This reads like an editorial and yet it’s presented as ‘news’… Simms and PwC have a tough go of maintaining their position and reputation given the illegal grab fest of monies.
I wouldn’t exactly call Pinder’s behavior “hardball”, rather a desperate attempt at smoke/mirrors to hide such a lame excuse, there can be a no harm no foul answer when one is the AG!!
So Sears “misled” ie. lied, Wilson’s not talking and Davis cannot recall?? Bahamian voters need to hold corrupt officials and/or politicians accountable if they ever want their country to be respected, their quality of life restored.
If business and government entities from say, construction, utilities, financial securities or environmental oversight were regulated by a competent government would the Bahamas have earned such a well deserved reputation for systemic corruption? If Bahamians do not care enough about their country to take back their power, hold accountable those they voted into office then editorials such as this are just another example of the self pitying attitude that led us here.
How embarrassing it is to listen to Davis head of a government known chiefly by it’s corruption, stand on the world’s stage pontificating about his people’s “moral purpose” on climate activism. His self aggrandizing speechifying even claimed that other countries had adopted his environmental safeguards/projects! Will wonders never cease? I recall his boasting in these pages about his knowledge of etiquette whilst he trips across the world racking up our debt load, so why then did he so rudely leave well ahead of the end of the speeches?
EAHG raised $500M last spring and quickly acquired new properties for development, the Lucayan Resort purchase obviously was never a front runner. And since Davis & Co already had their headline and a scapegoat when the deal failed due to the empty promises about a new airport…
No money for infrastructure, no money to pay nurses, yet there’s no end to that available for pigs at the teat. There’s 70 a-swilling at the latest hog fest in Egypt right?
