Barbados Today May 26, 2021 Leader of the Opposition Bishop Joseph Atherley has urged Government to revolutionize the National Housing Corporation (NHC) and reform land policy to give more working-class Barbadians the ability to own a piece of the rock. He made the call in the House of Assembly as he blamed the current housing policy for benefitting the privileged and keeping the plantation economy system alive and well. But in an impassioned response, Minister of Energy, Small Business and Entrepreneurship Kerrie Symmonds stoutly defended the Government’s track record and cried shame on Bishop Atherley for choosing to ignore its progress and continued efforts.
Headlines that Matter for Companies and Executives in Regulated Industries DOJ Developments Government Contractor Pleads Guilty to Defrauding the Afghan Government of $100 Million The owner of Assist Consultants Incorporated (ACI), an Afghan company that has received over $250 million in US-funded contracts since 2013, pleaded guilty to wire fraud for his role in an alleged scheme to defraud the government of Afghanistan of over $100 million. These funds were provided to Afghanistan by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for the purpose of constructing an electric grid in the country. According to court documents, in July 2015, ACI submitted a bid to Afghanistan’s national power utility, Da’ Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), for the construction of five electric power substations. In order to meet the requirement that bidders must have substantial experience building electric power substations, ACI falsely represented that it worked as a subcontractor to a prime contractor on two power stations in Uganda and Nigeria. In reality, the alleged prime contractor was a fictitious entity that was actually invented and controlled by ACI, and ACI never built any substation in Africa. Following DABS’ request for supporting documentation in February 2016, the defendant allegedly directed two co-conspirators to travel to Uganda and Nigeria to obtain false documents to respond to the request. The defendant ultimately submitted a purported subcontractor agreement, false bank records, and a false letter from a Ugandan government official.
