it has been 5 years since Dorian and this is as far as they have gotten? Imagine what the United Nations is saying about our corrupt country. Incompatency from the top to the bottom.

a shelter for 200 people will leave a lot of souls to fend for themselves. Corruption, cronyism and clowns running this country decade after decade

Pass a law that the politicians who make these decisions must go to these buildings during storms. Reckon the quality will change pretty fast then,

What inherent issues?

So the price of the shelter has doubled, the roof that is supposed to withstand a major hurricane has collapsed during a simple rainstorm, and the "contractor" who is building it has no other work featured on their website other than this single building.

Something doesn't sound right here.

The good thing about this is , the roof collapsed now and not in a hurricane . Imagine 200 people in that shelter , roof collapses and the winda are 135 mph. That would be a hundred million dollar lawsuit for the government and deaths. The PLP would lose the election for many terms. Must be the dude whom got the contract for Bamsi and had no insurance.

These things happen. Seen it myself. You simply have got to brace the trusses better. Simply remove trusses and put back. Then usually some break and have to be replaced from who knows where.

Another"teachable moment". Sounds like the Bahamian people will have to pay even more now for a building that is supposed to withstand major hurricanes while its roof simply collapsed during a rain. Is it any wonder that the government is getting more aggressive in its tax collection? The people must pay for incompetence and corruption.

The comments to this news story are more pathetic than the story itself.

How so? The GB shelter was scheduled to be completed for 600,000 back in June and would house 300 people. 4.6 million? I recall the text messaging Marco's alert that offered features available by subscription for 500 dollars a month was contracted at about that price as well. It is inexplicable.

I've never heard of Mosko getting a contract for a building and the roof collapsing. Someone said to "*brace it better*". Isnt there a science to this? The width the length the height determine how much support it needs etc etc? No need to watch roof after roof collapse then say not a big deal it just needed stronger braces.

It is inexplicable. Something was wrong that had nothing to do with braces. If this were a fairy tale I'd say someone take the money and run and leave an unskilled incompetent to complete the 4.6 million job for 300,000 dollars. But this een a fairy tale so that couldnt happen.

THE trusses on a **hurricane shelter** being built in Abaco collapsed. 😳

The shelter was originally **slated to open in May 2021**. 🥸

Officials say they expect it to be **completed by the end of this year**. 🤣

He called the rise to $4.8m “inexplicable”. 😎

We don’t want to make things like this political, but the incompetence is rife here,” he said. 🙄

In response to the criticism, Leon Lundy, the minister responsible for the Disaster Risk Management Authority, noted that no one was inside when the roof collapsed and **emphasized that safety is the top priority.** 😬

He said despite the setback, the contractor remains **committed to delivering a quality hurricane shelter capable of withstanding Category 5 winds.** 😮

**March on Bahama land** 🤔

I would certainly lay the blame on slavery and those darned colonialists.
