Lightbourn asks DPM if 'Toggie' and 'Bobo' have govt contracts

Montagu MP Richard Lightbourn has again called on Deputy Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis to answer whether two "gang members" -- Livingston "Toggie" Bullard and Wisler "Bobo" Davilma -- at the center of a murder for hire plot, have or had government contracts.
Lightbourn submitted nearly two dozen questions in the House of Assembly during its Wednesday sitting.
"Will the minister of works confirm that Livingston "Toggie" Bullard and Wisler "Bobo" Davilma, or either of them, were given contracts by the Ministry of Works, or any department thereof, between the years 2012 and 2016?
"Will the minister advise the dates of the contracts and provide full details thereof?"
During the mid-year budget debate last year, Lightbourn said he had information that at least one of the men also has Crown land and detailed the government contracts that Bullard and Davilma already have.
He said sources in the ministry told him that the men had monthly cleaning contracts of $10,000 with the Ministry of Works.
Prime Minister Perry Christie, who has responsibility for Crown land, said one of the parents of either Bullard or Davilma was granted Crown land or a lease, but he could not say if either man had been granted land.
However, the prime minister said if either of the men had been granted Crown land it would have been before his time.
Christie said he would try to get the particulars on the case and report it to the House of Assembly.
But a year later he has not made any such report.
The names Toggie and Bobo became household names after Louis Bacon, the wealthy Lyford Cay neighbor of fashion mogul Peter Nygard, and several other members of Save The Bays (STB) alleged that Nygard paid Bullard and Davilma to carry out the murder plot.
The affidavit and accompanying records between Nygard, Bullard and Davilma, are part of court filings in relation to the matter.
The controversy surrounding the men dominated the mid-year budget debate last year.
Christie asked the police to conduct an investigation into the matter. Authorities arrested the men, but later released them.
In January, much to the dismay of STB members, the commissioner of police said the probe is "not going anywhere", noting that no one had filed a complaint against the two men allegedly at the center of the matter.
