BRILLIANT! DIGITUS Simply BRILLIANT!

1. Kenny and Company Kenny and Co simply said "we will guarantee any cost overrun"; they did not put themselves in any position to know whether cost overruns claims were genuine or not. For me that is really, really sad and disappointing - that a bunch of educated men some of them lawyers could do such a foolish thing.
2. You want to know the people who walked away with money in their pockets from the sale? Why, the lawyers at McNamara of course. They are the best people to tell us why Frenwell had to be created, especially as this was done after construction was completed. By then they knew they were in a finanical hole and they saw Kenny and CO as the only ones to get them out of it. We must remember Sandals bought the hotel while it was in liquidation and at an upset price which certainly did not include the money Kenny and Co put in. Kenny could have gotten his jobs and some of the taxpayer's money back if he had received shares for the guarantee. So for him to claim he got jobs for the money is disingenuous. Jobs would have come anyway. Fact is he lost nearly $15 million US dollars of the taxpayers money. AND BECAUSE WHAT HE DID WAS NOT ILLEGAL HE STILL BELIEVES HE DID NOTHING WRONG

I think ST Lucia is loosing more money than it ever lost under Kenny with this present incompetent government. The list of wastage is so long we cannot even count it, if i have to type them i will not finish tonight. We all St Lucians know them so do not worry.

DIGITUS again brings up salient points.

The public should also recognize that the Ramsahoyle was NOT designed to uncover fraud or criminality - in spite of what some of the terms of reference were.
The facts are as follows:

Most of the key players did not turn up to give oral evidence. No Kenny, or Menissa or Finisterre or Henry Charles or DIWI or Rochamel owners or the bank or the lawyers for the bank or Rochamel's owners.

The commission operated on a rediculous time frame. Commissions of this nature CANNOT conduct their business in less than 6 months at best. They did 6 weeks of work. All they ended up was with a chronological list of events which were enlightening but did not get to the bottom of the issues or dig for fraud.

Even with this enlightenment the duplicity still continues.
