The good people of Eleuthera really need to send this most corrupt Davis led PLP government a message he will never forget come the next general election.

LOL.....The PLP is, have always been, and **WILL ALWAYS BE** full of shyt!

This is the same group of bullshyters that promised the people relief on the campaign trail right before the last election with **"FREE ELECTRICITY"** for votes, then turned around and **DOUBLED ELECTRICITY COST** after winning power!

To add insult to injury they raised taxes on water, businesses, NIB, road traffic, business license, yacht charters, and are now working on taxing the Bahamian dream!

**ANYBODY STUPID ENOUGH** to vote for these deceitful, lying, crooked, pirates, deserves exactly what the **DUCK** got, and it ain't **"RELIEF"!**

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah......STFU and resolve the damn problem!

Our water was out on Andros today, and will likely be out tomorrow judging by the heavy equipment in the road. This is Mr. Lundy's constituency. This is Bahamian Water & Sewerage.
We have been complaining for years. Who's listening? Nobody!
Mr. Sweerting and Mr. Lundy said, "The level of service provided by Aqua Design Bahamas Limited is unacceptable and does not meet the standards we expect in The Bahamas,”
We have no standards, let's be real.
We're not the only one's complaining. Most people who have any self-respect just quit complaining. Why? Simple. The government doesn't seem to care.
Standards? Don't make me laugh.

Before the company was given this contract what major water development systems had they overseen?

There is nothing wrong with giving a new company an opportunity, but 3 things should be true, first, something should tell you that the major players have the potential to be successful, i.e., their base of knowledge in the field should be deep and extensive and they should have access to adequate funding. Being careful not to be fooled by the inclusion of a foreign "*token*" for name recognition (which is my major concern with the BPL deal, that this is a FOCOL *who've overseen two major oil spills in our waters* deal with the Pike name included to instill confidence.. but I could be wrong...). And conversely, not to give contracts to political cronies who know nothing essentially and outsource to a myriad of subcontractors hiking costs exponentially

Second, the company's history of engagement should demonstrate ethical behaviour (selling swamp land to thousands of fellow Bahamians in Pinewood without batting an eye, that's a serious black mark) and finally, the ecosystem in which that company operates should be different than that of one with decades of experience and success. The last being something the govt needs to oversee.

This problem on Eleuthera is spanning years, this is more than a "*maintenance issue*", this is breakdown and systemic failure. **I'd say this calls for a public post mortem forum (with FNM and PLP equally represented) in what not to do. especially on family islands**, you cant throw them to the wolves.

The PLP will balk at a public forum, but they must see at this point that what matters most to the public is transparency. You could do all the good in the world, if it looks shifty funded by public money, nobody cares. You could also complain about people focusing on an *insignificant* plane, part and parcel of what you got into.

Having had Christie, then Minnis and now Davis... what are we doing? Good PR will not save a govt

Not only will a public forum not work, I can prove to you that anyone who dares speak out will be viciously attacked.
First, they circle their own wagons, which are the politicians and their political cronies. The same ones who get the lucrative contracts no matter how badly and publicly they have failed in the past.
Our politicians do NOT want anyone who speaks with any conviction or intelligence to tell them how badly they are screwing their constituents.
They already know this and couldn't care less.
That is precisely why the Family Islands are in the state they are in.
The politicians say that the Family Islanders are too stupid and just don't care. When in reality the Family Islanders just got tired of complaining and seeing nothing done. Every election season big promises are made to the Family Islanders, just before the cash is handed out near the polling booths. Do ANY of the promises come true? See for yourself.

You have a point, we dont even need to go to the highest ranks in the country. I remember speaking up years ago at a former workplace about an injustice, when I looked behind me all I see was my shadow. A few months later one of the disappearing colleagues got targeted by the same authority and approached me about "*this injustice!*", my response, "*who's going to say anything*"? And that was the end of that.

But a way it could work is having a panel of justices oversee the process. You're basically following a factual trail, matching it to best practice. It either lines up or it doesnt. Because in 2024 when people cant flush toilets some questions have to be answered

When the former WSC Chairman (who the PLP has in court) tried to get rid of this same company, Brave Davis dem hollered bloody murder in Opposition.

But this USA company is still screwing WSC today ...... The PLP is singing a different tune now.
