Gulf Air Developments

[MikeAlpha7]

I am still at loss to explain how would two cabinet ministers, who are supposed to be part of the executive branch of government, professional, highly qualified, intelligent, experienced and responsible executives , ask for BD 660 million for an ailing airline without ANY plans on how this money is going to be spent and how would it transform the airline and return it to profitability or break even , at least.

This is a scandalous act even at the level of Bahrain Governance!!! Any such request in a civilized society and democratically run country will mean the end of the Minister's political career. A dignified Cabinet Minister will not dare to come up with such outrageous request without due diligence , meticulous and detailed study. This is simply astonishing.

In Gulf Air itself , a Manager who requests a small amount for expenditure , I believe in the excess of BD 150 , must justify it by submitting official document for approval by his superiors and through several layers. However , a staggering BD 660 Million does not seem to warrant a study be the government suffice to say it would be bad for the economy if the money was not given !!!!!!
