BPL Overtime Scandal Rocks Bahamas | Bahamas News
Description
Prime Minister Philip Davis is taking decisive action over shocking overtime abuses at Bahamas Power and Light, where three employees racked up over $600,000 in overtime—some earning more than $200,000 alone—with monthly payouts exceeding $20,000. Davis condemned the system as unfair and unsafe, blaming it on ratepayer money and damaging public trust. He defended Energy Minister JoBeth Coleby-Davis while taking full responsibility, refusing to confirm if management will face consequences. Two BPL workers have been suspended for alleged misconduct, though links to the overtime scandal remain unclear. Both major unions are now on strike, demanding accountability as Davis insists systemic reforms are underway.
