It’s heartening to read that Justice Delancey’s finding that marriage is defined as a partnership between both parties of which each contributes.

And that Mme Justice acknowledges the difficulties and income limitations facing divorced women (especially those of middle age) returning to the workforce after years of absence.

Not in any official capacity.

So Eric Wilson the guy supposedly elected to safeguard the jobs of his fellow members of BEWU & ensuring their needs are met is in fact one of the main recipients who’ve profited from this corrupt overtime scheme.
And since by virtue of the power he’d possess over his union’s members, he’d also be in a position to leverage that power in a corrupt scheme for he & his mates to receive $600,000 in no-show “overtime”.

Yet he has not been suspended and/or charged?

When someone claims “The buck stops here” it usually means they have accepted responsibility for the issue(s) at hand.
Mr Davis however immediately blamed the 3 workers who are at the center of the BPL overtime scandal.

The PM has not now nor ever committed/presented a path forward to a solution with any transparency
Neither has he provided reports updating any of his government’s previous missives, plans and policy failures.

That the head of the very union organized to protect BPL workers is the person who’s made the most money in this scandal is just another corrupt campaign at criminal harassment and intimidation that has plagued this government.

Wilson complained that the information revealed about his so called ‘overtime’ was a distraction given the egregious management errors at BPL.
Yet his entitled attitude towards his own corruption is another plank of fuel in the overall pyre that is BPL.

And all those overtime hours he and his mates supposedly worked between Christmas and New Years (when there were no blackouts, emergencies etc) was nothing more than falsified hours added at the end of the year. The previous years will tell the same story.
And this is the guy in charge of protecting the rights of his fellow union members??
For shame!

Wondering the same thing myself!!

Industrial generators are designed to run past 100 hours let alone the 24 hours quoted by the Minister because if they could not our hotels, government entities, multi family residences wouldn’t invest in their purchase-and maintenance.

So it would be surprising given the prevalence, the need for generators here and the collective knowledge that implies for anyone reading this article to conclude that the BPL caused the damage described here.
Not saying they’re not culpable for the ‘mismanagement’ of our money, the loss of trust given them.

No, the implication here seems to be that had the BPL presumed the system operators employed by Bahamian government entities to be so incompetent they should have “communicated” with the latter to ensure they followed the most rudimentary law of maintaining their generators.

“Do not operate without a steady supply of fuel.”

Growing pains? Bah!
We’ve had much ballyhooing from this gov’t, promise after promise that the pain from the ever increasing forfeiture of our hard earned monies, from the successive & prolonged blackouts we’ve endured only to be told these are “growing pains”???

We’ve suffered from what they now call “growing pains” going on for 5 years.

Sounds like a stone baby to me, all hope and promise but no satisfaction for any of us doing the be-labouring, the waiting-in the dark!

So if Mr Monroe, his prosecutors & his PD are doing that demanded by Bahamian law concerning their sworn duty “to support and protect witnesses and victims”, not jeopardize the “life, safety and well being of victims and witnesses..and…to use good judgment” as to any impending dangers, then why would none of them act proactively act to protect their witnesses?

Surely they don’t want us to think they care nothing about the ongoing intimidation and murderous efforts tanking their prosecutions.

One can surmise that just as in the cases being adjudicated from the previous arrests of prominent members of our military and judiciary, the “accommodations” offered in his plea deal such as “less than the minimum ten year sentence” (and not the max of a life term), will make this co-operating criminal join his fellows in telling a informative & fascinating tale!
