it is so surprising just how dunce and illeterate Antoguans are and for the persons talking about container at Sea View Farm why don't y'all go to sea view farm with the police and collect containers. Antiguans are the duncest set of people i hace ever come across in my life. CMC was going to the dos you ungrateful ** should thank MR.HILL and the Accountant for stepping in. But what can i say it was said y'all are not a reading public and y'all prove just how dunce y'all are more and more every day

I'm reading all of the comments, and I have to laugh at the dunce, illiterate employees of CMC. Thanks to Dalma Hill and the accountant, numerous suppliers, and farmers were able to be paid.
In late 2009 the government gave CMC $1.6 million dollars, yet when Mr Hill joined CMC in 2010, there was an over $1 million dollars over draft, and the Corporation had debts of about $5.5 million dollars.
Dalma Hill is being chastised for two old containers that had rotting roofs and rotting bottoms, but the over $20,000 that is owed to the man is not being addressed by the Corporation. This money was loaned to CMC, but still has not been paid back. When the Chemical Depot needed chemicals, the very same Dalma Hill loaned them over $25,000. Where were the high and mighty board members. Why didn't they step in to loan CMC the money. When CMC was paying ADC workers, paying Willy D for work done on the prison and giving money to government ministers money to go Santo Domingo to fete, where were the said board members. Yet they are the same ones pointing their fingers now.

What I don't understand is his claim that the containers were useless and destned for disposal, is his residence considered a disposal site or scrap metal yard?

Morris, the whole thing would have been surprising if it has not now become the norm. He sees himself as owed so feels he can break with procedure and then wonders why accusations result because of his actions. If line staff were to be found doing such, they would have police officers at their doors

This guy is showing how proud he is to be wrong and strong (powerful). Wow! Who is looking out for and defending the poor?

**SHIRWIN** » 2013-02-18 19:42

The question now is, WHAT IS THE BOARD DOING OR GOING TO DO? Who is the Minister responsible for C.M.C.? This will not be allowed to be swepted under the carpet so those who believe it will be will have another thing coming.

**The Revelator** » 2013-02-18 13:21

What about the container at x B's home at Sea View Farm??????

What about the the person who was hired as a Human Resources consultant and was subsequently made Human Resources Officer?

Is it true that a person who commenced emploment at C M C since 2011, has to date failed to furnish the Board with its request for proof of this person's educational background?

Is it true that the individual who worked as a xxx xxxx Consultant to C M C for approximately one (1) year before been appointed to the position of xxx xxx xxx at C M C, was afforded 14 days vacation leave for the period worked as a Consultant and to date have not produced any report to the Board, with regards to that person's tenure as a xxx xxxx Consultant to C M C, being paid $65.00 per hour?

More to come

3 “Appropriates”.

(1)Any assumption by a person of the rights of an owner amounts to an appropriation, and this includes, where he has come by the property (innocently or not) without stealing it, any later assumption of a right to it by keeping or dealing with it as owner.

(2)Where property or a right or interest in property is or purports to be transferred for value to a person acting in good faith, no later assumption by him of rights which he believed himself to be acquiring shall, by reason of any defect in the transferor’s title, amount to theft of the property.

**Lord Have Mercy** » 2013-02-18 12:22

2 “Dishonestly”

(1)A person’s appropriation of property belonging to another is not to be regarded as dishonest—

(a)if he appropriates the property in the belief that he has in law the right to deprive the other of it, on behalf of himself or of a third person; or

(b)if he appropriates the property in the belief that he would have the other’s consent if the other knew of the appropriation and the circumstances of it; or

(c)(except where the property came to him as trustee or personal representative) if he appropriates the property in the belief that the person to whom the property belongs cannot be discovered by taking reasonable steps.

(2)A person’s appropriation of property belonging to another may be dishonest notwithstanding that he is willing to pay for the property.

**Lord Have Mercy** » 2013-02-18 12:21

Be the judge and tell me if a person actions fits into the basic definition of “theft”

1 Basic definition of theft.

(1) A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it; and “thief” and “steal” shall be construed accordingly.

(2) It is immaterial whether the appropriation is made with a view to gain, or is made for the thief’s own benefit.

Take note of the people who do these stupid things. They choose to put authority above character. When a person is given authority, the decisions they make must take the law into consideration. They must remember that the law takes priority over authority. THE BOSS IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT!

**Liberated Employee** » 2013-02-18 10:01

He has taken up his new position( apua),no word to us the employees,antig ua really is returning to Slavery,the management of Apua are so arrogant,and the majority of workers are slavish and dont know their rights.Its sad.

**Cool Ruler** » 2013-02-18 09:20

Its a pity they wernt investigated after the ALP lost power, especially free trade zone.

Hills response is typical of the high and mighty who has been xxxxng the people of Antigua and Barbuda for the last 50 years or more. This matter should have been reported to the police and the containers should have been opened to verify the contents. (Too late now). This behavior is “DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT CRIME WAVE”. How on earth do you expect poor, hungry and unemployed people to sit and watch these x eat all the food and don’t get non? This is an example of xx waste and allegedly abuse of tax payers property. No one should ever take anything that they did not purchase. Those containers have value and I will bet he is lying as to their condition. This is unethical. SO THIS IS THE KIND OF PEOPLE OUR GOVERN WANT TO CONTINUE THE KAOS AT APUA? That new position should be put on hold until the matter is resolved. Like I said only poor defenseless people get locked up and jailed in Antigua. Imagine, he want us to thank him for xxxx our stuff. All involved should be charged.

Please remind defendants that a PLM leader went to prison for steel frame mistakes. Browne Commission certain in 2014.

**Jimmy** » 2013-02-18 08:08

Yes! When you see three Government Ministers have trucks at Garbage Disposal and get their money on time every week, while other truck owners have to wait for months to be paid - then it's "Open Sesame"!

For things to change, the entire Government must go!

**Reality Check** » 2013-02-18 08:08

Poor us what kind of people are leading this country

**The Fly** » 2013-02-18 08:05

We do need to investigate all the Statutory Corporations after the UPP leaves office within the next twelve months. It seems that the whole Government System fall down. Since everybody at the top doing well, why shouldn't the smaller man make an extra dollar too?

I hope the employees at C.M.C. is reading. Some other things are there to come about those holier than thou managment members. The Lord is good.
