Okay....time will tell, but giving her the benefit of doubt right now.

This is one person who should never ever be given the benefit of doubt.

So ............. if the present BPL is a disaster to manage, and the workers are leeching the Government.

How will maintaining the status quo make sense moving forward????

We can only assume that the workers will either be fired or retooled and the structure of BPL management will have to change in order for the THREE stakeholders to be satisfied with taking this BPL albatross on.

So this Minister is not telling the FULL truth to the Bahamian people.

No layoffs - no bailout! $120million in unfunded pension. How many f'in employees work there? Based on that figure there must be around 10 thousand people. One must assume that BPL have paid a good portion of the pension plan to date and that only a small portion is outstanding. If this is not the case then there is no way in hell this company should be saved.
What government and BPL has done to the Bahamian people over the years is simply CRIMINAL!!!

Okay assuming these numbers are correct , there is no way anyone could take over this debt and make a profit .BPL debt will be moved on to the national debt and passed on to our children and grand children through taxes . Then with the amount of money that has to be put in to make it reliable and with only a customer base of 400,000 , if you count the big hotels as multiply customers , there is no way there can be much rate reductions and the new partners make money .

Lock up ya ma! You know who I is??????

Comrades', it is starting to hide messaging sound like you will not have to worry about losing continuous BPL connectivity --- Due to late payment disconnection. --- Cause If you can't/don't wish to pay your soared high $$'s light bill on time. --- Including, all long past due payments, help is closeby, --- Must checkout out the PLP oligarchy, who's looking like they done started to build up their general election war chest, --- [BPL projection, calls for an unaccountable $70 million in other costs] --- cash stash. --- You couldn't make it up, now, could you. --- Yes?

Every time they open their mouths they are lying

Is this the lady whom couldn't say 1 hundred and something million etc?

@ComradeBahamianSon, come do the arithmetic --- How many attempts at 1 hundred and somethin' million, does it taketh to [Jobeth], spoketh a Billion somethin' dollars. --- Yes?

What happen to the dang money BPL been raking over the last 18 months with the sliding scale increased heaped on the the backs of Bahamians. Was that not supposed to be used to pay off the Government and shell Bahamas, the fuel supplier. Thats 100m we the public has yet to get a n accounting explanation for.......SMT

Gone to multimillion dollar no-bid, no approval contracts to friends.
Giving this government money is NOT a solution to our problems.

The PLP started the Numbers & VAT gravy train ............ Go figger

They only see the Treasury as a PLP coffer .......... The masses pay for their New Day sweetheart deals

[Not so simple to evict a maintenance contractor from the premises!]  --- @SheepRunner, apparently so do the popoulaces' --- Pay, [and handsomely,] for maintenance at The Colony's government owned/occupied buildings, facilities and compounds. --- Yes?

Privatization and sale of shares in a monopoly is the way to go. it brings equality to the labour/company relationship.. as it is now, government is liable to ransom and we see it every contract renewal but privatization forces acknowledgement of reality.. however, since govt has messed BPL up, unless they are a minority shareholder in any kind of partnership, we'll eventually find ourselves in this same state again.
