HEHEHE 113 Million but no work done nd a few IDIOTS are happy of such great investment

Some idiots don't understand the difference between waste and fraud.  They are arguing that there was fraud when they mean waste.  Skeldon was waste; Prodoville was fraud. 

You are splitting hairs and to what end? There is a different legally as to will conversion of resources ( among other things ie lying or misinforming as to what happened) to ones end and slothfulness with resources.

However, if the waste is to structure graft opportunities( which seems to be the case here) then it theft. It may not result in criminal indictment but it is theft just the same no less than Jagdeo's white elephant at Skeldon. It is typifies corrupt regimes.

Pradoville may represent conversion of physical property to the benefit of a select few but that is exactly what happened here. Some select individuals are benefiting from the expense of the state while they warm benches. 

You are of a habit to cling barnacle like to technical definitions and insist what is stated ( and often clearly so) is not the case because it did not precisely fit the definition. However, a dog is a dog however differently dogs may wag their tails or whether we call them terriers of hounds.  Intentionally pocketing monies is  theft no lest than theft by subterfuge as via a non functioning commission.

Waste and fraud are not the same. Skeldon was arguably seen as good strategy for the sugar industry but it went wrong.  Pradoville was clearly fraud.  The Law Reform Commission is a good idea and is neither a"white elephant" nor fraud.  It takes time to get bodies like a Law Reform Commission off the ground. I know the chairman of the law reform commission of a Commonwealth country and I know what the commission has done and continues to do.  The very nature of what they do means that it will take time. 

If Greed and sloth are are deadly sins per catholic dogma. As I said, there is a legal difference but the immorality of it accrues to the same degree of corrupt practice of a government.

Dude, granger give away hundreds of acres of lands  ty to a couple of cronies in his clique that in time will out rank pradoville in value. Even now they are valued at more than a thousand per acre and they exceed 300 acres. Worse, these lands were taken over by the crown from local owners to adequately manage the sea defense. It is not state property and should have been returned to the owners if the government decided to relinquish the task of sea defense. instead they give it to local crooks who possibly never visited the area. You are splitting hairs to cast obscene corruption by these folks as different in kind but they are irruption nevertheless.
