how many times do I have to tell you Hubert Ingraham ordered the defense force boats ,,lets not even get into naming something that has no accreditation a university
No he did not ,He is a lawyer and he knows ,malfeasance and wasteful spending are bad judgement and even corrupt ,but its a hard criminal case to make .unless you have solid evidence of Ash kicking back .HAI says where there is corruption AND a provable case by all means prosecute ..
The roads were needed to be done for years and when they were dug up a lot of the water works had to be repaired ,,,400 Bahamians worked on the roads ,,and JCC did NOT make 200 million ,,maybe 30 million profit after payroll ,fuel for vehicles ,tar , vehicle etc etc .,,Thus a lot of the money circulated here ,,400 million in the airport I can touch ,the harbor for bigger ships and the fill for awarak cay.. Keynesian economics you spend on infrastructure during a recession and try to keep taxes low to stimulate growth ..He knew we needed to broaden our tax base b/c we were only getting 40% of customs revenue ,but did not do VAT during a recession ..Say what you will but things got done w/ HAI ..The money for the roads was a very low interest long term IDB loan b/c we still had good credit then ,,unlike now.The PLP started the roads w/ Bethel trucking btw 2002 and 2007 and the IDB yanked the loan ,,HAi had to use a foreign firm ..
Birdie Birdie Birdie ,,63 % of Bahamians said loudly that we had horrible governance from 2012 to 2017 , and PGC was a large part of it .Are you saying 63% of your fellow Bahamians are not very astute or easily conned .
It seems we were robbed to the tune of a billion or more dollars , you take the 200 million that walked out the front door of BOB ,the 40 million from road traffic ,all those 8 million dollar contracts ,which Ash and his like split w/ whatever MP approved them , all the shady foreign consultants that were paid to get these crooks money overseas ,one of B Bethel oldest tricks ,,,,its got to be a billion or more of out and out theft .
