"Bring Back The Prado"
posted (January 13, 2020)
"Bring back the Prado". That's what The Christian Workers Union is telling Social Security Board CEO Dr Colin Young tonight. As we reported a few nights ago, Young bought the 7 year old Prado when he left office in December of last year.

The Chairman of the Board also said it had a zero value on the Board's books.

The Union noted the current policy regarding disposing of SSB assets via public auction or tender.

They also pointed out that the Prado only recently was outfitted with a new windshield and new tyres, a fact they say challenges zero value statement.

Additionally, they put forward several questions:

How ethical was this Prado deal?, How does this Prado deal not cloud the "accountable and transparent image" SSB had sought mightily to project in recent years? , and finally Does this not set an unethical and unsustainable precedent for use of "the people's money"?
