The Tribune

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Your story on page two - “Investors to be encouraged to submit proposals for landfill” begs certainly a question to the good Minister responsible for the Environment and Housing - in your life prior to May 10th you were a professional consultant in this area and known to be probably connected to some of the local or even foreign companies that sought this concession.

Will this possible RFP for the concession for the management of the landfill be the first challenge of the promised openness - integrity and totally uncompromised management of Government business by the Minnis Government in The People’s Time?

There are actually two Ministers who, in my opinion, should abstain in the process totally - the Minister of the Environment and naturally the Minister of Agriculture owing to his link to the infamous Stellar Waste $100m proposal.

I hope the press are watching - I know the People are as this is important to ensure the People’s business is carried out with total uncompromised transparency.

If both Ministers do not declare they have advised the Prime Minister that they have to abstain then we know the rest of the story - business, oh, so regrettably, is obviously as usual…..those pious words pre-May 10th meant nothing!
