Decision due to ‘breach of confidentiality’
Unfortunately this is bigger than PLP or FNM. Serious allegations were made against Cargill and an audit was performed to review these allegations which will cost the Bahamian people over a million dollars. Minister Gibson claims that the audit report substantiates the validity of the allegations against Cargill, yet Cargill was terminated by the NIB Board for breach of confidentiality, a charge that was not even investigated in the audit as far as I am aware. There is a major unsettling disconnection here and this actual opens up a whole new Pandora’s Box. Serious questions should now be raised about potential conflicts of interests, the terms of reference, the appointment and execution of this audit and its impact on why the NIB Board decided to disregard its findings. In addition to the questions above, Mr. Gibson should also be made to publicly explain the criteria that he used to select and appoint Grant Thornton and why after spending over a million dollars on this audit, the NIB Board totally disregarded and ignored its findings and conclusions. Further, the PM must now show the same vigor in investigating the charges against Mr. Gibson and Mr. Moss, otherwise he will be planting the seeds again that will eventually lead to the downfall of his party… again. This is a classic case of fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. This audit appears to be just another case of blatant political patronage. Enough is enough, just as we should hold Cargill accountable where misfeasance can be independently validated, we must also hold the PM, Gibson and Moss accountable for wasting our money to enrich their family, friends and supporters.

@ Tal...no doubt Cargill needs to answer to the bonuses...can't remember the full swing on the employment contract, but we know the pay increases were legit and contractual. What I will be very interested to see is this...Under the previous PLP administration NIB operated at a loss...under FNM and Cargill it turned a profit. Will be VERY interested to see if when the PLP get kicked to the curb in 2017 what the true financial status of NIB is...willing to make a bet they'll be losing money again while some croonies are getting their pockets lined with taxpayer $$. Any takers?? Let's go to a numbers house and start up a bet!!

Pinewood Gardens
Ahah! A sensible and truthful statement. But a few months too late, the chickens are already roosting.
We castigate young boys who grab a $200 chain or steal a $300 cellphone. But at the same time we have very nicely groomed men in expensive suits who show up on our tvs everyday to tell us how much they care about us. Behind our backs they are doling out millions to their friends, business partners and campaign workers. Crime is crime. A professional firm was just paid 1 mil dollars the other day for work that if they were truly professionals, they would have written a cheque to the tax payers returning 3/4.
What happened to these people in pineward gardens is another true crime. Who could not have foreseen the hazards...

Budget ‘focuses on equipment, not officers’
I completely agree with Mr. Rolle! Excellent evaluation of what the police force needs. Why do politicians not consult the proper authorities (pun not intended) when they make recommendations for budgets that have to do with other areas not within their expertise? Or perhaps the proper authority on the matter. Mr. Rolle is on point!

‘Unions must fight for BTC’
Man...it's a real b*tch working for a private company and not a government run employee slush house. You mean BTC is actually expecting WORK out of their staff?? Unbelievable!! Government never made them work, so why should you? Please...get on with your work. Just because CWC are actually holding the staff accountable to the contracts laid down and worked out by the UNION, they are going to start making noise. The ONLY reason for any government run utility is to house employees that would not be employable elsewhere in the industry and for political gain.

Young people can learn alot from wise old men. Unfortunately at the present time there arent many wise old men in the political arena...just an abundance of old (and young) extraordinarily greedy men.

Should have had the Chinese build a prison instead of a stadium. Prison accommodations for 20,000 inmates in proper conditions is the first move, followed by a moratorium on bail, by Judicial policy or act. Rack and stack 'em, put them to work. NO EXCEPTIONS.
