Light Bulb saga heating up...

This cartoon in the Jamaica Observer summed it up quite well:



The Contractor General's report is in and he has made it quite clear that Kern Spencer has some explaining to do, possibly to the police and Director of Public Prosecutions. Check out the various articles listed at the end of the post for the full story. The red flags include:

  • No evidence of written contracts
  • No tendering process for contracts
  • Spencer concealed the fact that one of the project managers was his child's grandmother
  • Spencer's babymother was a project manager even though she admitted having zero experience
  • The two companies contracted had no prior business or operational track record when chosen

All the above are more than enough reasons to believe that something is rotten and I look forward to the full story and Kern Spencer's response.
