BU continue its pursuit of truth!
The Cahill fiasco continues to be another transaction which exposes the shortcomings in our system of governance. […] During the Barbados Labour Party government it was 3S Barbados Limited and Hardwood. This administration finds itself dealing with Cahill Barbados Limited.
The following Cahill leaks give further insight into how governments and cohorts interact with investors.

I am trying to post this link to give an idea of what is required for such a plant. If the lnk doesn’t work, cut and paste.

During a church service for CARICOM Energy Week in the Christ Church Parish Church this morning, Boyce said the plan was to save up to $300 million a year in fuel by 2020 by utilising solar and wind energy.
The Renewable energy bandwagon is rolling.
Solar an Wind.
@enuff
Where on the Sussex website you are pointing to?
@Pieces, I really was not sure if you were being serious @ 2:19 PM or if it was just a rant not requiring a response. Obviously here I am so I presumed you were serious. So let’s see if you will review this with me quickly.
–You say I “seem to get tied up in the personal thing” despite the fact your blog-mate Bush Tea opened his response to my comments with the very impersonal (sarcasm intended) “Dee ingrunt Word talking shiite again”. And you improved on that with “your puerile comment”.
Also despite the fact that blogging is infinitesimally personal, yet I am accused specifically of getting personal in my responses. The ONLY person on this blog who does not get personal is Jeff Cumberbatch. OK.
Maybe you were referring to my attempt to validate my bona-fides by speaking about personal experiences. I thought I was clarifying that my remarks were based on actual real life experience. Obviously that fell flat. Alas.
— You ask me to revisit Enuff’s remarks and my ‘monochrome interpretations’. An interpretation which concluded quite clearly : “This project was organized this way [because] the gov’t parties involved WANTED it this way. So please do not attempt to apply practical rules of management or negotiations to it or even extrapolate those features to anything done by corrupt government officials.”
I resolutely made the point that any proper working system would not work like this while affirming that the Bajan ministers were operating in this manner to suit their corrupt needs.
Yet you obviously reused to read ALL the comments in context and thus with nary a ‘shame’ write in response: “…when it comes to seeing some things that are not explicitly stated, you get lost and unable to apply your normal Sherlock Holmes-like skills”.
Ok. Sounds about right to me. As I said at top Pieces, I really wasn’t sure you were being serious.
But let me repeat. I know how it works in BIM. I know that gov’t ministers get involved. I know they will be right there in negotiations and right there at the presentations. I know that they will find a way to accept an invitation to a ‘conference’ or other related ‘business activity’ even as ministry officials caution you of rules preventing any gifts or direct ‘contact’ that can be misconstrued and even when the US Foreign Cor Practices Act and the Canadian equivalent must be adhered too.
That is the real Bajan world. Keeping close daily tabs on key (most) projects and Injecting their opinion has been the way of local Ministers forever. Even regular contact with the money man/woman on a project this large is expected.
This goes way beyond that type of ‘micromanaging’ and was the point from start. .
So I suggest you re-read with your ‘my rant view only matters’ blinkers OFF. I’ll accept an apology. LOLLL
@Dee Word
A good example of micro management is the MoF inserting himself in the BRA/Customs matter although he had no ”standing” at the table. When challenged by Caswell his roll was changed.

@David,
I wrote my last blog before I listened to the taped conversations. I have always been brought up to respect others,their privacy and expect them as individuals.I listened to these taped conversations. I have reservations about what I heard, but what sickened me about them, was the realization of the extent to which certain of the government’s opponents would go to ensure that the government would be brought down. I have heard about dirty politics, but here is a perfect example. The illegal taping and publishing of telephone conversations, to make a political point is low,low.
Many will find it salacious and infer much from them, but I look at it in a completely different light. This is what I mean by innuendo, rumour, and false information. Snippets of information etc give the wrong impression. This is why I have to intervene, and put in my two cents worth, in the interest of fairness and clarity.
Rooftop solar to overtake coal capacity in Australia by 2030
By Giles Parkinson on 18 June 2015
The capacity of rooftop solar on Australian homes and businesses is expected to overtake that of coal fired generation within the next decade – underlying the dramatic change of power in the energy sector, and the massive investment by consumers in their own electricity needs.
The forecast comes from the Australian Energy market Operator, which predicts that rooftop solar – currently standing at around 4.2GW – will continue to grow to as much as 25GW by 2034.
At some point in the next decade, this means, the installed capacity of rooftop solar will overtake that of coal-fired generation, which is currently at around 27GW but will decrease dramatically in coming years as plants such as Playford, Northern, Liddell and others are closed down and phased out.
Imagine if homeowners in Barbados were to do the same . The Cachill project could be buried before the plant becomes operational.
The ACs seem to approach this problem from tangent. Sad to say, their tangent completely misses the circle. To talk of illegal taping and publishing and to completely ignore the subject matter is tantamount to burying one’s head in the sand,
@TheObserver
It is what yardfowls do.
Normally, I just scroll pass Alvin’s comments but I took time to read his last and I conclude that you can’t get any yardfowler than this.
Back to scrolling pass.

Why wunna don’t stop insulting yardfowls nuh?
That man is simply an idiot….
Yardfowls sell their souls to a party in exchange for some crumbs from the table…. fair enough…. wunna think AC don’t collect…? 🙂
An idiot is just clueless….. knowing not that (s)he knows not….

Thanks Enuff, transparency at work.
Last I heard Alvin, nothing that any government does is private, not when it affects the taxpayers, which is the public, what private what…lol
Follow the money…..Kyffin along with Bizzy,Geoffrey Cave and Bernie Weatherhood lost a few million in the ’80s with their input in a local airline named Carib Express.Bizzy forgot his losses and resurfaced bigtime in Redjet.Lost a few miliion more,I think he himself said 8 million.Bernie took over Trans Island and couldn’t maintain it.
Follow the money…….Wonder boy McConney was placed on the LIAT board by these unlucky DLP guys.(they can’t do anything right)Next thing we hear is that an airline called Seaborne is buying out LIAT. Further that Seaborne looking to set up operations in Barbados. We are standing by to hear who will be the suckers this time around. At least George Hutson the onliest hardworking minister who is alleged to have installed a $25,000.00 shower and bathroom in his office at International Transport,is not in the cabinet to take the blame for failing to get things shipshape in a timely fashion.
Cow-an says Sinclair and Lowe are despised by the locals so they have to deliver something to make them acceptable again.Cow-an got to be kidding.It’s more likely these guys might face the wrath of the people in due course.Its not only Mia and Bizzy stirring the pot.
Alvin Cummins you are becoming a real useless worm. I am going to speak to my peeps and ask them if I can expose a little more of your nastiness. Stay tune Alvin if they say yes, call your lawyer. If they say no, rest assured. You and your government are evil.
This Cahill project is a recipe for a disaster. Take a look at the story below:
“Environmental disaster hits Brazil.
Brazil dam burst: BHP boss to inspect disaster zone with dozens still missing
Shares in the mining multinational continued to fall amid calls for more regulation in the wake of the collapse of two dams at its co-owned iron ore mine”
Gabriel….that is indeed the correct spelling…Kyffin, hence the Canadian pronounciation of Kevin.
It is impossible to feel anything but disdain for any of this self-interested. conniving (given to or involved in conspiring to do something immoral, illegal, or harmful), cast of characters; with possible exception of Dominic (Fitzpatrick) who seems like a basically honest guy who has been dragged into this mess and can find no way out, so has to keep on trying to get something done to get TWs fees paid.
BTW, DD does not believe that Kevin is Kyffin.
While off topic, de ole man thought that his was worth of mention since it spoke to political alligators and crocodiles which abound in Barbados
“The head of Indonesia’s anti-drugs agency has proposed building a prison island guarded by crocodiles to house death-row drug convicts.
Budi Waseso said crocodiles often made better guards than humans – because they could not be bribed. He said he would visit different parts of the Indonesian archipelago in order to find the fiercest reptiles.
Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world and ended a four-year moratorium on executions in 2013. “We will place as many crocodiles as we can there,” Mr Waseso was quoted as saying by local news website Tempo.
“You can’t bribe crocodiles. You can’t convince them to let inmates escape.”
Given Winston Hall’s escape and the most recent issue of wardens wukking up at Jolly Roger cruises with accused parties who are on bail, since the DLP parliamentarians, euphemism for alligators, will soon be looking fuh wuk, they cud all be hired at the Dodds Moat in a similar capacity
Piece…I like that dude Waseso already.
Due Diligence….it would be interesting to hear your take on that…

You all dealing with crooks , liars and scumbags, and nothing they can do or say will fix that , but removal from a bought and paid for Election, You all love playing with fire , so now its time to get burnt ,

Prime Minister Stuart you are really a low blow to the democratic process in Barbados. You are no leader you are a complete imbecile. I have no respect for you or your government after the way you have treated Barbadians. You have made us the laughing stock and brought our island home into disrepute. The only wish I have for you and your administration is all bad. You should resign and leave the country.@@@@
Welcome to Our World of thinking, As you look closer you will see more of the same all over the Island dealing with BOTH PARTIES, ,,Money, Greed, Fraud, PONZI driven .
