Watch the complaint in another few months on how the government isn't giving contractors jobs. My people, what is wrong with you? A seminar designed to help you navigate a new system.....and hardly anyone shows up!! Wow.....good luck trying to get a government contract.......and when you don't, don't blame the government.

what do u want the government to do in Freeport ?? Large resort hotels are waning ,the new model is Arbnb etc ,,Sure destination resort make it Atlantis etc but realistically we don,t have enough people w the right demeanor anymore for service in big resorts .Please don,t go one about boutique hotels our fixed cost ,electricity etc and low productivity and pilferage are too high for small hotels .How come Abaco does so well and Freeport does not ??..Same sun ,sand ,,sea ,,additude , smiles ,service bring guest ..guest spend Bahamians open off shoot business

Two of colony of islands prime ministers have lead their respective parties to victories consecutive governing terms. Comrade Minnis and those around him need take heart - there won't won’t be no second time charming the 91,409 voters come 2022 - more likely a massive far reaching dumping by constituents in next twelve months... the poor turn-out by Grand Bahamalanders is just a sampling what Imperial red shirts are to expect from 91,409 who voted them into governing... shaping up be the first forced from office before mandate has run out in we long parliamentary history?
Amen!

Five years is too long. Elections should be every three years. Too much ireparable damage can be done in half a decade. The signal is clear that Minnis is finished. Anything they try to do will fail. The people have spoken: Minnis is finished.

The people haven't spoken - the people spoke to you Fweddy when you lost your seat....we have still have a year or so before the peeps get to speak again.

Ma Comrade Pundit, weren't elections under Bay Street Boys held ever 7 years?
I don't have issue with MP's being elected 4 year terms each - what I'd like see are staggered terms so that approximately one-half of the House of Assembly "HOA" seats are up for election every two years - which would not only provide electorate with a window change balance of power in the HOA but to decided elect Independents to represent their constituencies. Independent MP's have played major positive leading roles in altering history Bahamaland.

I have a nephew, 17 years old, that makes more money on his smart phone in a day or two than I make putting in a 40 hour week. And everything he does is legal, trading stock, buying Crypto currency, selling stuff on EBay, you name it Imagine if the country can get 10,000 Lil Bahamian youth (yes males and females) to get into this. # millions

Hey John, is you nephew registered as a business, is he paying for an annual business tax, is he filing monthly NIB contribution forms with the correct contribution, is he registered with the vat tax state workers and is he filling out their form every month with the correct amount of vat tax to contribute to the government funds? His business all legal though, yeah, thought not. How is the government expected to $250,000 per year pension to ex ppm Perry, ex pm Hubert, and wife of ex pm pindling?

@hrysippus
Witty, on point and satirical all rolled into one. You made many profound points in so few words. Enjoyed reading your response though it's a sad reality we endure.

I am a Quantity Surveyor living in Freeport, and I would have gone ..but I never saw any adverisments for this...where were they posted???

Because the construction industry in Freeport is dead? Long time??
