He's actually 0 - 5. You neglected to count three other very costly cases of great significance to the public that were lost because of his bungling incompetence and the outright stupidity of certain parliamentarians.

The government is not the only source of funds Chucky. Those who have become multi-millionaires many times over, as a result of their crimes against the state that have kept the public purse depleted for decades, are also an important potential source of funds and we, as a people, should not be dismissive of future efforts by our country to reclaim these funds. Even Red China, Hong Kong and Switzerland are now cracking down on the corrupt political elite of other countries who are known to be hiding the massive amounts of funds they have swindled through bribes, kickbacks and outright theft from the taxpayers of their respective home countries.

The English QC was much too seriously handicapped by the overwhelming short comings of our pathetic criminal justice system. The poor bank teller who steals money from the bank to buy the very expensive medications her ill child so desperately needs ends up going to prison for years. Meanwhile our corrupt politicians are able to literally steal mega-millions of dollars from the taxpayers without fear of ever having to do any prison time. What a joke!

The biggest single impediment to fair investment returns for minority Bahamian investors are the broker-dealers like CFAL, Leno, Royal-Fidelity and Benchmark that wedge themselves between these smaller investors and the investee enterprise (e.g. Global Ports Holding) in which the other larger (and often controlling) stakeholders hold their publicly listed shares and/or debt. The broker-dealers do this by creating a mutual fund or other investment vehicle that the minority Bahamian investors must invest in in order to participate in the earnings of the underlying investee enterprise. The Bahamas Investment Fund talked about by Tony Ferguson is a classic example. And because the mutual fund or other investment vehicle created and controlled by the broker-dealer is laced with fees of one kind or another charged by the broker-dealer, the investor's returns from having to indirectly participate in the underlying investee enterprise are greatly reduced.

For decades now the Bahamian regulators - Securities Commission, BISX and Central Bank - have enabled local broker-dealers to fleece Bahamian investors by not requiring investee enterprises like Global Ports Holding to offer and issue their shares or debt directly to the minority Bahamian investors under the same terms and conditions that they are offered and issued to the other directly participating stakeholders.

Forget Bannister's assertion that we are paying the price for BPL's failings.

Truth be told we are now paying much too dear a price for the failings of the corrupt Minnis-led FNM government, especially Minnis and Bannister as regards all of the shenanigans going on with the many heavily padded mega-million dollar contracts involving BPL/BEC .

Minnis and Bannister are the apex of all of the corruption now going on at BPL/BEC involving mega-mega millions of dollars.

And just think, a very big chunk of the funds to be raised from the proposed very costly rate increase bonds would be used to fund the currently unfunded outrageously generous pension benefits owing to these same BPL/BEC union members who have been allowed by our corrupt politicians (PLP and FNM alike) to ruin our country.

Always much better for them to need rescuing while sailing to our shores from the north as opposed to the south.
