Who owns this security firm?
what is the point in the tender process anyway. just a waste of time. Gov is going to do what it wants, when it wants, where it wants. We are so very lost in this country.
So it is world wide. So why target this government so unfairly, despite my issues with it?
Because this in OUR Government. Doesn’t matter what is world wide… WE ARE HERE ..do the right thing!
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why the government dont use the RVPF instead????
For them to thief it????
Yo dont put rat to mind cheese
RVIPF to do security job? Then best you send RVIPF to guard the clubs, banks and hospital too.
That’s the problem with you idiots. Y’all are uninformed but like to air your mouths and spew your ignorance. The RVIPF is not controlled by the elected government. The Premier can’t just use the RVIPF like he could use Public Works to patch roads etc. The Governor can give the order to the commissioner but not the Premier. Plus the police isn’t a security firm so they won’t do that as a daily chore unless they received a threat everyday and have to do their actual job.
You may kill us with your hatefulnes but still like air we will rise.
That makes no sense. If we killed how we gonna rise?
You a ghost?
Stink air rises too
666666 double mark of the beast
Why can’t we see a list of all government contracts. Is there a register with all of them on it. How much they cost who gets paid and which minister agreed the contract
The lawyers must be costing lots of our money for the COI so they could list it all for us including how much they get? Bet they got a waiver.
I truly believe this Government does not understand the meaning of the word Governance. I truly believe they think once they sit and agree to waive a rule all is well and they are justified.
They just keep doing wrong. Even under the watchful eye of the COI. Can’t fix stupid
