May Angelou said when people show you who they are, believe them..

This government is breaking the law straight up and don't care, and trying to justify it.

2026 cannot come soon enough.

Absolutely.

-- Yes?

**The Focal point** is that so many are working 40-60+ hours** for weekly **pay-packets** to survive whilst still not dependent upon cuttin'-on light switches for rooms light-up. --- Now lookin' like some people, goin' gotten even richer off of others - darkness's and fridges' spoiled stuffs' are being tossed into the garbages'.--- Yes?

It gets worse everyday.
URCA approved the "single source" bid. Big surprise.
The working Bahamian people are finished
All benefits now go to those who sell their soul and give and take kickbacks.
Some would call this a cartel.
We gat some jokey leaders.

This is sickening. URCA is a rubber stamp. I filed a complaint months ago and they haven't even acknowledged receipt of it. They are not regulating anyone. This single bid nonsense is just a flagrant abuse by the government. We know who is behind FOCOL and we know that is also a major donor for the current government's election campaigns. So, this is more about ensuring their people get the lion share of contracts. This isn't about best bids or what is good for the country. We see yesterday the story of 40% of BPL being sold. Once again the deal circles back to the same people. This government is a sickening disgrace. They don't have the Shame in their minds to realize this shouldn't even be so utterly obvious the flagrant disregard they have for the Bahamian people. This is piracy. Plunder! Plunder! Plunder!

What completely circular reasoning. Completely unimpressed by this minonster.

1. *Sun Oil/FOCOL was best choice because they were able to source 2 generators in record time.*

The rights offering for those generators was opened in February, and from February Sun Oil was talking about a *new expansion into the energy sector*. It all happened very suddenly. **February**. Who knew "what" in February and then used the **insider information** to invest in this deal that Sun Oil clearly knew enough about to "gamble" to the exclusion of other bidders, and could seek funding to set themselves up as the perfect solitary choice? Remember Brave Davis told us relief was coming June 2nd, which turned out to be the ~exact date Sun Oils generators arrived?

I wonder if we'll uncover any Bahamar like "*let's work together*" emails in the future...

2. *The electricity act allowed URCA to approve a single source bid*

Is the minister referring to the bill they rushed through parliament in 1 (?) week that allowed URCA to approve a single source bid that they could say a law allowed URCA to act so? Circular reasoning enough? Remember when the entire country was asking why they were rushing this messy bill?

2026 cant come soon enough.

This is just another plp disgusting abuse of power and elevation of old guard cronies. The sunshine boys have too much already. It is time to fade into the sunset with their ill gotten gains over the decades.

These comments are never used for the shipping port the cruise port or the post office..

I smell a most corrupt PM who, using his dumbo minister of energy, Jobeth Davis, and his dumbo AG, Ryan Pinder, as his pied pipers of choice on all matters relating to "juicy" BPL contracts, is paving the way for the Bahamian people to be bitten by a poisonous Snake. And the evil and greedily hissing Snake is lying in wait with the already selected greedy foreign partners and other greedy local scoundrels who are all licking their chops at the prospect of feasting on the wealthier electricity consumers using a billing rate structure based on their perceived wealth rather than usage.

I would encourage all persons deeply concerned about the disastrous consequences to flow from the new Electricity and Natural Gas Bills to read Claude Hanna's excellent letter to the Editor of The Tribune that was published in a late April.

The letter concisely addresses the unconstitutional, national security and many other most serious issues that these two new statutes will expose and subject our nation and its people to. The dire consequences Bahamians will face from the enactment of these two bills should deservedly be politically owned and worn around the neck of every current sitting PLP member of parliament and all future candidates for a PLP seat in parliament.

Opposition leader Pintard and the entire leadership apparatus of the FNM party should be taking immediate appropriate steps to publicly announce their intent to fully repeal the two statutes for constitutional and national security reasons, not to mention the frightening impact of extremely high costs for electricity consumers, especially those deemed to be wealthier. This should be one of the first acts of Pintard and his cabinet if the FNM is successful in winning a controlling majority of seats in the next general election.

Snake and his local and foreign cronies were instrumental in the drafting of the new electricity and LNG statutes for their own self-gain which will come at a great cost to the Bahamian people. This most corrupt Davis led PLP government has paved the way for these greedy crooks to reap and enjoy the huge windfall profits they so eagerly await, while leaving the Bahamian taxpayers on the hook for all of BPL's existing debts amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. Pintard really needs to get off of his duff and make this unequivocally known to all concerned, especially Bahamian voters.

CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE HER AND OTHERS LIKE HER PASSING LEGISLATION THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO DETERMINE WHICH CUSTOMERS CAN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE ELECTRICITY THEY CONSUME, WITH THE GOVERNMENT DESIGNATED WEALTHIER HAVING TO PAY MUCH HIGHER ELECTRICITY COSTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUBSIDIZING THE MUCH LOWER ELECTRICITY COSTS THAT WOULD BE BILLED TO THOSE DESIGNATED LESS WEALTHY !!!!!!! Meanwhile the foreign owned hotels, resorts and other developments will continue to get their generous electrical power concessions and government departments, agencies and SOE's will remain BPL's biggest delinquent debtors, to the tune of mega millions of dollars. No sane Bahamian should ever vote for any PLP party candidate ever again. The party is no longer progressive ........ it is now a down right authoritarian communist regime!
