That resolution to borrow those funds for BPL should have been included in the budget. That was done separately to hide the size of the deficit.

The FNM like the PLP are using sleight of hand tricks to hide the deficit. Also don't be surprise if a management company is brought back to run BPL.A lot of external lenders may insist on that with the company's proposed debt. There are lenders who don't have any great confidence in their management team.

Never was a PLP .Big supporter of Hubert Ingraham. Ingraham is the best prime minister this country will ever have.

Why don't you explain who Meyer Lansky and Louis Chesler were?

All over the island of New Providence, there are abandoned and derelict vehicles with licence plates attached. Ask the persons at the Road Traffic Department, how many vehicles are not on the road. They can't tell you.

The Road Traffic Department don't even have an inventory of plates. So they can't even tell what happen to those plates. The Road Traffic Department should have been modernized decades ago. That process was stymied.

Money was indeed stolen from the Road Traffic Department. But not in the millions of dollars as political propagandists as you allege. Also how was the money laundered through the banking system. Because any large deposit of suspicious cash should be reported and investigated by the financial intelligence unit.

I don't support neither of the two major political parties because they sell the same dreams to the Bahamian people. Like a young businessman ,what you see in the Bahamas is a failure of systems for years.

Persons like you is just repeat political garbage. Don't understand why things have to be done.

This same problem happened under the PLP government also. Governments come and go, yet many problems persist.

There are at least 12 international airports scattered through the islands of the Bahamas to maintain. Some of those airports don't generate the revenues to maintain them. But most Nassauvians are unaware of that.

Bahamians love politics and power but don't understand governance and management.

This is one of the major development challenges of the Bahamas. It is a group of islands.

Many of these islands require infrastructure for their residents. Proper docking facilities, roads, clinics and proper schools. The average Nassuvians don't understand that. As far as they are concerned, Nassau is the Bahamas.

For years ,there has also been a lot of internal migration in the Bahamas. Many persons migrated to New Providence to live and work. Some islands in the Bahamas are being depopulated. Plenty politicians and their supporters don't understand that.

This is a non story. The real question is this gentleman's competency for this job?

Ask people in the know who really understand economic policy.

The minister of finance said that criticism of the interest rate on the 600 million dollar loan was unfounded. Now this.

You have persons attached to this same government expressing concern about that interest rate. Like someone said to me, this shows the incompetency of the acting financial secretary.
He should be the senior technocrat in that ministry but he is a political appointee and crony. Even The Punch which acts as the mouth piece of the Hubert Minnis faction of the FNM has questioned the minister and acting financial secretary competency in this matter. They make a lot of poor fiscal decisions.

You obviously don't understand Canadian politics. It is not as simple as Bahamian politics.

Justin Trudeau has a minority government. The Progressive Conservative Party can't win in Canada 's two largest provinces, Ontario and certainty not in Quebec. They also can't win in the Atlantic Provinces and not also in British Columbia. Canada for the time being at the federal government has basically regional parties in it's federal parliament.

Also ask Canadians what happen to the Conservatives after Brian Mulroney left office and the accusations against him.

Bahamians love politics and power but don't understand governance and management.

The Economic Recovery Committee in many of their recommendations in the summary report merely rehashed what was in the National Development Plan of the PLP.

They did not fulfill their main mandate. That is provide ideas how to immediately jump-start this economy. Their idea unwritten, is to wait for tourism to restart in large numbers. This simply shows this modern economy was primarily developed by two men long ago. Sir Harold Christie and Sir Stafford Sands. Every body else has been riding their train.

As for the Acting Financial Secretary, he is merely one of Dr.Minnis political payoffs. Quite a number of persons in this town know the circumstances of his departure from his last place of employment.

Possession of small amounts of marijuana should be decriminalize. Too many young persons are in this country don't have a clean police record because of these laws regarding of dangerous drugs.

They sometimes unable to obtain employment or further their education. You are creating a whole class of people outside this society's mainstream. The parliament needs to review that entire criminal code and make the necessary changes.
