KP Turnquest (Minister of Finance) is the real problem here for having allowed, and possibly endorsed, Marlon Johnson's appointment as Financial Secretary.

And that does not even include the many more millions of dollars of credit losses private sector businesses have incurred as a result of corrupt politicians and their cronies very deliberately intimidating business owners in all sorts of subtle ways. And then add to that the bribes that had to be paid to just stay in business as a result of all the corruption surrounding the issuance of permits, licenses, certifications, etc. that a business had to obtain from various government departments and agencies.

**the 'legal risk' straw that broke the camel's back:**

*Repost from yesterday:* It is now quite clear that key senior officials of PowerSecure were engaged in serious illegal acts to the extent the secret list of "do not disconnect" elites has on it Bahamas government officials responsible for negotiating, entering into and later varying the terms of the BPL/BEC management contract. PowerSecure's misconduct in this matter is tantamount to having bribed various officials of a foreign government by wrongfully and illegally granting them outrageously generous credit and other privileges they should not have received under the terms of the contractual relationship. The quid pro quo was PowerSecure's ability to maintain and occasionally vary for its benefit its highly lucrative contractual relations with bpl/bec. Carl Bethel as our Attorney General should be filing a formal complaint under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act with appropriate officials of the U.S. Government - The Department of State and the Office of the U.S. Attorney General . It is unfathomable that any reputable U.S. corporation in its dealings with a foreign government would allow such a "secret list of elite", largely comprised of politically exposed persons, to be kept.

The "do not trouble" for non-payment of National Insurance contributions is also one of the more popular secret lists for privileged elites!

Just like Miller doesn't think there's anything wrong with BPL's 'elite' list, he didn't think there was anything wrong being in business with his son as a drug dealer. His only regret, his supply of cash dried up when son got murdered (executed) in a drug deal gone bad.

Ministry of Finance needs to assess and collect all of the property tax that Sir Snake and his many companies should have paid over the last three decades. Literally millions of dollars to be had there alone!

Why should he? Even Minnis doesn't know this!

I would recommend the cave also be equipped with a shot gun, a rifle and plenty of ammo.
