EDITOR, The Tribune.

Well we have some would say endured a week plus of House of Assembly pontificating but at least we did learn a little as to what the Minnis Government has been working on since May 2017.

Interesting how Capital expending is told…politicians seem to have realised saying $5million does not resonate so they say $25 million and then quietly add over the next five-years.

$5m towards soft small business loans is a start I presume but based on the past 10-15 years of experience with The Development Bank a total waste of energy or perception Government will ever see the other side of that money once loaned.

Did you notice the high number of clichés used in Ministers’ speeches for some it was obvious they hadn’t a clue what they were reading but they crowed like honey.

Our saving grace will be the performance finally of Baha Mar - it took 15-16 years coming but it will add to the GDP and our foreign currency earnings and employment…Credit has to go to Sarkis’ conception - the Christie Government and EXIM without who Baha Mar would not exist (Don Robinson) thanks a million, the forgotten hero in the story).
