What was the timing for this contract? around when was these contracts awarded. That's the issue here Brave. Cut the bullshit.

This pudgy man with his little stubby grubby dirty yellow sticky fingers epitomizes what corruption is all about. He is about as insincere and disingenuous as they come; in fact he is a lying imbecile. He knows full well our country does not have unlimited resources and therefore cannot create a Nassau on each and every one of our islands, especially now that we are learning the full extent to which this man and his cronies raped, pillaged and plundered our scarce resources under the last government. Davis is one whose activities and corrupt dealings as a government minister should be thoroughly investigated......he truly belongs behind bars decked out in standard prison attire with his very own slop bucket.

We already have Primary Health care which are the existing clinics. Why not centralize facilities in Nassau and purchase and operate a small number of medivac planes on some islands. It is a fact that none of these so called mini hospitals will be able do anything of substance and will still send people to Nassau. Its this refusal to accept reality and put on a show that is the downfall of this country.

So right! Outfitting a Bahamasair plane or two with medivac capabilities as well as purchasing 1 or 2 dedicated medivac planes or helicopters would be A LOT cheaper than building/maintaining/staffing hospitals on several family islands.

I bet you that for the next 4 years the headlines will all read "Davis Defends" -- this if he is not in Fox Hill during the interval.

Isn't that an indictment of mainstream media in The Bahamas?

What a total dickhead. I want a top of the line Escalade but I can't afford it so guess what I don't buy it. On Eleuthera huge amounts of money are being spent just preparing the land for construction of a so called mini hospital. Land purchased from a former PLP cabinet member. Why not modernize, repair, and update the existing clinic because at the end of the day if you can't staff other island clinics and areas of PMH how the hell will you staff let alone afford to operate a mini hospital. Surely the country cannot afford this 30 million project and would be better spent centralizing facilities in Nassau and making emergency transportation to Nassau more affordable.

“The 80 people in Rum Cay, 72 in Ragged Island or the 700 in Berry Islands all have the same rights as those in New Providence. They are all citizens. None has priority over the other,” Mr Davis said.

SOOOOOOO WHAT HAPPENED TO ABACO AFTER THE PLP GOT IN IN 2012 YOU LYING FUCK. perry christie and the plp sabotaged the Abaco clinic for 5 YEARS! Then just before election perry 'sissy' christie has the audacity to fly down, and hug up on people and claim the clinic is opening to try and get plp votes. CARRY YA ASS

they build the abaco clinic on some sink holes and had to remediate the parking lot.

After they changed the contractor in 2012 after the PLP got into power to a shitty PLP contractor who probably got paid a buttload of money because he was buddies with Perry, Brave, or Shane and then after there was a problem. They abandoned it. 5YEARS! Give me a fucking break!

OMG I'm nominating you as chairman of the national development council. (Where do we find these font of wisdom in these isles of June?) LOL

When Davis says " every Bahamian, no matter which island they live on, has the right to have access to basic health care and essential services"

Translation: Davis means that every Bahamian can be used in a plot to steal from the treasury.

They did a damn good job at that

As usual, Davis is doing a good job of trying to muddy the water. The issue is not whether those folks are any less bahamian, the issue is does it really require $14m to provide what will be no more than places to get your temperature checked and blood pressure... with that cavalier attitude to expenditure, any wonder why they ran up billions more in national debt? As an aside, isn't it interesting that after 5 years when you could not get an explanation for anything from Davis & Co. suddenly he has an answer for everything...

LOL! His answers are bullshit but at least he's answering now.

Can Desmond Bannister and KPT go on a fact-finding mission with the QS at Public Works and verify these "contracts" on these islands???? ....... Why would a primary school be built on San Salvador for $7 million?????? .......... These prices for government contracts are outrageous!!!!!!
