WELCOME TO THE BAHAMAMS !

歡迎您巴哈馬 ！

The Chinese have taken a page from the US's play book when it comes to protecting their own economic and security interests. The Chinese know full well that all they need do is keep the "borrowing tit" on the insatiable sucking lips of the Bahamian Government and their cronies until the national debt of the Bahamas reaches the point of no return at which point the very soul of the Bahamas will have been sold to the devil!

what the chinese bought already is our vote in the united nations ,and if we continue our prolific baby making and using the civil service to absorb it we will have to continue to borrow and tax ,,,

You ask for it so now pay ths price. Its only going to get worse.

Too bad Baha Mar, we don't have any more money to give you - we spent it all subsidizing the import of duty free baby food and diapers and providing doctors and supplies in unlimited amounts at PMH for the delivery room (old folks need dey pressure pills? too bad for them too).

If we don't have the money, the Chinese will gladly lend us more. Slavery een gone, just the massa changes.

While the government may not have a right to 'tamper with infrastructure costs', of the road works as the party being required to pay on behalf of the Bahamian people, it has a right to examine the works and the costs associated with them. Where does Bah Mar get that attitude that, 'once we bill you, you must pay up and shut up." Firstly why does the government have to foot any of this bill in any event? If not for the bah mar project, would the road works be necessary? In Florida for example when large projects like this happen, the owners of the project are, in most cases do all the necessary infrastructure associated with their project. Several Walmarts that opened in recent years had to pay for all the road improvements and infrastructure required for them to open their stores. In this instance the government agreed to pay a portion. They have a right to ensure that they are being billed fairly and that the Bahamian people are not being hoodwinked. No one will deny that the road works and of top quality, very well laid out and finished. But there are two concerns: 1. The number of round-a-bouts for persons who have to drive that way every day it is a dizzying drive. Sometimes you feel like you spend more time going around these round-a-bouts than you spend driving on the straight road. And, there are always accidents during peak traffic periods, because persons do not know how to use these round-abouts properly. Imagine what will happen when the project opens and they volume of traffic may double in some periods. Secondly, paedestrain crossings are placed just where cars exit the round-a-bouts So either motorists do not see persons waiting to cross in time to stop, or when they do stop, they are rammed or nearly missed by cars still in the round-a-bout who are not anticipating the sudden stop. This needs to be corrected because when both the paedestrain and motor traffic increases in the area, there will be more accidents and persons getting hit by vehicles when trying to cross.

Ummm, why do we have to pay what they bill us --- because the idiotic Heads of Agreement says so. PGC doesn't realise that anchor projects are an anchors around the necks of Bahamians.

They have to approach this matter cautiously, they should have calculated the cost and cleared the matter to the government before launching this project. However, construction works could be expensive but there are companies like <a href="http://palmerwest.net">http://palmerwest.net</a> which offers efficient but affordable service.

If the government is tampering with the cost then it might create a negative impact. However, now plenty of construction companies are mushrooming everywhere, but before approaching any new contractor make sure that he has <a href="http://clsi.com">Alabama state contractors license</a>.

If the infrastructure cost is too high then they should consider making changes to the plan to cut down unnecessary costs. However, they should also take help of a commercial dredging services provider like <a href="http://americanunderwaterservices.com/">http://americanunderwaterservices.com/</a>.

The government should never interfere in such matters, if they cut down the amount of money then it might affect the construction process. These days many construction companies are mushrooming but it would be better to approach a reputed company like <a href="http://roblconstruction.com">http://roblconstruction.com</a> for construction work.

The government probably has some reason to interfere in the construction matters but it should not take any step that would hamper the progress of the project. Since this is a huge construction project, the construction companies involved in the work should use the right safety supplies which they can find at <a href="http://coloradosafetysupply.com">http://coloradosafetysupply.com</a>.
