Do you realize that this is how corruption happens? Bahamians need to stop saying its "ok" because theyre the "good guys" and start demanding accountability from everybody. Assume the charity misplaced 2 million dollars. How did the task force not realize 2 million was missing? Did they both have the same error? And if 2 million went missing, how they feed people? And if they could misplace 2, they HAD to be aware that theyd overestimated the money required to feed their area and should have immediately reported they needed less. They didn't

There's something and they know it

"*miscoded, not misappropriated” and the relevant NGO was not even aware the funds were in its account*"

Seriously? Well this seems to prove Mr Davis' point. Where was the oversight? 2milion dollars disappears and nobody wonders were it was until Brave Davis shows up 2 years later

The NGO should have had reports of X number of persons served totalling a dollar amount, add in their maintenance fee and then the oversight body should have asked, where's the excess 2 million we gave you last month? *2million??? Oh look there's 2 million right on my account! Who knew?*

**We need to stop allowing these, *we're good*, *it was a just a mistake* excuses and start holding everybody accountable or we'll never get rid of corruption. The bad guys will say, well you let the good guys do it, why you picking on me?**

"*Davis also claimed that one of the non-governmental organisations involved in the food programme had “close to $2m sitting in their bank accounts. Why?”*

*Well, if he’d asked that question of the NGO rather than in Parliament, he might have found the answer*"

**There seems to be a huge bias against Mr Davis here.**

There is literally no GOOD reason why any NGO should have two million sitting on their bank account from the food program.

We saw this exact same scenario with kanoo a few weeks ago with everyone saying *well...nobody stole money*. Their are serious fiduciary concerns when an entity holds large amounts of money for a 3rd party. One of those concerns is that you don't move the money around to fund your personal interests while noone is looking then put the money back with none the wiser.

Say for example that October salaries are short , well just take 200,000 out the account and pay it back on November 15th when we get a deposit from a donor. That is frowned upon everywhere in the financial world and in many places is illegal.

**This money from the food program was given out to cover EXACT expenses. There was an estimate on number of persons to be serviced and a maintenance fee for carrying out the work. NOBODY should have been able to profit 2 million off the exercise**. After the 3rd monthly report "according to the rules" of the program, someone should have pointed out, you said you'd service 1000 people per month but for the past quarter you're averaging 700. We're going to cut the stipend. Either return the balance **as we agreed in the contract** or we'll reduce next month's allotment by the difference

Davis is right on this one. **Fraud in disaster management is a well known risk**. Remember hurricane Andrew when all the fake contractors flooded Florida? Certainly when disaster hit the most immediate concern was feeding people, but in September 2021 nobody should have had 2 million dollars profit without an eyebrow raised

Well done

"*technical mumbo jumbo”*

Well thought out and strikingly accurate deep analysis

"*was blocked by Mr Sears and his Cabinet colleagues, fearful about the impact increased energy costs will have on businesses and households still struggling to recover from COVID-19.*"

I seriously doubt they care about the strain on consumers. This concern about diminishing political goodwill. Nobody stenching about increasing bus fares and customs duty hikes already completed, don't mind they said VAT was introduced with ultimate obj ed active of eliminating customs duties

Yup, the **4**th wave is over. It ended in October 2021.

"*There are some people who do not understand what is in the agreement*"

Thats a cop out. Its known that Bahamians don't read, if you are truly interested in educating Bahamians about the agreement have a forum. McAlpine said they have 10 questions. Answer the 10 questions before the meeting, The group can say whether the answers are sufficient then have the forum to relay the messaging on those questions. Anything else is deliberately obsfuscation and unworthy of a group claiming to have the public good at heart

You wrong

what did we pay for the software and did it ever work? From the public accounts it was just abandoned. The company then got another no-bid contract all while we had a 30million dollar **loan** to build capacity to do the exact same thing..build forms. How did that happen?
