The Government remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the responsible management of public funds.
The Savvy Entertainment matter is a serious issue, and it should be recalled that the initial complaint to the Police was made by the government. It is a matter of public record that considerable efforts have been made by the various responsible law enforcement agencies to recover these funds and to ensure that Mr. Blakely is held to account for what has occurred
As this matter remains under active police investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment on specific details at this time.
The Opposition has chaired the Public Accounts Committee, a powerful tool to hold the government of the day accountable, since 2017 and it has been virtually defunct for most of that time. While the Opposition have finally decided to use the power of the PAC, one must question whether they are motivated by accountability or just chasing headlines.
Despite the Opposition highlighting this issue in a political context, our focus remains on the broader responsibility of governing, ensuring financial stewardship, strengthening oversight, and working in the best interests of all Bermudians.
