'Defending the 400,000' on $4.6m union excess

It will be interesting to learn how much the Board members including MR; Scott is being paid. Will the Government in the Sunshine inform the Bahamian people? or is this as secret as the secret conclave.

Why is it so hard to take some responsibility. So many excuses, always another excuse for why someone didn't do their job. It's like a disease in this country, everyone's got the 'excuses'.

Does it really make any difference? It's just more money being paid out of The People's taxes to line the pockets the so-called elite, for doing whatever.

You are right on about General Orders. They need to be revised but no one dares challenge the Civil Servants, especially the Permanent Secretaries.

A "full review" will only be beneficial if the many deficiencies and inadequacies in the system and personnel involved are actually rectified, and KEPT rectified. These should include air AND sea accident and emergency response. The current system IS a national disgrace.

Dormant accounts – they'll do nicely

Dimwitted Minnis and the incompetent central bank governor he appointed (John Rolle) are not even proposing to establish a web site that lists all of the dormant account owners so that Bahamian families who may be entitled to bank balances left by their deceased loved ones can rightfully claim what belongs to them. Instead, Minnis and Rolle would rather have the government steal these dormant bank balances. What a joke! LMAO

Of course BEC is officially broke, they hid that fact in plain sight by creating BPL and spending thousands to do just that - so much corruption and employee/union problems, combined with rank inefficiency for decades. I hope the folks at Rawson Square don't think the PLP are blameless.
