Can the Bahamas afford another two an a half years of mismanagement, incompetence,dishonesty, cover ups and pure thievery under this present government?
They are borrowing at the rate of $1 billion plus a year, meaning that another $2.5 billion could be added to the national debt by the time they are done (completely) in 2017. That is an additional $7.150.00 owed by each ad every Bahamian man woman or child, sane or insane, cripple or able bodied. In 2017 the national debt will be above $8 billion and each Bahamian will owe close to $30, 000.00 not including his/her own personal or business liabilities. The average Bahamian has less than $1,000.00 in savings and many cannot qualify for a $1,000.00 loan.

Did this report state ho far back materials from the PMH went missing? Was all under the PLP or did some go missing under the FNM as well? How Much. When was the 'shell" company formed? Did they operate under the FNM administration? How much money did they get swing of? Tax Paying Bahamians need to know!

In the classic case of who dun it, PLP MPs Shane Gibson and Dr. B.J. Nottage are now saying that the missing inventory occurred under the FNM. This is not the issue here. The issue here is that the audit report was dated March 31st, 2014 and 191 days has passed and the Minister of Health has not seen fit to table the report in parliament. What was he waiting on? And now that we know that he did not perform his ministerial duty to report the matter, what is going to become of him?

This is irresponsibility in the highest order. And what about the prime minister's role. You mean to tell me he had no idea of the audit's findings. What else audit reports are out there that have not been reported to the public?

The Bahamian people aren't concerned when it happened. The fact of the matter is that it did happen and we need the powers that be to make the perpetrators accountable.

Agreed! It's confusing: if the PLP are right and most of it happened under the FNM then shouldn't the PLP be taking advantage of this by letting the country know that the FNM screwed up? Just give us all of the facts and then fire and/or prosecute those people responsible!! Since the PLP again are not doing anything about thievery and corruption then they are most likely involved in this scandal as well. Guilty until proven innocent!!!

am sure the AG will do a good job. I have full faith and confidence in her unbiased, professional approach.

What AG?.....Allison the wicked witch?....Please tell me where you getting your dope from cause boy you talking a hole heap of shyt way out of your head......Mussy be some really good stuff you gat!

who cares, who did it? You guys sound like you want to hold your parents responsible for your mistakes. Just prosecute whoever was involved in that, irrespective of their colors. Its very easy. Stop the lying and cheating.

This appears to be a typical PLP scheme. These bastards can't survive without stealing public funds, directly or indirectly. The FNM had some dishonest civil servants prosecuted and others (who should have been charged as well) retire with benefits. When this piece a shit called PLP was reelected in 2012, they dropped all proceedings and rehired them ALL! Even those who received generous packages. PLP the greatest mafia the Bahamas has ever known!

5.8 B USD is the tab, the old men of FNM and PLP are leaving to our next generations. In exchange our children and grandchildren get underperforming schools, potholes, a defunct BEC, overpriced food and items for daily use, pension schemes for the fat cats and a handful of nouveau rich crooks.

Now we know why Minnis, our former Minister of Health under the FNM, cannot be trusted to lead/manage our country!

We are not interested in the party, PLP or FNM (blaming party is just blowing smoke). We don't care when it happened either. We want to know WHO STOLE THE MONEY. Who holds the money in their bank account at this very moment. Investigative journalism should reveal the shareholder(s) of the shell company -- go to the company registry and check the shell company file. Very simple. Whoever incorporated the shell company is the thief! This bull ends now. The thief must be held accountable.

How it go Obie!

While some may make light of the matter, this government has its agents out there twisting the arms of property owners to take out loans to bring their property taxes up-to-date. Many people stand to lose homes and other properties to banks on mortgages because they have fallen on hard times and simply cannot afford to pay the bank, much less their taxes, at least not all at this time. And then those who make that sacrifice to pay taxes only to see their money, stolen squandered, misused or otherwise unaccounted for. How long will honest, hardworking Bahamians sit back and allow their tax money be misused in this fashion when their own net worth is dwindling doe to hard times and increasing taxes?

Then to sit and watch the critical care block sit and decay for nearly 3 years (not to mention airport in Abaco, mini hospital in Andros) is an even more disgrace and crying shame, especially when its services are so greatly needed. If you value the depreciation on that building based on a 20 year life the government has already lost near $5 million by just allowing the building to sit there idle...but carnival coming...no worries!

Other than myself, is there anyone else out there interested in knowing who these few "prominent" Bahamian families are who hold the monopoly on procurement and provision of the drugs to the PHA???
One thing the PLP have never been about is a fair and open bid process, just look at BAMSI, can't get kickbacks if you have an open and level playing field.
