Well good luck with that. For our current political leader that would be like a leopard changing his spots because he was never known for rolling up his sleeves but miracles can happen.

It is preposterous that this audit with its limited scope will costs more than the annual external audit of NIB and the fact that it may be as much as 5 times as much is criminal and should be the grounds for further investigations.

Did I read the above correctly that the auditor is the PM's brother? That must be a mistake.

@SP, so your arguement goes as follows, there is systemic corruption in this country, NIB is a cash cow with typical slack government oversight and controls therefore, Cargill is also corrupt and dishonest. Maybe in North Korea or Syria that line of reasoning, with all of its gaps, would make sense, but in the Bahamas our system and natural justice is still predicated on the theory that a person is innocent until proven guilty. i don't know Cargill and I am interested in the truth coming out, but this process will never get to the truth and maybe that is the intent of the parties involved because how this situation was handled makes no sense to me.

@getrightbahamas, is that really necessary. Can you not make you point without calling names?

What a mess this is turning out to be. In the end we would have spent over a million dollars on this report which I suspect will be adjudged inherently flawed with respect to its substantive findings, methodology and procedural execution. What the Minister and the auditors seem to have forgotten was that this was suppose to be an investigation in the context of an employment contract. We still have no answers to the burning questions most Bahamians would like answers to. This could not have been handled any worse by the auditors and the government if both were deliberately trying to screw it up. What a waste and a shame.

@getrightbahamas, i don't know what the facts are here, however, I do know that to judge someone as guilty, calling them a criminal or accusing them of stealing millions of dollars before even giving them an opportunity to defend themselves against such accusations appears to be inconsistent with natural law and justice. I don't know Mr. Cargill, but put yourself in his shoes. You have been given a certain amount of days to respond to accusations made against you in your professional capacity in the context of your employment, however, before the expiration of that period and before you have an opportunity to defend yourself the accusations are made public with only one side of the story. That ain't right! We need to ascertain the facts, however, that will now become impossible because this matter will now be resolved in the courts and the issues will go way beyond the particular facts noted in the report.

Wow! Has Keod Smith lost his mind? He needs to educate me on the distinction between a public beach and a beach owned by Black Bahamians. Obviously there is not much going on at the law practice for him and his goons to be out there every day. Then on the other hand who would hire him other than the likes of Nygard.

There are significant breaks in the reasoning that holds your arguments together. You may want to edit your post to fix these.

Do You really believe that?
