"most creative artist"??? I do believe he said he had a law degree. Surely he was taught in law school to cross his "t's" and dot his "i's". Because the big wigs in the Government did not find it fitting to put a proper contract in place which detailed what nearly half a million of taxpayers' dollars was being spent on, does not in any way exempt him just because he didn't see fit to insist on it. Mr. Poitier was at the very least complicit in this matter. He is by no means innocent!
I'm also glad that you had had the benefit of seeing his work and can vouch that it was worth $400,000 per annum. I wish that the taxpayers had this benefit because I can't think of anyone outside of you and former Minister who agree with this. It's bullshi*!!
How is it not his fault that he didn't have a written contract?? He lists his qualifications as being a trained attorney. I think that's law 101, aye? You cover your azz!
You seem to be caught up with D'Aguilar exposing the contract - albeit recklessly. I'm caught up with the fact that Poitier was being paid for consultancy services without a written contract detailing what those services were. Just his word in a press statement that reads like an inflated resume.
This is not the PLP's first rodeo show. You're going to tell me that the Minister of Tourism and the Prime Minister - senior Ministers of the Government - would offer to pay for consultancy services using a huge hunk of taxpayers' dollars and not have a contract to say what those services were or what the grounds were for terminating the contract if the consultant screwed up? Sounds kinda fishy to me - and I'm just a taxpayer.
My sentiments exactly! I mean even if the PLP crony had a problem with the rent why wasn't she paying anything at all!! Who does this?? More importantly, who gets away with it and conveniently gets a write off two months before the election? WTH!!
These headlines continue to baffle me. But like I said in previous post, we can name and shame all day and continue to show how neck deep in sh**t and corruption the PLP was.
What I would feel better about is when we can finally get someone - anyone - who has stolen our money to do the Bank Lane shuffle. Only then will I believe that the Minnis administration is serious about tackling corruption.
It is if you've been following the rag sheets of late. This story has been out for weeks with the lady's name being printed in black and white with the amount above stated for the unpaid rent and her PLP connections that granted her the favour and another PLP money source that purportedly paid a lump sum to help her out.

The saga continues.... more wastage and padded contracts.
There must be some way to figure out if there were kickbacks involved.
It's just too much.
