Former Manager Fired for Conflict of Interest | Bahamas News
Description
A former Water & Sewerage Corp. manager, Trevor Roberts, sought nearly a million dollars after being fired—but a judge rejected his claim, calling his actions “damning.” An internal audit exposed a massive conflict of interest: Roberts secretly owned companies he oversaw, which shared his home address and received over $900K in contracts without disclosure. The judge ruled his behavior—profiting personally while in a position of trust—justified immediate termination. Roberts argued he wasn’t given a fair chance to respond and suffered personal hardship, but the corporation maintained he was lawfully dismissed. The lead investigator also revealed pressure from executives to rush the probe and concerns about board interference. Ultimately, the court found Roberts dishonest and his misconduct warranted dismissal, despite his claims of being blindsided.
