MAC CITES MARTIANS Tad Stoner

Calling for changes to the way government obtains goods and services, Premier McKeeva Bush on Friday said he didn’t care if “Martians” got the job done, as long as it was achieved. “I am answerable as Minister of Finance,” he said, referring specifically to the loosely constructed systems that enabled
him to negotiate a $155 million loan, later cancelled, from New York financier Cohen & Company in Oct 2010. “I want to be at arm’s length, though,” he told a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearing, answering a question from Chairman and Sister Islands MLA Moses Kirkconnell, who asked who should lead the changes. “It could be Martians doing it, I
don’t care. But the Cabinet should take the lead,” he told the fivemember committee. Mr Bush was on the stand at the Legislative Assembly Friday morning, defending himself against allegations in an August Auditor General report that he had badly managed the loan facility, lost money and bypassed recommendations of the Central Tenders Committee (CTC).
