CCA's day of reckoning draws nigh!!

Its clear that he sold a bill of goods to the powers that be and they bought it hook line and sinker, cause after all who in the current Gov cabinet, or any cabinet or the board or any board have the slightest idea of what is best for a power company let alone selection of its leader? The gov of the Bahamas has no place in the electricity generation business. How long will it take for the sucessive line of egotistical politicians learn that

Lets face it, these people are incompetent, from the Chairman and CEO all the way down. The only thing they are good at generating is excuses, it certainly isn't electrical power. Now they are blaming the weather, please. And whats even more hilarious are the new words and phrases they have introduced to their press release lexicon, "anomaly" and "generating assets". Adding fancy words and phrases to press releases doesn't change the fact that the entire management team at BPL are simply out of their depth.

I wholeheartedly agree with Rick Lowe. For a company that is having problems, and having successive losses is a sign of major problems, having to pay taxes almost guarantees business failure. If anything the government should have policies in place that tries to help such businesses, it would be a win-win for everyone. Additionally anyone in the construction business in this country can attest that profits as percentage of revenue is very low, therefore having to pay a tax on revenue as a apposed to profits makes it exceedingly difficult to survive

All this fancy talk of bond refinancing and the like is just a means to pay back for all the incompetent management and disastrous decisions successive management teams and government boards have made in the past 40 plus years. What will give the public confidence that the next 40 years will be any different? In all honesty the current board and management leadership isn't doing anything to inspire confidence that anything will change. Look at what has happened since the new leadership took over; the worst disaster in BPL's history, destroying a $100mil power plant with zero accountability. Then there was the BPL board fiasco, how that was handled says a whole lot about the capability of the decision makers. This does not bode well.

Omar must be a genius!! Becoming a foreman at the age of 14!. Wow. I wonder how did he get his certifications and training in just two years, he started construction at the age of 12. Getting the training and experience to become a construction foreman usually takes at least 5-7 years and that's after high school. It must have been very taxing on him, having to attend high school, trade school and work on construction sites at the same time. I see why they choose him for the job!!

Agreed, the appointment of Omar is a slap in the face of Bahamian contractors. They can't be serious

Sands is both a political and contracting light weight! No great loss, in fact no loss at all to either the FNM or the BCA!! Get a grip people. I can't believe what traction such a meaningless issue is getting!! Bahamian newspapers truly must have very little meaningful content to publish.

The appointment of Omar as Registrar give a clear indication on what this government think of contractors. They are not serious about regulating this industry much less setting it on a course to world class standards.

i couldn't agree more!
