This doesnt make sense. A consultant is a consultant, someone not a member of staff that you're paying for a service. If you hire an IT vendor that's hiring a "*consultant*". If you hire a foreign lawyer who has expertise in an area we dont that's a "*consultant*". Hiring someone to manage the landfill using an expertise we dont have or to offer advice os a consultant.
You could class them as a contractor or a vendor the category is up to you, at the end of the day it all means the same, the govt has found more people to give money to for "*something*"
"*every time you see this consultancy line, people think it’s consultants, think you’re hiring consultants*"
He said JDL was not collecting any govt revenue, no customs fees, not doing any inspections they were only contracted to *construct* the air freight terminal, "*that's it*". A leaked memo sent by JDL to customs brokers referencing fees however seemed to hint at a greater management function involving collection of govt revenue. If customs officers would be responsible for collecting fees and JDL is responsible for construction only, theres no fee for them to collect from brokers
So the govt has alot of explaining to do. The real investigation needed is, was this freight management function entered into at the time Simon Wilson uttered "*that's it*"
Actually **Culmer spoke out long ago.** People just forget. when asked what type of candidates the FNM was looking for for the leadership race (post-Minnis, pre-Pintard) Culmer provided a list of wholesome qualities, then as if a light bulb went on he added "*and we dont need no petty connivin people*", was very clear who he was referring to
Dr Minnis is alledged to have sidelined many people some of them good workers. That action says more about Minnis than the person sidelined . His party chairman when asked what type of person the party was looking for leadership race candidates said "*we dont need any petty people*", it was clearly a reference to Dr Minnis. I cringe to think what further disruptive snipper behaviour will be seen after Sarurdays vote
Apologies are hard, **especially** when the apology is called for because someone offended you and your response to the offense was less than ideal. Now you are obligated to *humble* yourself to the person who offended you as they gloat. The very definition of difficult. But that is what you sometimes have to do.
The statement given by Mr Wilson was reported as an apology but it was anything but ss he apologized to everybody except the person whom he offended. That's not an apology
Actually that's wrong. Investigative reporters dig in to uncover pieces of a puzzle. And then they put all the pieces together. That's how the world learned about FTX conducting a multimillion dollar fraud under the nose of the Securities Commission
Have to dig into any discrepancies between today's and the last reporting and whether a reasonable senior official would have reported the previous details and taken over a month(?) to report corrections(?) with no outright statement of "*I have to correct the record...*" when 25m is in the balance. Its not good enough to say I didnt "intentionally" mislead, that's actually **exactly** what Salame said, the judge gave him 7 years in prison because the "*pattern*" of activity belied the intent.
but the no bid air freight contract was 25m. We dont know how many millions it will cost us to not have had a contest for the best provider of air freight services
"*He further called for Mr Wilson to undergo mandatory anger management therapy or conflict resolution training in addition to a mandatory suspension or dismissal from his duties*"
Someone needs to intervene. Noone is helping him by putting this on *Youri made me do it*. What some other reporter should be investigating is whether this behaviour is truly out of character or is it something staff are regularly subjected to with no recourse. The best thing his friends can advise him to do is, take a month break and go to anger management classes. It will be beneficial to him in the long run.
