The doom and gloom people will not like this announcement at all. They will have
to find something else to beat up their mouth over. What does the man who owns the wash
houses and can not find a Bahamian qualified enough to manage them have to say.?

birdie, doom and gloom is still here, no matter how PGC spins it. This announcement comes just as Moody's downgrades the Bahamas yet again. So, pull off your delusional PLP rose coloured classes and see what's really happening here instead of being just one more sheep being led to slaughter.

You are a waste of the air we breathe. If you were to disappear today, I'm sure your own family would thank the lord. You are the reason that this country cannot have nice things, because you are too stupid to reason and to dumb to know the difference.

And the announcement of a snap election by Christie is just around the corner. Anyone wanna buy my 3.4 acres of swamp land in Coral Harbour?

I'll believe it when I see it.

I can only hope we haven't sold out yet again to the Chinese with their carpet bags. I am sensing yet another "nation for sale" deal coming up with ties to organized crime.

So when will they address the travelers already promised airfare, stays and comps from the last opening delay?

Now you can not longer blame me, blame all of us.

Well, if the truth be told Baha Mar was mess up under the PM dem its no more than fair that he bring it back up to speed and fix he own mess. It wasn't like this was something that just came into being and he is getting credit for it... but like Dilly Tree say. I'll believe it when i see it!

Who's going to finish the construction? Same goons?

Correct! They know into which pipes they poured the cement and they know which water pipes they didn't glue together (all of them apparently) and they know all of the spots where they were breeding rats for food. Once these issues are resolved they will be more than 5% on their way to completion.

Like I said before .Any dealings with the Chinese is like playing Russian Roulette . Someone's gonna get hurt. And it sure isn't the Chinese!

Where's Franklin. I want to make sure he gets paid because there will be no politician hiding behind it when he tells me that nothing has changed and that in a month's time he will still be getting the run around.

Also, are they really making a big announcement that the company who stopped working on the project a year and a half ago has finally decided to pay and finish the job they were paid for? What a dog and pony show! Who actually sits and listens to these thieves?

I do like how under the "retro pay" portion of the the PM's statement, while trying to make it a positive point of Bahamian Contractors being brought back in (why would any of them, I'd never trust this situation again) but is quick to suggest a "Substancial amount of monies owes" would be offered back. Hm, wasn't this the same man who has on several occasions GTD that any deal that would be done, would have to include dollar for dollar and made whole?

Nothing has changed. Not one word stating the real truth. Will the contractors be paid 100 %? What else did he give the chineses, I don't know if the Bahamas has anything left for the people. The problem still exists that no one is going to buy this place, the ratio of debt is to high to make a,profit , if even pay the mortatage. Don't forget , he said they would pay some of the electric bill, not all of it. How nice is that , when I have to pay all of mine. Just more talk to cover things up.

PGC has to prove himself because for the past year he have been giving hope and painting a lavish picture that things will be good soon. Until there is some movement and actions SEEN with the bare eyes there is nothing happening. As from my experience of Baha Mar and observation we will need more than a year for infrastructure to be put in place and also to re-ignite the enthusiasm that once was.

Speaking of the re-mobilization of the construction the next chapter is the buyer of which PGC said is done, then the next step is to get qualified persons to work in the huge entity, also to get training then of course occupancy to maintain those employed.

Another question arises will this great project continue to carry the name " Baha Mar " without Sarkis Izmirillian being involved? Wasn't it he responsible for that name through a business license? There are a lot of unanswered questions as this country is in great need of repair.....Only through faith can this mountain be removed.

I sure hope that BPL gets those rental generators real soon. If this thing really opens with our existing electricity structure, what a fiasco that will be. If the Chinese know what is good for them they will ensure that this monstrosity has it's own power plant.

A little nuclear plant would suffice. I suggest putting it on that lot next to Christie's house. The radiation can't do him anymore harm than he's done to The Bahamas.

Is the supposed Chinese conglomerate that is going to purchase Baha Mar the same conglomerate that will soon be opening a Chinese bank? If so, I wonder if that was part of the negotiations?

the CCP is very pleased. Xi Jingping shall commence the slow clap for the people's Hotel

So Sarkis loses 1B+Dollars??? He gets nothing for his money, his efforts and his vision that developed the whole project? This can't be right. What am I missing?

One must wonder if Sarkis is the secret buyer

Sarkis shamed the Chinese publicly. This is the worst thing you can do to a Chinese person or entity. There is no equivalent in our Occidental thinking so it's hard to explain.
It is a near certainty, that they will never work with him.

**Truer words have never been penned!..... Lol**

**.......Translation: Chinese & Christie New Agreement To Deep Shaft Bahamians Again......**

PM Christie sold the country out to the Chinese in last ditch attempt save his own ass!

This too will fail.

These frantic announcements and ill thought out decisions have been characteristic of this Bahamar situation since the government got involved. There are likely many *we were blindsided* admissions, teachable moments and apologies to the Bahamian people in our future. We need a just leader, I don't see one yet, we have Sears and Island Luck on the left and Christie and the Chinese on the right, (FNM is a disaster and i don't know if Bran serious) I'll be praying, hopefully it's not too late to be rescued from the bondage

YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GET UP OFF YOUR COLLECTIVE BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING TO HELP YOUR SELF, WHILE YOU ARE AT IT COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS,
THIS IS NOT ABOUT PERRY CHRISTIE, THIS IS ABOUT YOU, YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR FUTURE.... POLITICIANS CANNOT DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU... YO MUST HELP YOUR SELF..... YOU ALL HATE THE CHINESE ... WHY.. THEY ARE NOT YOUR PROBLEM... YOU NEED TO STOP FINDING FAULTS AND MOVE..YOU ALL ARE MUCH TOO DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT..
