Peter, Desmond and FNM's across the country - we are exhausted with the PLP rhetoric you guys are continuously going to for a scapegoat.

Newsflash. You guys are only 4 months out of your 1 year mark. We do not wish to hear anything else about the previous administration.

Can you tell us - what is the dollar value of contracts given out by this administration since May?
A little birdie reckons one of the FNM slush contracts is that $3million dollar wall being built on Blue Hill road near The National Insurance Board.

More to The Pointe, pun intended, name the contracts put out to tender since coming to office, their dollar value and to whom they were awarded.

Typical plp never want to hear the truth. if you dont fix the crap in the system they are bound to be repeated. Your boys really fooked this country over. It's going tp take many years to fix the shit y'all left

This is what drove the Bahamas economy into an economic tailspin. Too much money was not being accounted for. Money was being spent faster than it was coming in and government was hardly getting value for money on most of its expenditures. And that was only a small part of corruption that helped to bring the PLP down. In the main time Ben Carson, the heart surgeon who ran for US president is under investigation. Carson is Secretary of Housing and officials want to know how he was allowed to purchase a dining set valued at $31.500 for his apartment as secretary, when the total furniture allowance for the apartment is $5,000. Carson was estimated to worth $29 million before running for president.

because the better things in life are free.

You can mandate all you want, until the powers that be enforce the penalties for not adhering to the mandates nothing will change. Still waiting to hear of a single MP being punished for not doing their disclosure. The fact of the matter is we all know that when the PLP was in power there were plenty fake contracts and over priced contract given to cronies. We all also know that this will continue with the FNM. All we hope for is that it is at a lesser rate then it became, as there is little hope of us Bahamians holding the political class to account before a collapse happens. After it happens is another matter.

.....WHERE WAS HER MAJESTYS LOYAL OPPOSITION????????
In all fairness with the election over .....all that has changed is the Minister of the losing party is not there,, at the Ministry
......so why arent the remaining staff be held accountable ???
Someting is wrong that after 50 plus years of governance whichever MP was in charge is held accountable as though they are the simgle person in the Ministry!!?....does the Govt of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas not have checks and balances procedures...?????
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT FOR THE MINISTER TO POINT THIS DEFECT OUT.
200 MILLION IS A LOT OF VAT, BUSINESS LICENCE FEES, CUSTOMS DUTIES BAHAMIAN PEOPLES SWEAT AND HARDSHIP.....NOW WHAT......THE 200 MILLION EVIDENCE IS THERE......???

I'm shocked!!

Banister who detest persons who exercise their god giving right to speak to the media
acts as if this privilege is his and his alone. Do nothing at all just blame the PLP.
Banister even the peoples time voters will grow weary of you.

Oh yes Birdie hide everything. Come to Palmetto Point and the huge mountain of curry excavated at great cost to provide a level surface for the " hospital". Not only that but it was purchased from a prominant ex PLP minister when clear title is now under debate. Of course no hospital., no tenders, mind you lots of ground breakings at the taxpayers expense. Remember the old adage " to forget history is to repeat history".

Making new rules or even laws won't change the fact that both parties have in the past ignored or subverted the rules and laws. The jury of popular opinion will one day rule on this group also.
If there is no accountability, there is no rule or law that will be adhered to by any of them, due to either expediency or corrupt favoritism.

.......having made the statement the good Minister did not make public the names and amounts be known..... otherwise as you comment Delphi you are entirely true...
One would also expect no rebuttal from the opposition.....in essence a nomenklatura.....

Ma Comrades, would've thoughts with so much "winning" for It's the People's time governance - Imperial Crown Ministers wouldn't have so much time focus on the previous administration's ways awarding contracts - Likes its new news voters... Same as Oban's past troubles contained public records should NOT have sprungs as new news on Imperial red government?
