I agree, but who’s going to throw over the dominoes table?

This is an incredible but sadly hardly a surprising story.
BPL has had in hand the needed permission from DEPP to continue their remediation for a year now, and they claim to have ‘a plan’, so why haven’t they shared this plan with the property owner if this is what he requires for access and clean up?
Why hasn’t the great Bahamas environmental protection Dept done it’s job “to protect Bahamians”?
Why would it take a ministry department that hadn’t as yet acted for Bahamians a year and a half just to approve and forward BPL’s remediation plan if indeed it was miraculously created and submitted a week after they got the cease and desist order in February 2022??

Ms Rolle BPL’s attorney noted they’d installed monitoring wells for assessing groundwater contamination, however she also claimed locals have been scooping up the diesel flowing freely into the site since at least the winter of 2022.
Which begs the question where has this professed concern for preventing “Androsians from being exposed to cancer causing chemicals”? Why haven’t BPL at least placed signs warning folks of the health and environmental hazards? They don’t need to access the site for that.

Mr Butler and his engineer submitted a report on the ongoing spillage that BPL and DEPP have known of since January 2022, already aware that the flow of diesel is so extensive and the fumes so pervasively toxic that nearing the site makes one ‘nauseous’.
So their “monitoring wells” have been redundant from the day they were placed in 2022, no?

However the overwhelming concern given this corruption of governance?
Why is the oil still flowing? Why didn’t BPL fix the problem in 2022?
And why the heck hasn’t DEPP forced them to remedy these health concerns (which all are now professing) on Day One when they first entered the contaminated site?

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t DEPP created against the backdrop of the oil industry interest in drilling to belay all concerned about an oil spill fouling beaches and waters?
That DEPP could and would use all the powers bestowed to act instantly to sweep in and protect this country from such a catastrophe?

Well now we know, but what are we going to do?

Of course not!
Then again given the dismal reputation of this country's corrupt institutions no warning was likely needed!
And the RBPF and the gov't's talk of the Met and/or Scotland Yard whatever "assisting" them in inquiries over their own corruption?
I'm surprised they weren't publicly reprimanded for spreading such nonsense.
What reputable law enforcement agency from any country would work under the aegis of these crooks? Or have their name sullied on any investigative report that's sure to be a public embarrassment?

Right, these fellas that don't bother to get permitted, carry insurance, train and/or drug test their operators are going to read a manual??
Why not take the expense of this latest book of toilet paper, the time and monies spent writing up such lunacy and hire an inspector??

Munroe, police officials and this media have been very circumspect in their information to the public -and of course to the RBPF and the criminal element that is the driving force behind their ongoing corrupt partnership.

The man murdered last week was out on a $250,000 bond as is the other 'suspect' Akeil Holmes, both monitored by bracelets and therefore sitting ducks...

Mr Monroe, attempting to steer opinion would have us believe that these murders and skullduggery are all about the whereabouts of the money stolen, but these two fellers are walking about bonded for $1/2 M.
Money doesn't seem to be an issue-at least not for these drug gangs;
no this all comes under business as usual by the RBPF- blocking all trails leading back to their own criminal enterprise.

And we will not be reading any enlightening statements here next week or thereafter from any UK investigators.
They're seconded to the RBPF and "such would be detrimental to the ongoing investigation"
What a farce!!

There won’t be many complaints when this ‘housing project’ never gets off the ground and the place falls apart before move-in date, right?

Using satire again Munroe??!

One sincerely doubts this government would bother investigating what they already know, as do most Bahamians who follow the news.

However if we briefly suspend reality, logic tells us that if such a report been completed AND and the evidence produced exoneration that data would be presented to parliament and the US Embassy on a gold platter!!

Parents and relatives of these children have always refused to allow them to be adopted despite knowing the hell their lives are in gov’t ‘care homes’.

For to allow these children the chance for a better life in loving homes will never be considered an option for those church going moralizing prideful Bahamians.

And you all know why, because they would have to admit that their progeny’s lifestyle, addiction to drugs or alcohol, and/or mental health issues are not compatible with parenting.

Will someone please take it upon themselves to tell these stiff necked Bahamians they’re already damned?
The Lord doesn’t care what your friends think, he/she is only concerned with your conduct!

The PM obviously hasn’t followed his doctor’s orders, not surprising since rules and cautionary advice doesn’t sit well with him.
That would have been the advice to loose weight!
