I find this story off as well. Security officers are not armed. So, they are not much of a deterrent. Every family island have police officers stationed there. The government just needs to use the police resources already on island or are these 162 security officers just a smokescreen to slip some money.

The title of this article seems inappropriate. Why is it titled "Haitian" man drowns? Why can't it read "Worker" at Harbour Resort drowns?

If there is an issue within Immigration aren't there channels to.address it?

We have so many issues in this country. Can we get something right?

What kind of bs is this? How does this abuse go undetected or better yet unaddressed for years. Simple checks and balances. Why is there always a story why money walked out the door? Everybody involved from the PM all the way down the line needs to be fired. Anyone who received payment that they clearly knew they shouldn't have should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

We're running deficit after deficit every year because of a huge civil service payroll. Now we hear this bs about error. Error my backside! This was designed to.work exactly how it's working. You noticed Simon Wilson didn't say anything about determining the exact amount of the supposed decades long errors or about recovering the funds. This is gross, flagrant abuse. Every citizen or resident who pays taxes need to demand the dismissal of everybody. Every PM before the current one needs to give an account for this and the current one as well. As you see Simom said they were aware of these issues for years. Unbelievable!

In addition to firing, some folks need to be flogged for this.

This is really good. Can we also get a human sanctuary for all the homeless and abused people?

I didn't know this was a requirement, but what he's saying sounds extremely reasonable. I'm sure Bahari is making a lot more than $20.00. I'd the government says fill out this application, they price it and you pay $20, then do it. If you look at it from a proprietary standpoint, if this was a private company that owned these images, you either could not use them or you would have to get their permission and pay a huge amount for use of it. $20 paid by a handful of merchants won't lead to a lot of money in the treasury.

Lol. When OPEC initially announced their cut prices didn't spike. If I recall it dropped. The funny thing was they didn't get the demand they expected from China. So, although lower supply, there was much lower demand. Economics won that round. I guess the reporter also didn't hear the China part of the equation either.

Lol. Everybody getting money from the poor, working class and middle class. Some of the wealthy and the well connected are the ones with the highest electricity usage but are the ones who don't pay. So, those who can least afford pay for those who can and also have to pay the premium for those in power to abuse the system.

Are they lacking or are they playing games? Do you believe a bunch of engineers from BPL and Wartsila say together and combined could not figure out how this will play out? The Wartsila guys would knkw their engines better than anyone else and the guys at BPL.know the crap they have there. So, it seems to be a game being played here. A very costly game. Could there be issues? Yes, but I believe they are blowing up a picture to justify spending. Like the old saying goes, follow the money. Once you do this you will understand clearly what is happening.

Say this government?! Lol. All of them are bad. When this government lies they need to make sure the available data in the global community doesn't easily contradict their BS.
