Cayman Islands purchased 200,000 testing kits from South Korea.They sold 35,000 kits at cost to Bermuda.They also sold 20,000 testing kits to Barbados.

They are willing to sell testing kits to other caribbean countries at cost.

No body has said why the government did not reach out to the Cayman Islands.

My comment on this matter is the Caymanian government is way ahead of our government in this matter.

The police force was top -heavy according to a report ordered by the current minister of national security.

This current promotion exercise makes no sense.You now have 23 chief superintendents when you only need 11.Do the politicians think about the fiscal state of the country when they make these decisions? 45 superintendents really?

There are other agencies of the government who have not any promotion exercises in several years.

This version of the FNM is just like the PLP in many regards.

Why would the Federal Reserve Bank do a currency swap with the Central Bank of the Bahamas?

The Bahamian dollar is non-convertible.There is no demand for Bahamian dollars outside of the Bahamas.

I learned that when I visited Cuba,the Dominican Republic and the Turks and Caicos.In TCI,the us dollar was accepted as legal tender.In the other two countries it was converted into pesos.But not the bahamian dollars I had.

Gowon Bowe is an accountant.He is not a trained economist.

He will tell you that.

The editors need to check these stories before they go to print.

Tiger B,this version of the FNM did not want Ellison Greenslade to remain as commissioner of
police.They amended the police act so he could retire after 38 years with his full pension.They also made him high commissioner.Rt.Hon Hubert Ingraham explained that in an interview with a journalist.They frustrated Samuel Evans into retirement.All those political parties by their games are doing is politicizing the civil service and armed forces.

What you saying is wrong.Those officers have not been fired,they have been reassigned.To discipline or fire those men, a special committee appointed by the governor general has to do that.An ex-police man who is now an attorney at law explained that.He also said what powers were given to the police commissioner under the police act and the constitution.There was a reason why our British overlords did not want the police and civil service politicized.But since you are a rabid FNM,you cool with any foolishness done by this version of the FNM.i am not a supporter of either the PLP or FNM.

Taxes will eventually be raised in the future .If you really believe what the DPM said. I can sell you the bridge I own.It is between the Cove,Crooked Island and Lovely Bay Acklins.

The Bahamian economy is mainly tourism based.Tourism earnings is the main source of foreign exchange.The majority of our visitors come from the US which is hard hit by the COV19 pandemic.It may be very tough in this country for some time.

This promotion exercise is simply the FNM promoting their supporters.There are three ACPs who have been basically transferred out of the police force to make space for those promotions.
This is just a cynical display of power.Previous prime ministers like Sir Lynden Pindling and Hubert Ingraham did it more smoothly.

Maintenance and upkeep of buildings is not a strong suit of successive governments. The condition of the embassy building reflects poorly on the country.
