Dear Editor,
I read your editorial of May 1, 2014 and noticed a quote from Minister Phillip Paulwell saying that the IDB's refusal to fund Jamaica's energy project is a "damnation" of our country. Maybe he is correct.
Where were you and the rest of Jamaica when Paulwell was interferring with the bidding process and squeezed in EWI after the process was closed? Where were you and the rest of Jamaica when the contractor general (CG) wrote to Parliament informing them that Paulwell was improperly faciilitating EWI in the bidding process? Did you write an editorial backing the CG?
What about Parliament? They were warned by the CG and they did nothing to rectify the situation. It's only now that the IDB has spoken and refused to fund the project that folks have now started to see the light.
We all need to wake up and smell the coffee. If Paulwell was stopped quickly when he started Jamaica would not have found itself in this pickle.
