Former Minister Donville Inniss

The blogmaster couldn’t avoid the noise generated in the local newsfeed covering the return of former member of parliament Donville Inniss. Inniss was incarcerated in the United States for breaking money laundering laws and suffered the embarrassment of being deported last weekend.

Inniss served his time and is free to continue with his endeavours in idyllic Barbados, UNLESS, local authorities intend to prosecute a matter that originated in Barbados. There is a good chance local authorities will allow the Inniss matter to die in the spirit of a few protecting the many which is the mantra of the political directorate.

The blogmaster will not judge the Don except to say many are not as convinced of his innocence as he is.. It would be in the interest of local authorities to give Donville his day in a local court so that he can expose the lies of the ‘pale face people and house niggas’ he referred to in his home coming media orchestrating. 

Barbadians should keep in memory that another local, Alex Tasker has an extradition matter pending – if successful – has the potential to shed additional light on the matter as it relates to how local actors assisted in the crime Inniss was convicted in the USA. The fight against extradition by Alex Tasker a former local employee of ICBL and Ingrid Innes former CEO domiciled in Canada have the potential to keep Inniss in the unfavourable glare of the public for some time. 

Commonsense suggests the political ambition of Donville Inniss has been extinguished. However, the blogmaster joins with concerned Barbadians to fuss against the inability of the political establishment to materially commit to rooting white collar corruption. Do not bother to refer to Barbados’s standing on the Transparency Index, a measure based on a perception shaped by players who are mainly responsible for the current state of affair.

On a related note the blogmaster read about the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) meeting advertised, a joint zonal meeting today (26 March 2023) with former candidates Michael Lashley, David Estwick and Neil Marshall promoted to speak. Sometimes so much more can be conveyed by simply making and observation without commenting.

In God we trust!

    “The two invoices you referenced were drawn on two separate divisions of BF&M. This is what is claimed to set off ‘internal audit red flags’. The CFO Millar admitted to generating each invoice. Why then were they debited to two different BF&M divisions. Or merely a clerical choice?”

    @ NorthernObserver

    The Court also heard testimony from BF&M’s Vice-President and Financial Controller, Gloria Legere.

    She testified of having conducted her own investigation after discovering a US$20,000 disbursement by BF&M General insurance in the 2nd quarter of 2016, and realised a similar payment was made in 2015 by BF&M Life Insurance, but encountered some difficulty in identifying the reasons why the payments were disbursed and who authorised them.

    Legere admitted it was not the norm, as payments to the same business were usually paid by the same BF&M company (‘internal audit red flags???’).

    She subsequently discovered the disbursements represented payments for consulting fees charged to ICBL by Crystal Dental Labs’ New York branch.

    Repeated efforts by Legere to contact CDL proved unsuccessful, so she decided to call the company’s branch in Virginia, US, but, was was told no such consultations services had been rendered.

    She also tried repeatedly to source information from Innes, former Chief Financial Officer Kamante Millar and BF&M’s former Chief Information Officer Paul Matthews, to no avail.

    ICBL did not have any business relations with Crystal Dental Labs.

    Obviously, those events would have initiated an internal investigation.

    It was just a matter of time…Caswell can feel #vindicated…

    “Concern over pay of Ghanaian nurses

    IF GOVERNMENT WANTS to avoid a diplomatic embarrassment, it is being urged to swiftly solve a payment issue affecting some Ghanaian nurses.

    However, as Democratic Labour Party spokesperson for health Paul Gibson was sounding the alarm, Minister of Health and Wellness, The Most Honourable Senator Jerome Walcott, said the matter was being dealt with.

    Gibson has charged that more than 50 of the 122 Ghanaian nurses who arrived last October, were facing contractual issues and not being paid for their years of experience.

    “We have been selecting specialist nurses, we have given them a commitment that they will be paid properly and paid for their years of service in Ghana.

    “Some of those nurses have gone into the [Queen Elizabeth Hospital] but the ones that are in the Ministry of Health have not received a contract from the Ministry of Health in Barbados,” Gibson said.

    He added that if the matter was not settled, the nurses who he said were experiencing challenges with their expenses, were likely to take action, which could have negative implications for the polyclinic system.

    “Not only have they not received a contract.”

    Donville will be okay, because politicians ‘duz look out for one another.’
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Stop with the high-level attempts to mislead the Blog Artax…

    The reason that Donville will be OK is simple.
    Not a boy dares to cast the first stone at his donkey…. except Caswell and Bushie of course, but since the whacker get tek way, Bushy done with that stoning shiite (officially at least) 🙂

    Also.. this ‘Bee and Dee’ thing is just a scam to keep the brass bowls busy and feeling relevant. (as you well know) Wunna does flow smoothly….

    Talking bout songs… Can you imagine what would happen if Donville (or any of the countless petty bribe-takers in the Public Service ) REALLY started SINGING in a Court of Law?
    …like those big-up Public ‘servants’ on the Clear Water Board for example?
    ..or the Most Honorable PS who signed the order for the Radical vaccines?

    LOL
    Not only is Donville ‘OK’…
    But there are probably MANY political donkeys on both sides of the shitty fence, squeezed tightly shut in anticipation of his next moves..

    PRETTY OBVIOUS TO ANYONE EVEN WITH A PEA BRAIN THAT DONVILLE WAS TAKING BRIBES FOR YEARS ALSO WITH OTHER ENTITIES LOCALLY, HE ONLY GOT CAUGHT OUT BECAUSE OF THE USA PURSUING MONEY WIRED TO ITS JURISDICTION.

    I CAN REMEMBER THAT WHEN I RAN A REGIONAL COMPANY THE TOURISM MINISTER UNDER OWEN WOULD CALL ME ON A REGULAR BASIS TO SUPPORT HIS CONSTITUENCY OFFICE FOR DONATIONS FOR VARIOUS EVENTS.

    I REMEBER ONE DAY BEING TOLD HE WAS GIVEN US$40,000 CASH IN A BAG WHILST HE HAD TRAVELLED TO BERMUDA BY AN INVESTOR WHO WANTED TO DO A HOTEL/TOURISM PROJECT.

    THIS MONEY WENT INTO HIS BACK POCKET.

    THIS IS NOT HERESAY.

    It amazes me that these people are using the laws of another country to throw shade at Donville for actions that continue to this day in Barbados and that some of them might have benefited from. Patronage\corruption is core to Westminster, master\client relationships, and all the other pretty names we call Bribery notwithstanding. Practically all “appointments” given out by a Prime Minister have been done with the intent to curry favor and exact loyalty to them and their regime. This is core to the system of government we practice. So that if you are truly ashamed of Donville’s action, you should be ashamed of what takes place in this country every day as a matter of its political, governmental, and cultural norms.

    Is there anyone on BU who can explain the discrepancies behind these numbers. I can only presume Barbados is a more favourable and attractive place for conducting business than Singapore. The “favourable” ICIJ numbers underlines this “fact”?

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    My bet is you will find many of the Barbadian companies are shells setup to evade or avoid taxation and keep their beneficial owners shrouded in secrecy.

    You may find one lawyer named as a director of thousands of companies.

    Their names are pretty well known.

    Some are even knighted!!

    Run through the list of members of the Bar Association and see how many companies in the ICIJ database they direct or hold powers of attorney.

    It is difficult to believe the 1910 Companies Act required yearly shareholder returns be made but when it was replaced by the 1982 Companies act, this requirement was dropped.

    The companies employ minimal numbers and are often one man shows.

    In Singapore where they are serious about transparency and companies actually are expected to do something constructive you will find it is precious few meeting that qualification.

    You may also find that many in Barbados are setup to own real estate and ownership of the real estate passes with ownership of the shares in the company.

    Shares can be undervalued easier than property saving on Transfer Tax and Stamp Duty.

    So you are saying that because patronage/corruption is at the core of the Westminster system ,on occasions it raises its head in the full glare of the public we should ignore it? Isn’t this a grand opportunity because of the high visibility given to Donville’s incarceration we should respond to it for the public’s sake? A public that is low on apathy and trust of the system? How do we improve over time to hold public servants accountable? What should the system be evolving to.

    The question is what do males, females and transgenders involved in shootings have in common?

    Mental problems!!

    Most shootings are done by males so they are more likely to have mental problems than females who also have done shootings and have mental problems.

    Percentage wise, males and females are 49/51 of the total population, well almost if transgenders are not counted.

    This seems to be the first transgender so while females have more mental problems than transgenders, transgenders do have mental problems as well.

    Since the transgender population is so tiny, it is a fair bet that they have far more mental problems than either males or females which you would expect given their exercise of their right to choose.

    A single swallow does make a summer in their case.

  19. John Avatar
    John

    ie, if the whole population is considered, it is more likely for a transgender to commit a shooting than either males or females.

    It just goes to show that mental problems need to be addressed if shootings are to be reduced.

    If they aren’t, then shootings will get worse.

    Noting to do with stereotyping, it is plain statistics.

    It is more likely if you are in Chicago for you to be sot or killed by a black male.

    That however does not mean all black males in Chicago are killers.

    Statistics and stereotyping are different concepts.

    further, was on this meet last weekend, and though i saw nothing about it in mainstream media…understood that an apology was issued by UK for slavery but it was reinforced there will be no reparations…at least that’s what the lady who was present said…

    Not a dime attributed to the enslavement of our ancestors is to be going directly into the greasy, corrupt hands of these thieving political FRAUDS..in Barbados or anywhere else in the caribbean….

    Of course ‘you’ can be expected to take the cheap route of reframing my post into a ‘non sequitor’ then proceed to answering and or responding to it as if it is a legitimat inferrence.
    I will wait for you and others to respond to corruption in Barbados as whole rather than the cheap partisan approach of responding to Donville’s specific actions. When that occurs I may be tempted to believe that there is genuine willingness to agree that Westminster is at its core a corruptable system that we can look at for methods to curtail, address, and respond to its weaknesses in that regard.

    Some people have a stupid habit of bathing with sharks whose sole purpose in life apart from breeding is to devour any meal presented to them and with 100% certainty.

    In my researches I have found a single instance of a boy being devoured by a tiger shark off Speightstown in 1927.

    Did he have a stupid habit of bathing with sharks?

    Does that mean that all Bajans have a stupid habit of presenting themselves to sharks for their daily meal?

    *Political Patronage destroys a society based on merit and rots the democratic process. Patronage gives power to patrons and takes it away from everyone else. Patronage thrives on secrecy because the process is so shameful that even its greatest enthusiasts are loath to have to justify each decision.*

    *Patronage belongs in British history to a medieval age where kings bestowed favours, estates and titles as a means of control.*

    *Political Patronage is just another form of bribery, used for the sole purpose of undermining integrity.*

    …and this Mia Mottley-led regime – more than any other has used political patronage in every sphere of Barbadian power and governance structure to conclusively bind all of its power to her leanings and understanding.

    The majority of gun related deaths in the US is suicide.

    If we look at gun related deaths in Barbados, would you expect to find the same thing? Of course not.

    Like Chicago, most gun related deaths here are of young black males shot by other young black males who should not even have a gun.

    Clearly the prevalence of mental problems in the US is higher than Barbados and it occurs across the board!!

    A school shooter inevitably with almost 100% certainty will end up shot.

    Would you count this gun related death as a suicide?

    Check New Zealand.

    Check London.

    Gun restrictions but still can’t prevent mass shootings.

    The shooter has to have mental problems.

    As someone who spent a lifetime in construction and it’s various facets, and was lucky to work ‘all over’, I can tell you corruption is rampant ‘all over’ and has little to do with Westminster.
    In it’s worst form, it has to do with people controlling money and events which are not their own, and seeking personal benefits based on those. The key being ‘personal’ benefit. And often the decision take is that which benefits them the most, not those whom they are paid to represent.
    As such, patronage is a form of corruption. Again, that occurs well beyond Westminster systems or any other. It is a political entity using tax payer funds (money that isn’t their own or their political entity) to bestow a benefit on a person or group who supports them in some way, and hopes that support continues.
    This is a prime reason for political support? One knows once in power, they are a myriad of benefits which are controlled, and potentially available. Also known as the ‘political trough’.

    @David we only distill these affairs via political lens because politicians are OUR executives to whom we give over our permission to “run things’.

    As @Northern noted corruption permeates everything … so whether business or government its the SAME ‘patronage’ … just labelled differently.

    Shareholders deal with their company executives … we deal with ours.

    And @Northern, I didn’t explore as broadly as you did but my ‘limited’ business sphere regionally and through US and LatAm turned up the same concept of ‘patronage corruption’… thus I always get bamboozled when folks cry ‘foul’ loudly because one of their players gets a wrenching tackle in the same game in which said player’s team made many fearsome fouls !

    Of course, in this game of life and too on the field it’s often not the foul itself that ends ur play but what the referee sees and how s/he issues punishment.

    Two good bits of legal advice
    1) The US is rha last place to secrete ill-gotten gains. The system looks for poorakey third world politicians, eats them up and spits them out. (Ask Donville)

    2) If you have to steal money, then first consult Norman Leroy Lynch. The initial amount was $2.2M and this was shrunk to $457K and he will be walking the land free in a couple of days,

    This last one is free.

    Pacha…seeing reports where the Moroccan dude, Moncef Slaoui, big pharma type who initiated operation warp speed, the architect they called him, was allegedly arrested by army rangers…an arrest turned violent in early March.

    Things are happening.

    Lowhanging fruit first..

    Or were you referencing the fact in his sentencing hearing, DI told the US court there was no laws or limits on political donations in Barbados?
    In one pre trail motion, the request to say that ‘bribes were a custom or practice in Barbados’ was denied.
    As was the note from Innes to her lawyer, on the chronological order of events. This is the only time you will read that Innes was ‘suspended’ from ICBL.

    Since you live and work(ed) in the USA don’t you find it odd, that the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and it’s later amendments (those which “also apply to foreign firms and persons who, either directly or through intermediaries, help facilitate or carry out corrupt payments in U.S. territory”) doesn’t include the same behaviour by US persons or entities on USA soil?
