Tabor describes Browne Administration’s flip-flop on second auction of Alfa Nero as embarrassing

Back-tracking and flip-flopping appear to be the mode of operation
for the Gaston Browne Administration, as it has made an about-face
– in one week’s time – on a second auction of the Alfa Nero.
 
Last week, it was announced that the vessel would be placed back
on the auction block, since the highest bidder, former Google CEO
Eric Schmidt, had withdrawn his offer of US$67.6 million because of
court challenges in which the vessel is tied up.
 
Now, this week, during the post-Cabinet press briefing, Information
Minister Melford Nicholas refuted claims by government
spokesperson Lionel “Max” Hurst that the super yacht will be placed
on the auction block again.

Reportedly, the second highest bidder, United States real estate
mogul Warren Halle, will be pursued by the Browne Administration
in an effort to persuade him to purchase the vessel.
 
Damani Tabor, public relations officer for the United Progressive
Party, sees this back-pedalling as a total embarrassment on the part
of the Government.

And he suspects that there are separate factions within the
Administration who favour different approaches to the sale of the
vessel.
 
Under the Browne Administration, Tabor charges, nothing seems to
be running right, and there is a great deal of confusion and many
broken promises.  

That was Damani Tabor, UPP public relations officer.
