i would like to know how much Mr Molwyn is been paid to keep talking about generators when there are issues in his constituency to address is he a representative or a lobbyist??????? ?

**Anonymous** » 2012-04-15 17:52

Was a commission of enquiry held in the Rolls Royce Affair ? Molwyn has more heart than a pack of cards.

**THE MECHANIC** » 2012-04-15 13:27

Molywn, it is time for you to exit politics, you are really getting down in age, the picture says it all. Go and rest yourself Bo....

We have become a police state--witness this last few days where you cannot even drive on the pot holed roads without being stopped for "inspection"- or the traffic "officer thought you were not wearing a seat belt" and are fined with only his evidence!
Why do we the business stakeholders who are being creamed to pay for all the extravagancies, create a fund, so that we can carry out our OWN investigation and present documentary evidence? eg, the factory where the generators where FINALLY loaded only produces refurbished generators! Track the costings of the car park - so that we can determine the side payments- how much & to whom. The "actual cost of the new tax compliance facilities and finders fees!
Should not cost too much - just need a couple of tenacious diligent persons- obviously who do not have a current business at stake!!

The comments posted under this news story are as fascinating as they are thought provoking. In most cases, they were "...WELL REASONED." Particularly fascinated by the comment of "...ANTIGUAN WOMAN" in what she (assumingly) had offered "...LAYMAN" explanations.

From Law enforcement perspective, when citizens have reasons to make complaints/accu sations/allegat ions against anyone, Law enforcement do not say "...bring the evidence" or ask "...where is the evidence?"
The complaints/accu sations/allegat ions would be enough to "...arouse suspicion" and to propel the "...investigati ve machinery" into motion.

In other words, if there were "...reasonable suspicion" that something may have happened, then such is followed by investigation to unearth"...EVID ENCE." Procedurally, there is no other way.

Finance Minister Harold Lovell, astute and with a legally trained mind is certainly not a fool. and therefore, may not advance utterances that "...INTELLIGENT PEOPLE" may conclude were inconsistent with the Oath of office, professional ethics and more importantly with the cardinal concept called "...TRUTHFULNES S."

The power plant issue will make Molwyn Rolls Royce a better leader than the Lester.

**Osbert R. Frederick** » 2012-04-14 19:03

The UPP will never have an inquiery into the Wadadli Power Plant purchase. This would start a domino effect that would destroy the government. They are all covering up for each other. To inquire into this would mean an inquiery into the fence insue, Romantic Rhythems, Carnival, Road program; and the list goes on and on. Allof them had better seek to get run from Antigua after the next election, because there will be inquieries into all of these and 1735 will have to find room for all of them who hame without mercy raped this country.

**Antiguan Woman** » 2012-04-14 17:04

I am not of legal mind,but let me try to explain in simple lay man terms the saga that you seem not to understand.what introduction of evidence?? Are we persecuting a murder case here? We,re asking for a thorough Investigation into the Wadadli plant purchase,We are not satisfied with what our eyes are seeing and do not think it is worth our $47mill,ours not the upp,s or BS.The evidence is already there that something is wrong with the engines,whether new/old.It is not our duty to search for evidence,we were not involved in the transaction,tho se who were, have all the evidence we need inorder to determine what went wrong,if there is nothing to hide,why not end all the doubts and speculation and bring the evidence of them been new to the public,i am sure we will be humbled into silence if that could be done,but i will not hold my breath.

You are The Truth..

**rupert j.** » 2012-04-14 15:43

I thought this issue was over ut apparantly it is not, there are some people who are beating this dead horse to death and not for the peoples benefit but for their own polilical means its not for love of country or people.

**SlyThatGuy** » 2012-04-14 15:00

Folks, do not be fooled! Be aware that by making these shameless accusations against the UPP government,the Antigua Labor Party intends to confuse and deceive the nation.They have accused the prime minister of many wrongdoings. But Interestingly enough,they were never able to present any proof to support their claim.This might help you get a clearer understanding as to why they're still making all this fuss after Harold Lovell spoke of the introduction of evidence as a condition under which the administration would allow an inquiry into the issues.

**Antiguan Woman** » 2012-04-14 14:55

Speak as you like Molwyn,the truth always distrubs. Let those with all the evidence of wrong doings against you bring them forth and persecute,not only you but all in the Alp that they have so much evidence against,or else it is really time to find some other platform to campaign on,I am really tired of hearing, that soo much wrong was done,and after almost a decade,nothing can be done to who done them.This argument of corruption and lock up has become weary, it is worn out and can no longer stand the test of getting the Upp re-elected,unle ss of course Antiguans are the most illiterate people on planet earth,and we all know thats not so,So bring the evidence,arrest the Perps and lets move on,it will not however stop us from asking questions about the fences, the roads,and the generators.

To me Lovell did not come over as a very good liar. He seemed to be fumbling for words when it came to the power plant…his body language had to have been interesting to the interviewers. His floundering for words appeared to make him angry. As an educated person he must know what the inevitable consequences will be. This scenario brought home the fact that the type of towing the line party ethics that we have is very wrong and really does give an open door to abusing the system and also establishing dictatorship. Perhaps the ALP can think about this and make plans to change the system in the future to reassure a public that is no longer ignorant to the true meaning of a real “for the people” democracy. How can there ever be good governance in this country if every minister and senator, in order to keep position and perhaps ability to steal, has no other option than to tow the line with a pack load of childish lies regardless of whether he/she is in agreement or not. With perhaps the exception of one or two of the other issues, IMO, Lovell was a disgrace on Thursday and ended the interview as the total loser of credibility.

**BEEF** » 2012-04-14 13:30

So that is it Mr. Lovell? Okay!! Time longer than twine. That is all I will say.

**Concern Antiguan** » 2012-04-14 13:09

Listen! if you have nothing to hide lay the cards on the table. If you have something to hide do not lay the cards on the table. 47m dollars is cause for concern. We do not need an inquiry. The police has probable cause to investigate the individuals involved for fraud and misrepresentati on. In the event credible evidence is discovered, they should be arrested and charge for crime against the state. There are enough reasons to question them for white collar crime. A crime is a crime. Whether a man is accused of stealing a can of milk , or they perpetrating fraud by stealing millions of dollars. What is the difference? Lovelle fail to realize that the country elected parliamentarian s to conduct the business of the state. If half of the elected parliamentarian s are calling for an inquiry, something must be wrong. Police Commission Brown called in on Observer radio pre-good friday night trying to chastice serpent. According to the commission, he hold himself out as a professional and a crime fighter. This is the kind of crime he should be undertaking. let us see his true medal. Not some non sense about selling rum on good friday.

**Karim.J** » 2012-04-14 10:35

Lets deal with the facts and not personalities.. Molwyn ran the Ministry of Finance During the World Economic downture of the 90's without going to the IMF.
He built the cruise ship pier , increases tourism after sept 11 and got 2 hotels built ! This thing about an old rolls royes was fabricated by his adversaries in the ALP,and was cleared by an investegation .
Why Dr BS and Shiulin don't want an inquire into the spending of $47,000,000usd if they have nothing to HIDE????

**No Ghost** » 2012-04-14 09:58

is grey Ghost for real? I VOTED for both parties in the past..against the UPP last Election and for them in 99. it would be nice for party hacks to stand up and tell ANY supporting party that their policies and/or agenda are WRONG. Period. Call them out when ever you perceive that they are approaching the .dereliction of duty' clause that you voted for. Don't accept any less for accountability and transparency ..the pillars..I might add.. your UPP preached to become your elected party. So STOP with the...''u did it too'' syndrome... If it is wrong, condemn ANY one of them to say it is wrong. You will be a better person and we might just follow your lead to become a better people..!!

**Grey Ghost** » 2012-04-14 09:27

Molwyn if Antigua and Barbuda was really a dictatorship Lester Bird, Asot, Ron and many of you would be sitting in 1735 right now. And about transparency and accountability there was none under ALP, so sell your hogwash and poopooganda to those you are catering for.

I do accept, that Government and opposition responsibility is firstly the peoples interest, but many like you can and will always be used by monied intereset to further their agenda. These are glaring issues that are lacking in both parties, and it is time it stop. PM Baldwin and his cabinet are accountable, and failure to adhere can result in theirremoval, but never again to be replaced by ALP. This is New Generation time!

**Toonuff** » 2012-04-14 08:14

"this is an issue of accountability" … says the man with a taste for Rolls Royce cars and a $100,000 cheque from RAS xxxxxn in the xaxk of his waxxet......

**Fire!** » 2012-04-14 07:43

Besides the pictures and Wilmouth's letter is there any concrete evidence that the engines are not new?

If the engines are indeed new why would the PM BS and David Shoul not want to settle this issue once and for all by allowing an investigation?

To me, it is either a case of the engines being old, or if they are new, then it is a situation that there is a problem with the actual misspending (rip-off)of the poor people's money!

Either way it is a real shame that the PM will drag all his cabinet colleagues (except Wilmouth) through this "xxxx" with him and David!

Congratulations to Caribarena and those who have kept this issue alive. Shame on Baldwin Spencer and David Shoul our country deserves much better than what the two of them have so far dished out!

**Smoke n Mirrors** » 2012-04-14 03:18

The first time the UPP disregarded the constitution is a clear indication that Dr. BS was paving the path to a dictatorship. The Pitbull Daniel went on air & spoke of receiving a bribe & nothing happened. The report from the Governor General on the Public Inquiry still has not been turned over to the public. This Power Plant issue will NEVER see an inquiry as long as Dr BS & his band of liars are in office. Our democracy is rapidly being erroded & since Antiguans have short memories by the time they call elections & bribe the ppl with a ham, turkey & cash they won't care about a generator never mind democracy.
