Cowan a little peeved with Tempro
Cowan a little peeved with Tempro

More documents leaked to BU expose the financial state of the CEO of a company described as the facilitator of a USD350 million waste-to-energy plant in Barbados. In recent days, Barbadians agitating against […] the project have experienced the satisfaction of reading a statement from Minister of the Environment Denis Lowe which reassures Barbadians all checks and balances will be applied to the application to build a waste-to-energy-plant in Barbados.

  2. Darcy Boyce, Denislaudering Denis Lowe, Chris Sinckler, Michael Lashley, David Estwick and Fruendel Stuart need to be investigated by the FBI for corruption as well as money laudering

    “The tangled web is unraveling!”

    There was never any entanglement just plain opportunistic greed leading to fraud and kickbacks as is the modus operandi of the Boyce and Lowe with the other idiots drawn in for good measure.

    The WTE project was never intended to get off the ground but merely to scam taxpayers’ money by way of consultancy fees and phantom project administration charges. Which foreign investor would take up over $400 million and invest it in a country parading a junk bond status and a stagnant one-cylinder economy with thieving corrupt incompetent jackasses in charge?

    Don’t you remember the Pierhead Marina “Redesigned” project? Are you still waiting on a berthing at the Sugar Point Cruise Ship Terminal? Ask the Port CEO has money has been spent to date.

    All that happened this time around is that Bajan white people got involved and upset the applecart because there was nothing in it for them.

    “Ask the Port CEO has money has been spent to date.”

    Should read: ‘Ask the Bridgetown Port CEO how much money has been spent to date on the Sugar Point Cruise Ship terminal that should have started construction since January 2014.’

    Alvin Cummins can testify in DLP Pentecostal fashion.

    I am at a loss for words. I am sure that the 4 clowns who rushed to sign this deal must be shivering in their nasty ass boots. Barbados should call the Democratic Labour Party government to account. All four ministers, including the Prime Minister, should be shamed and asked to demit office with forthwith. Following that, an investigation should be conducted on the involvement of the 4 ministers post-haste-signing with this shadowy character.

    Alvin sweetie, maybe you should check the toilet where you last sat. I am sure you would find it floating around amidst the toilet paper and other shit. Should have waited and look behind you before you flushed. Hiss HIss boo boo


  9. Well what can we say
    Well done BU
    When is the PM back from his latest jolly he should fire all four of these numptys
    And summarily fall on his own sword


  10. @Mockingbird

    What you suggest will never happen, all political parties fight to remain at the top of the pile and to hell with issues of ethics or principles. Note that in Barbados and the Caribbean we do not have a history of political figures withdrawing from office on matters of principle.


  11. Can I suggest that Mia once again take up the mantle of pushing this thing to the fore front of the house again and put pay tho this nonsense


  12. Mia’s hands are full at the moment. There is a mutiny on the Bounty. However there is merit in your suggestion. Cahill gives her an out to show she is willing to ”brekup” the game members of the political class play.


  13. Mia always start a game which she cannot finished the same applies to the Clico debacle she came riding as a knight in shining armour to bring down the govt on this clico scandal ,then she faded into thin air ,do not expect to hear much more from Mia, her aim is to throw the scratch grain and let her foot soldiers do the battle recusing herself of any malice or slander which might come about,


  14. Interesting ….I like when she schools your politicians ….this isn’t a game


  15. So, ac, you admit that it is a scandal!


  16. Peltdown man,

    Tee hee.


  17. @ Miller
    You DO get the scam.
    BUT…
    Bushie is tempted to speculate as to your deep understanding of such schemes…


  18. David,

    Hands full or not if she had the interests of Barbados at heart she would MAKE the time to finish what she started. It would even pay off politically in the end if she rode in on a white horse and slayed this particular dragon. But alas! I fear she is just doing a political dance around the edges and waiting her turn for the center of the stage.

    Whuloss…whuloss..whuloss

    I can hear Fumbles now “Can no one rid me of this Barbados Underground?”

    “Dem have brought shame and damnation upon we head, where is de Commissioner uh Police?”

    Unna done see dat LexCaribbean is also a part of this plot?

    Now de ole man gine throw in a yorker fuh wunna called “it shall neither be mine nor thine”

    No leh we acknowledge dat all uh dese documents is too convoluted to be falsifications, dem is too many variables involved

    When you falsifying deep cover documents you does hafta deal wid “variables”

    So when you talking bout a false school dat you claim you attended you does let slip de story bout how de groundsman was did “Pass out” de village sheep or de Donkey (please note that i said sheep and donkey not them udder two) and, because of the congruence with real information, it is accepted (though not confirmed) by the target of the info.

    Sort of like name dropping enhanced.

    So look at these documents, from disparate sources, all leading to the same people, all dated “correctly” and what you get is a picture regarding the source of the documents and an insight into the MOU’s terms.

    If de ole man din know bettah he would say that given the veracity of these docs, the source is Clare!!

    She is bailing ship, given that they have left her and are backpeddaling, she now doing she own ting and it would appear like if de MOU may got someting in it dat will still gi she a few $$ to help she out a little.

    Now here is de ting doah…dese documents coming too fluently

    In this unravelling it would appear that Clare gots some documents dat is written by de hand uh dese Johnny KickBackers and right about now, dem gots to be shiting a brick.

    “Dem isnt too concern bout Mia Muttley doing she little song and dance, soon to putter out, whu dem concern bout, (And rightfully so) is if and when one uh dem documents gine get expose heah pun BU…..!!

    Man Venerable Blogmaster, leh de peeple know how many hits you getting when de day come man!! Man Cheez Don Breaderts man

    Anyway doan eat nuffin from dem and tell you daughter and you wife dat dem is not to eat nuffin from a fellow…

    I can just imagine the Animal Farm scene. The humans in the village (foreign sharks) worried about the farm being taken over by animals (DLP voters) and then realising what a windfall it is to have corrupt, greedy pigs (FooFoo’s cabinet) in charge of an entire (previously) successful island economy with (previously) fantastic credit rating; BUSINESS AS USUAL. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

    ‘Courts fails financially in the 1st world where people can count, flourishes in the Caribbean where people can’t’ scenario repeated.

    We have been bought from colonial slave masters and sold to financial slave masters by our own (again). We will all work for Massa to repay these debts until we and generations of our offspring are dust.


  23. @ pieceuhderockyeahright wrote, ” If de ole man din know bettah he would say that given the veracity of these docs, the source is Clare!!”

    I have been wondering how “confidential/private information ended up on BU.

    Now we await the leaks from de 4.

    Hope somebody writes a novel about all this. A good title would be ” Gasified “…a political thriller.


  24. Cast of Characters:

    The “can’t be that stupid” lawyer Clare referred to is Mary Mahabir. Her assessment may prove somewhat true given the $20,000 unpaid legal fees incurred without a credit check DD or a retainer received.

    The “Bruce” on the to-do list is Bruce Matheson of Infrastar.

    Since Philip advised Clare to provide the BIO on the investment team, here it is:

    http://nautilusrenewables.com/ourteam.html

    Ask Philip if he met the team in Newport Beach earlier this year.

    It is hard to believe that Fenton Hazlems, Taylor Wessing, and others are involved in the lucre grab.

    Like the 4 hapless ministers who are now trying to distance themselves from the clueless Clare, this entire scam was predicated on advanced fees for services and consultancies. So greedy were the ministers to collect their cut from a tried and true local golden goose known for their largesse to anyone involved in their building projects, that they were willing to sell out their country; so greedy was Clare to sell the shell company for obscene gains to the Chinese as soon as the deal was signed with the Barbados Gov’t, that she double/triple mortgaged her personal residence for Fool’s Gold and will now be both broke and homeless.

    The next logical move is to contact Infrastar and Philip for comment.


  25. @PUDRYR

    Yes, these Cahill leaks have gone viral.


  26. How can a sovereign government work like this ???
    Not only is she a fraudster she has the Gaul to lecture the government.
    If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny
    We are a laughing stock .

    We would got to be the laughing stock; you see the type of cunts that running the government and the puppets that defending them. I surprise none of the puppets ain’t jump on these documents yet talking a whole lot of shite. I want this whole mess to explode. 700 million scam and these jokers running the country sugar coat it sweetly and that bombastic screw pooch for PM still thinks that he is the untouchable King.


  28. She said in her September 4 email to Neeta and Dominic at Taylor Wessing that she was reducing the asking price to $6.38m (actually $6,388,000) to make her unit “very competitive”

    The condo property was listed for sale on a contract dated January 28, 2015, for CDN$6,988,000, with an expiry date of June 15, 2015.

    The property was re-listed for sale on a contract dated July 3, 2015, for CDN$6,800,000, with an expiry date of December 15, 2015, Toronto Real Estate Board # C3250784

    Apparently $6,388,000 did not attract any buyers, so about 10 days ago she further reduced the listing price to $5,998,000.

    Assuming it sells for about $6,000.000, after the any property taxes and maintenance fees, the $4,000,000 first, the $1,600.00 owing on the second and real estate fees are paid, there will be little if anything left to repay money owing to Liz (Spencer?), or Taylor Wessing; and no equity for MECC.


  29. And the Prime Minister is probably up in New York, telling the Bajan Yankee, who wonderful Barbados has become under his watch.
    The PM has perfected the art of telling people, mainly DLPites ,what he thinks that they want to hear.


  30. Do we have investigated journalist in Barbados. We demand the Opposition and Government address the issue NOW. This is a crisis of governance. Kammie, Mia, Donville????

    This is where BU focus will be next.


  31. @DD
    She is bankrupt
    Trading insolvent
    Continuing to trade and incurr further debt all of which is ilegal and as directors both MECC John Robilliard and Mary M are open to prosecution.
    Of the 3 Robilliard and Mahabir are at highest risk of falling foul of directors Responsibility’s
    I suggest they take independent legal advice on their risks
    MECC is bankrupt so there is nothing to regain from her.
    She even sold off her RRSP’s to live
    In the words of the great Waldo pepper “she is F**ked”


  32. @David,

    The investigative reporters have to check with the bosses in Trinidad.


  33. David

    What more can BU do?


  34. Didn’t David Ellis boldly state on public radio last week that there is more happening in Barbados than Cahill?

    This Cahill issue exposes a fault line in our governance if addressed will resolve several other issues we continue to battle.


  35. @DD

    We will have to think of something.


  36. This whole saga would be funny if it weren’t so serious. The four ministers or the government as a whole need to be held to account for this sorry mess. The fact the BDS mainstream press are not running with this, demonstrates the level of control government exercises over the supposedly free press which in turn gives the government a freehand to do what they want. The papers BU has released, suggests something underhand has gone on to the detriment of Barbados. At its highest level it amounts to fraud and corruption at its lowest level, incompetence, as clearly no thorough due diligence was conducted whilst four government ministers went ahead and signed an MOU which has the potential impact of not only endangering the environment and the health and well being of Bajans but potentially putting Barbados in debt for many years to come. If in fact this all occurred without the prime minister being aware is incredulous. Either way, the trust and confidence in this current administration has been eroded and, unfortunately the BLP with its current silence on this matter and internal wranglings, is not demonstrating that it has sufficient leadership qualities to do any better. Perhaps its time to follow the examples of some of the other Caribbean communities and come up with an amalgamated people’s party.

    Investment confidence in Barbados is already low and its reduced financial status and ranking in the ease of doing business index won’t boost confidence but will leave most potential investors running for the hills. What will happen when / if the international media get hold of this latest demonstration of political incompetence?

    This is all very sad and unfortunate. Less than a decade ago Barbados was perceived as ‘up there’ with the best – now…..

    Congratulation though BU, a sound piece of investigative journalism that puts your mainstream counterparts to shame.


  37. I’ve talked to a Canada revenue agent
    Who tells me that accrued income must be declared for the period /year it was earned and that includes world wide income
    Clearly MECC under declared her income to the revenue ..
    The $1millon from Cahill international is also a taxable income

    Even if the income was fiction she clearly used these letters from Blenheim’s to falsify applications for mortsges and security’s to fund this big fraud.


  38. We need Mia to validate to continue her prosecution of this matter.


  39. What is Infra, laying pipes, to do with Infrastar?Any connection?Was lowedown
    at BWA(when a pipe burstes)when this contract was entered into.Just asking..


  40. @David, the Cahill problem shows a weakness in our governance model which neither the DLP or BLP will seek to fix for reasons best know to politicians.
    We all need to be reminded corruption erodes economic freedom by introducing insecurity and uncertainty into economic relationships. The Future Centre Trust thru its advocacy will speak to Greenwashing and Corruption thru a lecture series.


  41. The minister of Finance should open his mouth and speak on this matter. We do not expect Darcy Boyce to say a word………….he wheels and deals behind the scenes and he would probably say he is not elected………that is why he should not have been able to put this deal together.

    Lets face it……………..neither Lowe or Stinkiar has the intellect of Darcy Boyce.

    With all of this information in the open, one would think that the PM would address the nation on this……………….but no, he will do just what he usually does, keep quiet until we stop talking.

    Lowe waited until people are caught up with this foolishness in the BLP Christ Church West constituency and put out a lied statement and he thinks that will make it alright.

    If anyone is willing to come out and demonstrate against this blatant corruption, I will be there all the way! Enough of this crap!


  42. @Kammie

    Continue the good fight.


  43. RastaR

    She certainly appears to be insolvent – unable to pay debts as they fall due in the usual course of business – i.e. can’t pay her Rogers phone bill.

    But I have not seen anything that says she is bankrupt.

    BTW – do you know the date the $800,000 second mortgage was registered?

    The PM does not act like a PM
    What is sad is that there are persons who make excuses for him and his nonsense.
    His refusal to engage the media is explain away as he having his own style
    He cannot even name a Deputy Prime Minister
    The DLP should not win three seats in the next election
    Parties win third terms if they deserve if they deserve them
    This Government is the worst Government in the history of this country
    Expect folly from them all the time and nothing but excuses and throwing blame around
    We are still at Junk Bond status
    The Cabinet is still the largest
    The Lies about Integrity Legislation
    Tuition Fees
    No LAYOFFS
    Busfares etc still remain


  45. @Prodigal Son September 29, 2015 at 5:02 PM

    “The minister of Finance should open his mouth and speak on this matter.”

    A BGIS release dated March 15, 2014 included this

    “At the signing last Saturday, March 15, at Government Headquarters, Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, Christopher Sinckler, said: “This investment by Cahill Energy represents a ‘game changer’ for the island and truly belies any doubt that Barbados is still a preferred destination for solid and impactful foreign direct investment.””

    Do you really think he will admit he was wrong?

    But he did have one thing correct. This “Investment” will be a “game changer”; but will regrettably in the words of Josh above “will leave most potential investors running for the hills”


  46. Imagine the above scenario, and the Governor of the Central Bank and the Prime Minister up here begging Bajans left, right and centre, to invest in Barbados. To buy its bonds, to buy land, build homes and build up the country. Why? That kind of skulduggery does not happen in Canada with politicians taking kickbacks, bribes, fees and commissions. They get paid a salary for the work they do, no extra is expected.

    Of course, there was the case of Mulroney and the envelopes of cash from Hans Karl Schrieber(?). There was an inquiry or court case (cant clearly recall) but there was no proof of kickbacks, so he got off. We all have our opinions on that. That was a one-off that I recall in my 48 years in this land.

    Then there are the tiefing lawyers, so if you wanted to do business in Barbados who would you approach? Not the government, not the lawyers. Its best to keep our dollars stuffed in the duvet.


  47. We must hear from the Prime Minister and from the Leader of the Opposition on this Cahill fiasco.Recall when the Four Seasons matter was being thrown around,it was said that the LOO was retained.


  48. How can Mia or any MP make any comments in the House about this or any major issue that may come up when it has been in recess since late August – about a month ago – and will not be convening again until October 20th – another 3 weeks from now. Some 7-8 weeks on vacation … WITH PAY.

    Do any of you check out what is going on in Parliament – its just a couple clicks away.
