However, she acknowledged that a number of other companies are involved in the process. Technip [BU’s emphasis] is an international engineering firm that has done extensive work on the project over the span of the past two years and the company has already done a site visit at Vaucluse – cahill energy website

Cahill Energy Limited leaked documents (see below) give insight into a contract signed between Cahill Energy Limited and Technip in April 2013. Technip is a global Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) service provider to the energy industries. – see profile. Here is our read of what the memorandum between Cahill Energy and Technip conveys:
The contract netted MECC €650,000.00 or CAN950,000.00 in cash payments in April of 2013.
Although Technip is a large multinational EPC contracting company, it appears to have been clutched by Cahill Energy and Cowan as they [Technip] try very hard to secure the EPC linked to the building of the gasification plant at Vaucluse. The lukewarm response given by the Barbados government in recent weeks to the project begs the question – what financial obligation binds Barbados to agreements signed by four rogue ministers. Concerned Barbadians continue to be optimistic the Prime Minister will address the people on recent Cahill developments before…
Here is a question for CEO of Cahill Energy Clare Cowan – tell us more about the two projects mentioned in the leaked document located in Glasgow and Stara Zagira?
The moral of this the Cahill Scam is that if a large global company can by duped by MECC, so too a few ministers in Barracuda!

And pretty soon we will hear that the plastic community water tanks are so successful, that they will become a permanent feature, only this time they will be constructed out of concrete. Mark my looney word.

“Yes the Privatisation gimmick still stuck in the craw of the blp foot soldiers
Since it seems that the foot soldiers confidence level for such a remedy remains at an all time high..”
So you are still so ‘anti-privatization’ despite the stated intentions of your ventriloquist dummy Minister of Finance announcing IMF orders?
Why is the dyslexic ‘malapropos’ member of the ac consortium not supporting the Minister in carrying out his orders from on High? What are you waiting for? To make yourself look like a bigger hypocrite when you are compelled in the coming months to support the DLP administration IMF imposed privatization programme?
You so politically blind that you cannot hear the trumpet of privatization (aka outsourcing) resounding through the corridors of the public sector. How else can the current administration achieve its ‘imposed’ objective of restructuring and rationalizing the statutory corporations and agencies in order to bring staffing levels in the public sector below 20,000 by 2016/2017?
Which public sector function do you think would be up for outsourcing from next school year? School Meals? It ticks all the “Ready for Outsourcing” boxes, don’t you think?
The Adopt -a-Kilometre is an outsourcing job that has seen hundreds of NCC staff sent home.

Ahhh, AC, the next general elections will present a different scenario for you DLP “yard-fowls and foot soldiers.”
Do you think those former employees of NCC, NHC, Drainage Unit, Beautify Barbados, Transport Board, Post Office and the other government agencies, their relatives and friends, and all those persons who cannot afford to attend UWI, will easily forgive the liars Barbados has for a prime minister and finance minister?
You lied to Barbadians to get their votes.
Only vote buying will save you in 2018.

“Art, you are right except that the DLP’s version of ‘outsourcing’ gets the job done by the private sector lackies while still employing public sector workers to do nothing.”
FB, I’m Mark Maloney will agree…….. well, that’s if he is honest with himself.

With a little common sense and creativity, those hundreds of NCC staff could have done SUCH a good job of cleaning the roads, the beaches, the parks and the city that NO ONE would have DARED to touch them…..
As it is, we ALL know that they were just playing the ass ..and goofing off…
Compare them to the Sanitation Dept…

The GoB has been given the mandate of reducing the public sector workforce to below 20,000; probably to around 18,000.
How can an incompetent administration with an astronomically rising debt servicing long-term liability and a comatose economy meet its personnel costs without sacrificing some of its non-economically viable functions like employing non-productive politically placed spongers?

Shiite….Somebody only got to mention ‘privatisation’ and you does jump out from under that rock like a tiger…. You like you got something lined up yuh… the airport?
There is NO magic about ‘privatisation’ boss. The issue is GOOD MANAGEMENT.
Despite everything that has happened in Barbados to suggest it over the last 25 years, government and ‘good management’ are NOT mutually exclusive….
check out Australia as an example.
Why must you solve the problem of ‘Jackasses having invaded our parliament’ by giving all that we own to strangers – for them to manage in THEIR own interests? ….when we can kick the JAs and their lackies and minions out on their donkeys…and hire some HC and QC brainiacs?
Leave out that BLP shiite talk and join Caswell, Jeff and Walter in BUP do …!!! 🙂

No matter HOW much money you give a brass bowl jackass …he will end up broke.

Do you know if BU has to interview many of these ministers and parliamentary secretaries holding guvment positions they could not make the short list?

“See why Bushie would have fired the minister, Neblett and half the NCC managers and supervisors now …?”
Bushie, Lowe, Neblett and the NCC board of directors should have resigned for two reasons:
1) Stuart ADMITTED that, based on evidence provided during a meeting held at government headquarters in May 2014, there appeared to be “procedural missteps” in the retrenchment process.
2) Stuart referred the matter to the Employees Rights Tribunal.
But the PM also said the task of correcting these “procedural missteps” should not fall on the NCC management, reason being he referred the matter to a then non existent ERT. Stuart should have resigned as well.

Now THAT is a real scandal for yuh….

Bushie, I heard Lowe was removed as Minister of Social Care because he sent a fax to a contractor asking how much he (contractor) was prepared to pay him (Lowe) for obtaining work at UDC.

We cannot get out of this recession when you have crooks on the BLP side looking after their pockets and thieves and the DLP side looking after their future comforts. If you are looking after your interests, something has to give. In this case, mismanagement of the economy and neglect of key sectors to focus on money kick back projects. Who in their right mind builds a prison for almost a billion dollars. Who will crooked is ass Mia did. Who deliberately set out to make Hardwood Housing as profitable as it can be. Who did Mia and Mascoll did. Who spends millions on Greenland without acknowledging the cries of those he said not the right place to build yet went ahead and build anyway but could never use. Who did, crooked BLP Eastmond of course. Who decided that after the years of plunder and get rich schemes by the crooked BLP that it there turn to get as much money as possible out of their own deals and stupidity without properly covering their tracks, Who did, the Lying DLP Stuart Administration and a dirty Lowe all of whom were willing to sell Barbados to con artist poser for a few pieces of sliver and then gold for several years to come. All are a bunch of cunthole thieves.
There was a successful black business at the corner of Roebuck and Spry called Stuart and Sampson.They survived in a hostile environment by skillful use of assets.
There is an unsuccessful black business sat the corner of Bay and Beckles called Stuart and Sinckler.They borrow every month to pay salaries.It is unbusinesslike and a folly.

“but wunna such hypocrites, for fourteen longggggggg years wunna put up wid lying and thieving and all kinds of corruption and didnt say a dam thing or maybe wunna jjust did not care as long as wunna belly was full….”
After reading this particular contribution by the consortium, I realized they made the above comments either “tongue in cheek” or in innuendo, with specific reference to Michael Carrington.
It took Carrington’s former client, 78 year old John Griffiths, “fourteen longggggggg years” of, pleading, beseeching, imploring, asking and begging Carrington earnestly to return the money he stole from him. Griffiths subsequently had to solicit the services of the law courts to retrieve his money.
So, yuh see, AC, “wunna such hypocrites, for fourteen longggggggg years (Griffiths) put up wid lying and thieving and all kinds of corruption” (from Carrington), who “didnt say a dam thing or maybe (he) just did not care as long as (his) belly was full,” since kept the money for himself and then could not repay.
AC, you like you does do more damage to the DLP than those you accuse of being “BLP yard fowls, misfits and foot soldiers,” yuh.

Well said, Artaxerxes! You and miller are the right ones to silence this ac consortium………they are the worst.
Have you ever noticed that it is only these yardfowls who talk about feasting on the taxpayers money? People talk about getting into office to serve but not these dems……..it is “we have our hands in the till and we belly full so we aint letting wunnah get back at it”.
They become vicious every time they think that they will lose out on this feast! How pathetic!
The 3 year anniversary of the Technip agreement with Clare Cowan expires on the 24th of April. It appears she has gotten away with €650’000.00 free money for doing nothing just hanging on or has she.
