Populaces demand see paper and communications trail about what exactly did landlord, government inspectors and comrade minister Renward know about 'failed pressure testing,'
Pre Post Office's official opening, and when did they first learn doubtful newly renovated $70 million dollars pipes being rendered inadequate .... talk has it there's short supply Toilet papers at new Post Office ....

Now the mail will have mould, oh boy!!!

Bingo!

"Flooding already at new Post Office." Ma comrades, what is the value PopulacesPurse's $70 millions not going get workers at Post Office these Imperialists red shirts first 815 days governing days .... Yep, pipes that are not done bursting over heads workers .... At least water pipes at the former Phil's Food Services building, couldn't have failed any worst if put under water pressure test ....

Can these people do nothing right? Hydrostatic testing after occupancy?
How would we ever know what mail got soaked?
Wait and see what bills etc don't show up?

I agree 99%, the little I disagree with is the foreign investor part.
And while we know they take profits away, the do spend a lot and that helps.
The real shame is that local wealth refuses to commit to much in the free markets, ie hotels and high end development. They seem to wait until they can rig a gig backed by government and sometime monopoly status.

On our current path, we are doomed!

number 4 and 5 are not factual , we ran the hotels before it was a f,,,king disaster , we cant even keep the lights on ,,the PLP set the tax rates the FNM is trying to raise them ..And the alternative is the PLP .I live in reality we have 2 choices FNM or PLP . If we get a third party they may be worse , these people came from us they represent our mores , values , integrity or lack of and ability . .

@concernedcitizen: If you truly believe what you say in your last sentence, then why even bother showing up at the polling station to vote come election day? What you in fact choose to believe is the false notion that voters only have a choice of two evil political parties and that the FNM will always be more evil than the PLP. The Minnis-led FNM cabinet takes great comfort in knowing there are many voters like you who are willing to overlook both their inability to govern and their corrupt shenanigans. Meanwhile, whether the FNM or PLP is the governing party of the day produces the same dismal end result for our country, and all of us; except of course the political elite and their cronies who have unjustly enriched themselves at the expense of the rest of us.

Don't get fooled into believing it all boils down to a choice of two evil political parties (PLP or FNM) whose elected officials will always be reflective of an evil Bahamian society at large.....that's precisely what the political elite in both of these parties want you to believe. It's that fatalist belief that now emboldens their evilness and keeps them in power until memories fade and they are perceived to have become more evil than the other party. This is precisely why we have seen alternating landslide election victories for the PLP and FNM in recent decades. There are more than enough decent, honest, intelligent and hardworking Bahamians among us and we just need to figure a way of getting them interested in running for elected office and elected.

The absolute worst case scenario is we first become a failed state and then resort to using violence with outside (foreign) interference to change the unsuitable system of government that our colonial masters forced on us.

I actually believe the FNM are a lot better than the PLP . I think as a people we are a young country and do not realize w freedom comes responsibility , we may or not get there that is yet to be seen . I think sexually we are irresponsible and are producing more children than our economy can absorb in terms of jobs Plus we got rid of foreign teachers too fast .We have been covering it up w an ever increasing civil service and debt .The alternative is crime and poverty .Will we mature as a people or regress ,,that is yet to be seen.

If uncle Tommy Wells the masterful lair said the damage is minimal, it means
there was a flood.

They will learn soon enough that you can not do wrong and get by, The Just
one is in charge,

Many colony's comrade out islanders, struggling meet their own daily financial musts have long held suspicions that the Post Office's $70 million was but one the still to be added to the well-connected former grouping UBP's shopping carts list that were pre 2017 general election promised would be filled and delivered - prior to to next general election vote counting day, yes, no .... It would be sinful just make this so suspiciously too UBP looking pre 2017 general election arrangement up ....

Has some Bahamian "prophet" cursed that TCM place???? ....... Those GPO workers do not need any more stress for a while. They have endured enough for the past 10 years.

Get real all of you putting a political slant on a water leak. In every country and supposed first world countries there are failures despite millions being spent, particularily in the aviation and defence industries. Brand new cars fail is that the PLP or FNM fault, your new house can have a plumbing or electrical fault is that a political doing. Anyway a more important issue is under PLP or FNM the post office has always been a disgrace, lost mail, stolen periodicals to the extent that it just isn't worth sending anything of importance through the Bahamian mail system.

The political take on this incident is inescapable and fully warranted. You don't move a general post office from one delapidated building to another delapidated building, especially one owned by a senior cabinet minister at the time the lease was inked. And let's not forget the key terms of the lease were negotiated by our PM directly with the very conflicted landlord of the 'new' delapidated building notwithstanding Brent Symonette's many earlier assertions that he played absolutely no role whatsoever in negotiating the key terms of lease with government - in fact he later admitted doing so directly with none other the PM himself.

Ma Comrade OMG, wasn't populaces but Imperialists red shirts "Einstein" Minister Renward who trumpeted away on each the many times his very own delayed targeted openings $70 million new Post Office failed materialize that each one many official opening day delays only came about - because unlikes former PLP administration's many Post Office blunders - his Imperialists red cabinet were steadfast in guaranteeing populaces, nothing short of a “"state-of-the-art” General Post Office, yes, no .... Ma Comrade, this "Einstein" Renward is not just some creation upstairs populaces mind but he ranks high up as one them in the flesh and blood 35, ever be charged responsibility governing colony of out islands ...........
