For the first time, someone who actually has the interest of the Bahamian people in mind is taking a look at the going ons of our government and it does not look good. To many years of no oversight has left us with bad policies and procedures that are not even being followed. Forget the fact that this leaves a lot of room for embezzlement and shady deals, just having such bad financial housekeeping is costing the citizens hundreds of millions of dollars each and every year.
Terrance Bastian and his team need to be given more support by the people. They are doing what needs to be done to make our government more efficient and save us money.
PC doesn't care who he's gotten us in bed with. All he cares about is how much kickback he's getting. Pindling didn't care when he was getting in bed with the drug runners and look at who Christie learned from.
There was financing set up to pay the employees through the Chapter 11 filing, but instead the government blocked that so that they could use the employees as their own pawns.
They should not be paying anyone's salaries. What a waste of our money.
If the government had not let their big feelings get in the way, this would be half way through Chapter 11, work would be happening on the hotel to finish it and the creditors would be on their way to getting paid. Instead, to protect their ego's and their backroom dealings, the government has put up every road block they could and now there is no end in sight.
Baha Mar had asked the other parties to enter binding arbitration well over a month ago, and CCA refused. It really would have been the quickest way forward.
