"*for the task force to now be the subject of scrutiny is “disappointing”, Mr Smith said when contacted yesterday.*"
Its **not** ludicrous.
I dont think there's any accusation that the objective wasnt "good". However **one of the universal problems** with disaster relief is, **scammers use the great need and the urgency to make quick bucks**. Dorian and COVID are no exceptions. We have statements from Mrs Larson herself describing ways people tried to *get over* on the system.
Rather than outrage, there should be an effort to cooperate to show that your organization was not a part of any abuse
Its their country. **I understand some persons in the delegation got in serious trouble for behaving as you suggest**, like we free to do anything we want in their country irrespective of **their** cultural norms.
Im sure you've seen Hillary Clinton wear a scarf when she visited Muslim countries. She did not say I'm Secretary of State of America. If she from Great America with nuclear bombs and battleships can abide by customs, who are we?
Yes I heard Diggiss say the budget for the sustainable climate change structure had to be adjusted. That would not affect the plan or the budget for Bahamas Day.
And you know the funny thing about plans in changing environments? They get updated and then reported on at regular intervals. Halkitis is saying it'll take him a couple of weeks to produce something. This is unacceptable. Hotel, food, plane ticket, ground transportation, per diem, wardrobe, freight and packaging fees. They must have an approved list of who travelled, in what capacity and for how long
(Id like to know how we went from addressing climate change with sustainable solutions, directly addressing the goal of the expo, to it being solely a marketing project and song and dance showcase)
If more people understood planning they would realize the FNM has everything to do with this. This was 6 years of "*preparation*".
The FNM should be able to have a press conference and pull out their plan dated January **2018** and from it read from their Human resources Plan. It would list all of the roles needed to pull this project off from start to finish including a full listing of the roles needed for Bahamas Day. They would be able to show that they had specific criteria for selection of every single person going on the trip and they would then be able to pull out the Budget associated with this specific item. They could then show how the PLP went off the rails and just selected some people they know with no kind of plan.
The fact that we have to wait for anyone to produce any report is very telling. At minimum they should have been able to say from Friday at 9AM, we havent consolidated January's numbers as yet, but here's the monthly status update for December

"*What we don’t want to do in this discussion is sideline these groups,” Mr Pintard said of the NGOs, “or cause them to be caught up in a political drama when their goal is to meet residents’ needs. The last thing donors want is to be caught up in a political stink. The Government ought to be careful not to alienate such groups.”*"
Think this statement is incorrect. Donors are very keen on transparency and accountability. They want proof that their money was spent on what they donated the money for. Theyll be the last people to say dont make a big deal of not being able to account for money
Pintard has a very hard road to walk. He will be defending much of the nonsense and lack of transparency of the previous administration. My advice is dont try to defend it. Admit the failings and move forward. 60000 people didnt show up to the polls, nobody will be surprised... well the 150 year Paradise Island land lease then the Lucayan *completely unnecessary 2000 acres of beach front property sweetener* caused a bit of a jump in the collective heart rate
He wasn't aware that he couldnt charge 70% interest??? Who charges 70% interest other than the mafia?? But they is add fingers toes and "sometimes" the blood vessels around your heart too
