This occurrence is widespread throughout the government corporations and civil service. This gentleman should be sued for the fraud he did and those funds recovered from him and those workers.

The workers should also be terminated also. This has gone on for years in this country.

The creditors have the right to collect this debt. That excuse is non-sensical.

However behind this story, is the issue of ' crony capitalism. The Bahamas at times operate like the Philippines under Marcos and Indonesia under Suharto.

Congrats to the President -Elect Joe Biden. The third time is a charm.

Congrats to Vice-President -Elect Kamala Harris. She represents something that has aided and driven development in the United States, immigration. A father who is an economist from Jamaica and a mother who was a researcher from India. The browning of America. Also a white JJewish husband.

Mr.Trump please concede defeat and leave office with some grace. Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush did it.

The Bahamas had since 1962 to prepare for the opening of Cuba. That is how long the embargo has been in place. Cuba is no threat to the United States. President Obama realized that.

President Trump is a disgrace. A bigot, narcissistic serial liar. He should simply concede defeat and prepare to leave office.

This is quite a common occurrence in the civil service. A gentleman said on a radio show he said that when he returned from university in the 1970's.

This is one of the reasons, why a lot of parents encourage their children not to return to the Bahamas after they complete their education aboard.

That resolution to borrow those funds for BPL should have been included in the budget. That was done separately to hide the size of the deficit.

The FNM like the PLP are using sleight of hand tricks to hide the deficit. Also don't be surprise if a management company is brought back to run BPL.A lot of external lenders may insist on that with the company's proposed debt. There are lenders who don't have any great confidence in their management team.

Never was a PLP .Big supporter of Hubert Ingraham. Ingraham is the best prime minister this country will ever have.

Why don't you explain who Meyer Lansky and Louis Chesler were?

All over the island of New Providence, there are abandoned and derelict vehicles with licence plates attached. Ask the persons at the Road Traffic Department, how many vehicles are not on the road. They can't tell you.

The Road Traffic Department don't even have an inventory of plates. So they can't even tell what happen to those plates. The Road Traffic Department should have been modernized decades ago. That process was stymied.

Money was indeed stolen from the Road Traffic Department. But not in the millions of dollars as political propagandists as you allege. Also how was the money laundered through the banking system. Because any large deposit of suspicious cash should be reported and investigated by the financial intelligence unit.

I don't support neither of the two major political parties because they sell the same dreams to the Bahamian people. Like a young businessman ,what you see in the Bahamas is a failure of systems for years.

Persons like you is just repeat political garbage. Don't understand why things have to be done.

This same problem happened under the PLP government also. Governments come and go, yet many problems persist.

There are at least 12 international airports scattered through the islands of the Bahamas to maintain. Some of those airports don't generate the revenues to maintain them. But most Nassauvians are unaware of that.

Bahamians love politics and power but don't understand governance and management.
