attempted to deal with this.

The lack of efficiency and waste in the government is absolutely mind-boggling!

I know an individual who worked for the government that went to clock in at work every day and went back home for years. This person was paid every month but hadn't hit a lick for decades and is now collecting retirement benefits!

Corruption is rampant, people caught "stealing" face no accountability.

Our leaders should be held 100% responsible for how the people's taxes are mismanaged just like any company management.

Whoever stops this handing out of money will lose the next election. Even though the current gov't knows they will lose the next election they still will not do what is right. The exact same thing happened under the previous gov't. They knew the things that had to be corrected but they didn't do them even though everyone told them they would be gone in the election.
Too many civil servants, taxi and bus drivers and businesses large and small depend on this 'free' money.

They should start tracking down the people that TIEFED and charge them to recover the money. It's not that complicated.

Yet the government wants to treat honest taxpayers like criminals, killing us with regulations and red tap to drain every penny they can get out of our pockets and you have this going on.

#20 years too late ...

CORRECTION......50 years too late!

Instead of tracking down the money that goes missing through errors you have no problem threatening small and medium size businesses with more red tape, higher fees and withholding their business licences.

So, how is it that old age pensioners have to verify they ain't dead every six months or have their pension cut off but ya'll paying people you have no record of for twenty years?

Sounds like yinna been paying into a couple of select "employee" bank account for all this time.

Every person who works for the Government has a supervisor ....... Who holds the supervisors responsible???

This is another PLP cop out by Simon Wilson.

No sensible person should accept this BS.

Ineptocracy

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

So how do we retrieve the money? Oh, let us increase VAT. Let the stupid people pay for it while we celebrate 50 years of independence with fancy parties and Balls.

Brave need to have his balls squeezed

What kind of bs is this? How does this abuse go undetected or better yet unaddressed for years. Simple checks and balances. Why is there always a story why money walked out the door? Everybody involved from the PM all the way down the line needs to be fired. Anyone who received payment that they clearly knew they shouldn't have should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

We're running deficit after deficit every year because of a huge civil service payroll. Now we hear this bs about error. Error my backside! This was designed to.work exactly how it's working. You noticed Simon Wilson didn't say anything about determining the exact amount of the supposed decades long errors or about recovering the funds. This is GROSS, FLAGRANT ABUSE. Every citizen or resident who pays taxes need to demand the dismissal of everybody. Every PM before the current one needs to give an account for this and the current one as well. As you see Simom said they were aware of these issues for years. Unbelievable!

In addition to firing, some folks need to be flogged for this.
