Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the loopiest of them all?

Ebrahim Asvat, political analyst  and columnist was quick to react to the new rules at Tocumen International where  bidding for commercial concessions  has been replaced by “initiative and creativity without tendering.

Humor often works better than vinegar.  On  facebook Asvat wrote:

Mirror:Listen you were chosen because you are not Arnulfista and not close to Varela.

 Pine Pot: I am here by the decision of His Excellency.

 Mirror: And why  did you change the rules for competition in Tocumen SA

 Pine Pot: To further the interests of the generation of change. Remember, as mentioned by His Excellency, this is a government of businessmen and I come from the private sector.

 Mirror: So you gave all kinds of locals to businesses without bidding and without complying with the principles of fairness, transparency and free competition?

  Pine Pot: Tocumen SA is a corporation and not an autonomous institution.

 Mirror: Isn’t the State, that is all Panamanians,  the owner of Tocumen SA?

 Pine Pot: But we have a special regime.

 Mirror: A system that allows  you to give commercial concessions to whom you want   to invite without tender and invitation? Without advertising the event?

 Pine Pot: Tocumen SA  respects initiative and creativity.

 Mirror: So you decide who has creativity and initiative?

 Pine Pot: It's that if someone proposes a business  it  is not fair to open a tender for another to take it away.

 Mirror: Sure, like a pizza business, right?

 Pine Pot: It's that if someone proposes a business  it  is not fair to open a tender for another to take it away.

 Mirror: Like the bars that are in the terminals and the very center of the airport?

Pine Pot:It's that if someone proposes a business  it  is not fair to open a tender for another to take it away.

  Mirror: Like  the hot dog business?  From whom m did they take it?

 Pine Pot: It's that if someone proposes a business is not fair to open a tender for another to take it away

Mirror:Like the little businesses of selling  cell phones?

 Pine Pot: It's that if someone proposes a business  it  is not fair to open a tender for another to take it away.

 Mirror: Like the business of the slot machines?

 Pine Pot. Is that if someone proposes …..

Mirror:You  — stop, stop repeating like a parrot. Where is the initiative and creativity to install, pizza,and cellular businesses ans hot dogs stands and bars in the airport?

 Pine Pot: Well look, I'm just the manager here and follow instructions. You know whose, and I have to do what I say. This is like a private company. There are shareholders every five years but there is one who exercises power and I …. 

 Mirror: Like the "airport chairs"?

 Mirror: Why don’t you resign?

 Pine Pot: I’m going to the pub and I won’t be back
