I agree it is time to name and shame. And Prosecute those responsible for mis-handling the depositors and investors money. Also those responsible for injecting our NIB funds into this failing institution, and facilitating a massive cover up of fraud and cover up of the whole fiasco. Depositors, get out before it is too late (if not already).
Or we could end up with the corrupt PLP winning again being propped up by Nygard, Sebas, Flowers, Sir Snake, The Chinese, Big Bad Brad, etc. It has always been speculated that the Mosko's, being the savvy business people that they are, support both sides. So are the power hungry, mega rich supporters of either party, really any different. Mudda, still waiting to hear who you want to run the country. It seems like only the Almighty will meet your standards.
John, we have witnessed many times over, what the PLP thinks of court decisions. If they are not in their favour, they ignore them. The Government is the majority shareholder in the Bank, but the minority shareholders, could institute action against the management and Board who approved the loans in question. At very least Resolve, and the Bank should be forced to sell the assets being held as security, as well as obtain judgement for as much personal assets as possible. It is ludicrous to think that you can owe millions of dollars on property that you still own, and run a business in same, all the while laughing at the Bank, holding the loans, and the shareholders, whose investments you have destroyed. In a "civilized" actual democracy, some of these, including the Management and Board, would be facing criminal charges and incarceration. This will never happen here.
These observers are going to get a good lesson on how to run an election without an accurate voters registration list; how not to seal ballot boxes properly, and how to make them disappear for a few hours. Chaos and confusion are perfect distractions for voter fraud.
Well mudda, you are correct. The shenanigans occurred under both the FNM and PLP. No doubt about it. McWeeny was hired under the FNM and while having little commercial bank experience, came in as senior management. The majority of the bad loans relative to those with political connections, are however, PLP MP's and cronies. It has been stated in the press that Leslie Miller, Obie Wilchcombe, Pat Mortimer, are some of these offenders. Jarrett's political appointment to chairman has always been questioned, as it is rumored that he too, obtained a mortgage at BOB, which ended up delinquent.
Yes Every Bahamian matters birdie. But if the company that you are employed by, and the government of the Bahamas has been ordered by the Supreme Court of our country to close down, you are employed with the wrong company. You expect to justify the callous ignoring of the court instructions by your PLP government, with the employment of 100 workers. Get real. Your government will pay them unemployment and give them politically connected jobs. Then you will be happy.
So, if all of the political parties, and their leaders are corrupt, what do we do "well mudda, an tell it"? Will we continue on with the same PLP, or try the FNM, or DNA. Or do we call on mother England to rescue us from our "corrupt" politicians, and tell them we can't run our country; so come in and take over like in Turks and Caicos? What are the solutions? We will never have the "good" winning candidates from the FNM join hands with the "good" winning candidates of the PLP, and form a unified coalition. Should we do away with political parties altogether, and go back to the way it was prior to the UBP days. I, for one, believe that the FNM is the best option right now. They MAY prove to be corrupt, OR NOT, but the plp have proven to be corrupt.
Well mudda, I hear you saying think, think. think. So should it be an honest "dimwitted" Minnis, or a proven ineffective, and corrupt, Christie. Think, Think, Think. Then honestly say what is the best alternative.
Try opening your own boutique hotel, and see if you get these concessions. To the contrary, they make it almost impossible with their red tape, requirements, that after reading all of the s--t above, seem only to apply to Bahamian developers. I tried, but got turned around at every corner, by government. Any one able to figure out when the Government will earn any money for this deal (other than that earned by those in the negotiation circle)?
