As I read the article my first thought was, did they put out this information before? Maybe they did, but I didnt read the article, I certainly havent heard anyone speak on these details, even Zhivargo Laing who is very meticulous about things such as this. So to say they are disappointed with the knee jerk reaction... I dont know what other reaction anyone faced with a 6% increase on already exorbitant bills with no information other than there'll be an increase would have.

For GBs sake I hope what theyve projected is in fact what will happen. The projections are backed by a hedge strategy meaning theyll be able to predict fuel costs, they cant predict sales or disasters.

BEC on the other hand is covering up everything because they dont want to be graded. Including who this mysterious Island Power is. I see the Tribunes article speaking of performing internet searches, did the same last week and could find nothing on this company. For our sake I hope it's not FOCOL and Pike or some other friend of the administration who hobbled some white faces together.

Dramatically very very bad sign, since the failure of the first milestone of the plan, *end of load shedding with introduction of two new generators*, theyve not told us any other milestones. This means they dont trust the plan because plans for our infrastructure, under a 25 year contract, are not a secret

I've noted that their plan has already been proven to be way off the mark.

Why do I say that? Brave Davis gave a speech from Parliament where he spoke about the end of load shedding and lower Bill's by July. In addition to that he created an entire marketing campaign with well produced videos of him being the energy super hero. This was a done deal... in his mind.

This means somebody, convinced him this would be the case. This convincing happened from as far back as last year. The July end of load shedding date also coincided with the arrival of two new generator purchased by FOCOL.

That part is important. The two new generators were likely thought to be **the** solution or at minimum a major part of the solution. Because no politician would speak about having solved electricity with major outages still being the norm.

And if the new generators were the solution Its failed. Theyve under analyzed the problem and sold a dream to cabinet. But it's only bad news for us, because no matter how much it costs to earn a profit they have the right to charge that price for three years. They will not lose and PM Davis will be out of office earning his dividends.

In a weird turn of events, Minnis also thought new generators was the solution. That also failed. Drammatically.

Maybe they were tourists, heard the Obeah Mans song and were looking for "Cat Island woman". Or... maybe not...

Exuma is getting massive attention under DPM Chester Cooper, likewise Cat Island is receiving attention under PM Brave Davis and this is part of the problem. Its unclear how much remains undone outside of *golden goose* areas of those constituencies

**The people in power, with power, direct all resources to their constituency while robbing constituencies of internal party rivals and opposition members of basic infrastructure upgrades. It leads to decades long cycles of stalled projects and collapsing infrastructure**.

**This is what we are witnessing year after year, the effects of simple "politically authorized neglect"**

Did someone tell Mr Urquiza that the head of local CDU is currently under investigation for voice notes alledged to be of him negotiating payment with an offender to make a major robbery case disappear? And that said robber and 3 of the alledged accomplices have been murdered in the past 8 months post recording of voice note? With the latest being murdered just 2 or 3 months ago, in his neighbourhood with children who witnessed the incident reporting that the shooters jumped out of a govt vehicle and were wearing police boots? Also that said conversation with robber mentioned collusion with a lawyer and referenced a previous case that the alledged police official had successfully made dissapear? And that the police hierarchy and national security Minister have refused to have an I dependent body oversee the investigation? And that the person who released the tapes, Metayer, aired a facebook live segment where he dropped other names as having involvement? And that Metayer was the target of a murder attempt as he was airing other claims?

Did anybody detail this case for Mr Urquiza and its massive **implications well beyond** a single 1.4million robbery case?
