This arse-hole Darville and Davis just don't give a rat's-arse that the family members back in Cuba of these human-trafficked slaves are under serious threat of harm from the greedy authoritarian Cuban regime members who are profiteering with certain Bahamian government officials off of this most disgusting and evil slave-trade scheme.

While I didn't agree with The Bahamas giving so much money to the Cuban government for Cuban workers, coming back and asking **permission** from the US is pathetic! <br/>Is The Bahamas a sovereign nation or what? **Do what is right**, not just what the US wants. Corruption exists in the US as well and they can never be a good measuring stick for anyone.🤦‍♂️

Very much yes indeed.

"Dr. Darville has said the government is also stepping up efforts to recruit doctors and nurses from other countries, including India, the Philippines, and Ghana, to reduce dependence on any single source of foreign healthcare labour.."
And, the reason we need foreign healthcare workers?
Couldn't have anything to do with the pay, working conditions and respect, could it?
Whereby our own doctors and nurses are fleeing this country?
This is not the reason, is it?

Very good Porcupine. Added to the doctors and nurses are the engineers, civil, mechanical and the whole line of engineering specialists, advanced financial specialists, school teachers etcetc.

Roofs of govt building have been constructed and collapsed, schools have been built with defects in GB, seawalls in Freeport, BEC engines catching fire, illegal shantytown with structural building code defects, baseball stadiun needed more works, water treatment need more works, Post Office building on Gladstone bought but not suitabble, airplane flying without safety devices for around 10 years until stopped, roadworks with pooled water areas, flooding residential areas with septic tanks, rusty piped drinking water, commercial complexes designed and published for approval without adequate parking, etcetcetc.

Setbacks in these areas and then corrective measures likely adds up to hundreds or billions of $$$$$$$$$$ dollars and years of setbacks of national development and comfort and progress of Bahamian people and money of the privileged or fortunate poured out of the nation.

Corruption is spelt U-S-A. Their 'all-for-me' tactics are worse than communism.

The procedures of the matter should NOT BYPASS the CITIZENS of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

The matter should be put to the people by REFERENDUM.

Bahamians with their guests should not be unilaterally bypassed in the situation of the service of MEDICAL CARE .

PRIVY COUNCIL. ----- If there is a legal impasse and if the govt. has to go outside the country, then it should be the PRIVY COUNCIL as a Bahamian decider and as to whether it is a "worse of the worst" on the matter on whether the Cuban Medical professionals remain or not to remain in the sovereign nation of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

REFERENDUM ----- Bahamian people should not be bypassed on matters relating to the last changes of getting Cuban medical services especially in hidden sums of money involved much later revealed to the Bahamian people.

........PRIVY COUNCIL ----- the SAME way that the legal decider is used to decide on matters of Haitians in dispute and Jamaicans in dispute, the the same way the Cubans must be legally considered by the Privy Council as whether to get to stay in the Bahamas or leave. And if the Bahamian laws are broken then there is the Detention Centre just like all others.

Referendum? You mean like the 2 million we spent…wait…the 2 million the plp spent on the numbers referendum and did not honor our votes. They did what they wanted to do and ignored the people. Why are they still a party or in power? The country with the biggest stick , WINS! End of story about this pie in the sky that we are a sovereign nation… Bull backs!! You have been bamboozelled!

Those Cubans will be on the first plane to the US if they can. I don't blame them.

Sovereign Nations Premier goes to Florida for medical care. Sovereign Nation have no Hospitals?

Seriously?????

Every independence celebration needs to be canceled immediately, as it is clear we are not an independent nation.

Don't worry. We are ALL owned. We took our eye off the ball for too long. Independence is an illusion. We have now borrowed so much money, and signed away our children's future that independence is merely a word.
Like the way this administration uses the word "transparency". These words have no meaning here.
