Each constituency is allowed a budget of $250,000 per annum to use on projects and maintenance, etc. Does Shame actually expect us to believe he spent his own kickback money? Probably just use up his constituency's allowance and pocketed the kickbacks.
Interesting that the chairman of the PLP all about trying to air the dutty laundry of the FNM candidates while he his party leader remain mum on the firzgerald and shame scandals. So what are we as voters to do? Reject the FNM candidates and allow Fitzgerald, Shame and the rest a yinna to get back in office to continue begging teifin' and cutting deals under the table? You are both just different sides of the same damned coin and both sides are pathetic!
@birdie: so because an insurance contract was unfairly awarded in 2012 to the family member of a sitting cabinet minister who did not bid on it, this doesn't make it right to expose it in 2017?
The people who support this nonsense normally fall in two categories: 1. They get kickbacks from their party when it's in power so as far as they are concerned once me and mine get ours, we good or 2. They follow the party blindly because it's just what they do and it never occurs to them that they're being used to facilitate the lifestyle of a chosen few who just can't get enough of a very sweet cookie jar. Mind you, they een gettin' nuttin for their trouble (most still broke busted and totally disgusted) but their ignorance is bliss to the powers that be who work to keep the majority that way.
Lord what next? Did his cat and dog also get a contract?
I really believe these gangsters (with the Prime Minister at the helm) made a pact to "protect and serve" each other - not the Bahamian people. Hence you gat Fitzgerald helping Gibson (Allyson), Gibson not prosecuting Gray; Shame helping Fitzgerald, etc. and the PM and nobody talking.
Keep silent! The Bahamian people will speak on May 10!
Why fire anyone when election is less than 2 weeks away. What are they going to lose. A few days' pay? Trust me, they know they are gone on May 10th? I just wish someone had exposed the crookedness years ago.
Cabinet members don't get fired til election day otherwise who would run the country? You'll know that the cabinet position is more permanent as you can be a cabinet minister without having a seat in Parliament. You just go to the Senate as you just need a forum to report from (case in point the Attorney General).
The question should be how is it done under ANY Government's watch. Sounds like someone has a stolen ring going between Florida, Nassau and Road Traffic.
These allegations do not make Mackey look good as a candidate. Sounds like he's a serious bill dodger to me (and I have heard similar stories about him in private).
My grandpa used to always say, "A man do nuttin', he fear nuttin'"
Man I don't know when we ga wake up. I've been saying for years politics has long ago stopped being about helping people and more about politicians helping themselves. All we do is exchange one gang of crooks for another. We don't vote good governance in. We simply vote bad governance out. Politicians know how to rape the system that's why it takes dynamite to get them out of office. The only difference between this band of crooks and the last ones is these idiots don't know how to cover their tail.
We vote them out and the next crew gets in to start teifin' again. It's a vicious cycle with the Bahamian people in the middle being played for fools.
Jesus. How much more corruption coming to the surface before May 10th? And the asshol&**s that support this foolishness will say he's a good Christian man who was just trying to help his constituents.
Well, first of all, why are the funds in a US account if it's to help bahamian citizens? Secondly where is the proof that he has Central Bank approval to operate a US-dollar account? Thirdly, where are the cancelled cheques as proof that the funds were used for what he said they were?
