...waiting with baited breath...let's see just how catastrophic this move is. Gotta go into VAT because they paid a small fortune to CWC to swing a deal...they should be focusing on selling off the other utilities...not rebuying them!!

How many more years of this?

too many already...

dying to get their elbows in that B.T.C cookie jar!

PC is so confused that he really needs to retire. He "orders" the web shops to close but "the issue is complex". No kidding. He is not responsible for enforcing the laws but he will put a policeman in every corner. I expect something similar with BTC,we got the 2% back,but.....

*As I said previously, we had a process where I negotiated directly and I appointed a group led by Franklin Wilson, where they negotiated with someone who had the delegated responsibility to speak on behalf of Cable and Wireless. “Together we arrived at a final position. That final position was put to the Cabinet of the Bahamas but on the day that I deferred the announcement, that was the day of the last Cabinet meeting, when I had intended to present to my Cabinet the actual cross the t’s dot the i’s - the full position and that has to be done. So the arrangements will be made next Tuesday. There will be a meeting with the chairman; there will then be a meeting with me and thereafter we will make the announcements.*

What? Can we get an interpreter? I'm surprised he doesn't confuse himself when he speaks given the number of circles he runs.

What an utter mess the 41% has gotten us into....

That was the seem thing i wondered he must be lying because the last cabinet meeting was suppose to discuss the deal that they will fianlize next week. man you cant write this stuff

I hope that we learn about it quicker than his promise to the house of Assembly last December to outline his relationship with Peter Nygard. Still waiting on that one. When it comes time to explain the deal, I'm willing to bet that he will pull the "I'm too tired" line.

Even a five year old child could answer - yes or no - do we have a majority back? Why can't he? It's too complicated for all you dumb Bahamians to understand. Maybe you can't understand the "s" in yes or the "o" in the word no.

Just look at his ears in the above photo. Nothing more needs to be said!

Pinochio ears huh ?

Look more like some jack-ass ears ta me.

@rory. Ahh Lord....don't be too hard on da Bahamian dummies.
Dey ain know dey dumb.

PM time for you and your cabinet colleagues get "glued. No more referendums. No more but one authorized spokesperson for the government. No more criminal numbers rackets talk. Pay no attention to Minnis and Loretta cause in time Hubert will deal with them and it go'in get pretty damn ugly over at the reds party headquarters. I was and still remain happy with PM Christie's regaining the instruments of Bahamaland's government. I think I had reached the stage, anyone but Hubert. PM is only human and mistakes have been made, What PM must do from today forward is to get "glued" to only three polices, paychecks creation, economy stimulation and returning our Bahamaland to peace.. PM, if you and your cabinet colleagues get "glued" on these three polices all else, including solving crime, immigration, increased taxes for public treasury and dealing with sustainable inflation will automatically fall into place. PM trust me on getting you "glued."

"three polices, paychecks creation, economy stimulation and returning our Bahamaland to peace.."
Tal, those are the three things the Government has gotten involved in, which has us in the disaster we are in now!
Government has no capability to Fix any one of them, and their erratic policies and flip flopping prevents Private sector confidence, which alone can stimulate the economy.
Perry and Co announce restricting bail conditions, and Barnett promptly counters with a no interference in the Judiciary statement!
And what is the "Glue" for? to further clog up their brains?

Comrade The_Oracle I'll mark you down as not being supportive of my advice to the PM. It's amazing when you're only "glued" to my three recommendations how quickly a government can start to become a vital partner to finding workable solutions with the business community and citizens. It's not that you ignore all the other things a government is still responsible for but they have to fit into the glue mixture of the three main priorities to stick around for funding. Government is never involved in ANYTHING that is not costly to taxpayers. If I'm wrong tell me one thing any government has ever done for FREE?

I used to believe BTC should not be sold; but if sold, it ought to be 49% government 49% investor and 2% to the employees of BTC. However, now that it is what it is; instead of government buying back the controlling shares - leave it as is, and let the market be opened to at least half dozen more competitors. Hopefully most of them local, including allocating - say an island or two to each competitor with access to New providence too - tying all into an overall communication system for the country. We have been governed by lawyer politicians for a hundred years; lawyer politicians cannot think out of the box! We need to get rid of most of them from politics and elect engineers, businessmen, farmers etc.
