Still can’t help but wonder why Eric Carey failed to vociferously speak out against this blatantly corrupt monopolistic deal when it was supposedly first conceived in 2022. Davis’s pretense that this most corrupt deal was justified by government's concern for the marine environment around the Exumas is truly laughable given that his government has never been the least bit concerned about all of the pollution the cruise ship industry has been spewing into our environment for decades.

And now both Davis and the extremely corrupt Chester the Jester have added Elon Musk's rocket boosters to the toxic cocktail mix of pollutants being spewed into our territorial seas and the air we breathe, all the while telling us and the rest of the world that their PLP government is a big proponent of the Green New Deal and efforts to stop climate change.

Davis had to rescind this monopolistic lease over Crown Land seabed areas commonly used for sea vessel anchorage or moorings around the Exumas because it was outrightly illegal to say the least. Furthermore, why should a group of his favoured cronies be entitled to greatly enrich themselves from such a monopoly?!

And let's not forget that the very corrupt and greedy Tony Ferguson takes a big cut of the profits generated by these corrupt Private-Public-Partnerships (PPPs) that he engineers and then cons Davis to approve. Tony sets himself up using many entities under his ownership and/or control to charge these PPPs with layer upon layer of management, administration, and custody fees of every kind imaginable that he and his insatiably greedy partners end up pocketing with no opportunity for anyone else to participate in the economic benefits of the people's property.

Bluntly put, Davis must stop listening to Tony Ferguson and the corrupt PPP schemes that he cooks up to unjustly enrich himself and his insatiably greedy cohorts. And government should have never given Tony absolute control over the people’s assets placed in the Sovereign Wealth Fund that he created for the purpose of feeding all kinds of hefty fees from these PPPs to his financial services entities.

This guy Tony even has the temerity to boast about the instrumental role he is playing in helping the insatiably greedy Snake and his band of marauders gain monopolistic power and control over our nation’s entire energy sector for mere pennies on the dollar of its true value to the Bahamian people, and with no regard to the exorbitant electricity bills that will follow for all consumers of electricity, not to mention the national security interests involved in granting such a monopoly to a group headed by the greedy likes of Snake.

I only had to see Tony Ferguson's name and the term Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) in The Tribune’s articles on this Bahamas Mooring subject to conclude that something very underhanded and illegal had happened here.

The three directors of Levant Advisors, namely Tony Ferguson, Antoine Bastian, and Prescott Adderley, bogusly claim on the Levant’s website that this newly formed firm manages and administers assets for their clients totalling over $3 billion. Tony Ferguson prides himself on his ability to con less financially literate individuals into thinking he is some kind of financial guru when in fact he is nothing more than a conniving scoundrel who is always looking to unjustly enrich himself by any deceitful and devious means possible. He is frankly an embarrassment to many other holders of the CFA designation in our community.

Tony has perfected the art of ingratiating himself with persons who share his great lust for power and wealth and who are willing to turn a blind eye to very real conflicts of interest and shady deal-making of the worst possible kind. These persons include our PM, Snake, and his Greek master who controls the Colina group of companies.

Hopefully Neil Hartnell will continue to vigorously follow-up on his investigations into the web of corruption behind this Bahamas Mooring scheme involving illegal activities of the greediest kind that were apparently stealthily born in the Office of The PM with the PM's full knowledge as a willing participant.

Our PM really needs to stop listening to Tony Ferguson and all of his corrupt schemes about how "government can PPP this and then PPP that" with Tony leading Davis around like a lost poodle on a leash. In foolishly listening to Tony's corrupt schemes, Davis now finds himself guilty of having wrongfully attempted to authorize seabed leases of Crown property in a monopolistic transaction that would have unjustly enriched his favoured cronies. That's patently wrong and reeks of corruption of the worst possible kind.

And Davis should have never sought to mischievously justify his wrongful (frankly, illegal) actions on this matter by using the pretense of environmental concerns. Such concerns lack even the slightest air of legitimacy given has great lack of concern about the pollution being spewed in our environment by the cruise ships and now toxic rocket boosters.

i.e. the return to earth of environmentally toxic rocket boosters that California and Florida have now banned from there coastal areas.

> FREE National Movement leader Michael Pintard said an administration he leads would not let rehired retirees “double dip” by receiving a pension and a salary and would publicise the re-engagement of any retiree, providing information about the duration of their contracts and the position they will fill.

>“This transparency measure will slam the door on backroom deals,” he said.

Typical Pintard. He says absolutely nothing about what he would do to prevent the need for such re-hirings in the first place, thereby giving younger qualified Bahamians an opportunity to assume the positions previously held by retirees. It almost sounds as if Pintard holds the view that our public education system is no longer able to provide Bahamians with the basic education needed to move through the ranks of the civil workforce to fill the more senior positions vacated by retirees. If that's true, he should tell us what, if anything, he intends to do about it if the FNM wins the next general election. We don't need lip service from Pintard followed by more of the same.

The double-dipping of rehired-retirees is a red herring to the more serious problems that need to be addressed to put an end to the need to rehire retirees in the first place. Put your thinking cap on Pintard. Talk alone is cheap!

This is something all of us wish no parent would ever experience. Truly sad. My condolences to the Ingraham family.

Cant't help but wonder what was the quid pro quo to get Eric Carey to go along with this blatantly corrupt monopolistic deal rather than strongly speaking out against it. Davis's pretense that this most corrupt deal is justified by government's concern for the marine environment around the Exumas is laughable given that his government has never been the least bit concerned about all of the pollution the cruise ship industry has been spewing into our environment for decades.

And now he has added Elon Musk's rocket boosters to the toxic cocktail mix of pollutants being spewed into our territorial seas and the air we breathe while telling us and the rest of the world that he is a big proponent of the Green New Deal and efforts to stop climate change.

Davis cannot possibly justify giving a monopolistic lease over Crown Land seabed areas commonly used for sea vessel anchorage or moorings around the Exumas. Why should a group of his favoured cronies be entitled to greatly enrich themselves from such a monopoly?! And let's not forget that the very corrupt and greedy Tony Ferguson takes a big cut of the profits generated by these corrupt Private-Public-Partnerships (PPPs) that he engineers and then cons Davis to approve.

Suggest you stop raping your companion ChiCom troll bot.

> "Tribune Business can also reveal that the address for serving Bahamas Moorings Company, No.3 Bayside Executive Park in western New Providence, is the same as that for two entities playing a key role in the Government’s energy reforms - Bahamas Grid Company, which now controls New Providence’s energy grid, and Island Power Producers, the company that will supply energy to cruise ships docked in Nassau.

>The address is the home of Levant Advisors ......, which appears to be a newly-formed boutique financial services firm. Its website lists Levant’s principals as Anthony Ferguson, the company’s founder who is also CFAL chief, and Antoine Bastian, the Genesis Fund Services head.

>Both men are heavily involved with the Office of the Prime Minister...."

I only had to see Tony Ferguson's name and the term public-private-partnership (PPP) in this article to conclude that something underhanded and illegal has happened here.

The three directors of Levant Advisors according to *https://levantadvisors.bs/management/* are Tony Ferguson, Antoine Bastian and Prescott Adderley. They bogusly claim on their website to manage and administer assets for their clients totalling over $3 billion.

Hopefully Neil Hartnell will see fit to vigorously follow-up on his initial investigations into this most grave matter involving illegal activities of the greediest kind that were stealthily born in the Office of The PM with the PM's full knowledge as a willing participant. Davis really needs to stop listening to Tony Ferguson and all of his hogwash about how "we can PPP this and then PPP that" with Tony leading the PM around like a lost poodle on a leash. Davis is guilty of having wrongfully attempted to authorize seabed leases of Crown property in a monopolistic transaction that would have his favoured few cronies unjustly enriched. That's patently wrong and wreaks of corruption of the worst possible kind.

Davis should not now seek to somehow mischievously try justify his wrongful (frankly, illegal) actions on this matter by using the pretense of environmental concerns. Such concerns lask even the slightest air of legitimacy given has lack of concern about the pollution of our environment by cruise ships and now boosters.

Don't worry.......The Tribune will tell you our nation's murder count for the year to date is only 12 and that certain murders are really not murders at all by the government's definition of a murder.

I hope you're being cynical in some of your remarks here, otherwise you have a warped way of seeing some things.
