PRIME Minister Philip “Brave” Davis said he will review the revelation that the daughter of Water and Sewerage Corporation executive chairman Sylvanus Petty has a contract with the company.
Mr Petty acknowledged the contract under cross-examination in the Adrian Gibson corruption trial last week.
“Certain things have come out in the cross-examination which we look at and review, and we will report thereafter,” Mr Davis told The Tribune on Friday.
“I’m getting all the facts, and I’d be able to respond to that once I get all the information.”
When asked if he discouraged awarding contracts to people known by members of the WSC board, Mr Petty said on Thursday he did not because “everyone in The Bahamas was family”.
His daughter has a contract worth $26,000.
Last week, he said the contract for the company his daughter is involved with, Mainscape Maintenance, never came before the board because it is a small contract.
Free National Movement chairman Dr Duane Sands said Mr Petty should resign or be forced to resign his post. He said a full investigation should be launched to determine how many similar contracts have been issued under the current chairman.

Will be reviewed? Dude stop talking crazy. That guy and all whom knew about it should be held responsible for this unethical breach. This is the Bahamian way and our culture. Dis we tings. We are a corrupt nation with only the top truly benefiting.

Wait, what are you reviewing, again? Didn't the man confess before a court that his daughter had a contract?

This will be another Cornish style gathering of facts, dotting the I's and crossing the T's, more sound and fury with little substance.
Out of Petty's own mouth, "I see nothing wrong with nepotism." Brave dem obviously singing from the same hymnal.
