How that company got that contract needs to be investigated and disclosed to the public. That company was banned by the MOW after it messed up the construction of the Garvin Tynes primary School.

Mrs. Minnis does not need an office to affect change or volunteer for various social programs.
Nothing is stopping her presently from doing this.This comes about when you have persons, who don't know how, our Westminister system of government works and want to implement the American Federal Republican system, Denis Thatcher, Norma Major and Cherie Booth did not have an official office when their spouses served as prime ministers of the United Kingdom.

This announcement will be the fourth attempt to renew the inner cities of New Providence. There was a plan drawn up by Columbia University out of New York in the sixties under the UBP government.
The Grants Town Urban Renewal Program of the Pindling Government in the early eighties.
Never implemented. One of the reasons was the World Bank recommended that the entire over the hill area needed to be razed to the ground and left fallow for fifty years.This was because the water table was so so polluted.
The Christie Government Urban Renewal Program.Poorly managed, no goals set and no real accountability for the funds spent.
Now the Minnis administration turn.
New Providence on the whole needs local government.However the ruling class don't want that.
The media needs to do research on these things and don't simply repeat the words that come from the politicians' mouths.

Hubert Minnis made a big mistake in his appointment.This removing of qualified senior civil servants for political reasons sets a bad precedent. But as a previous commentator said. PM Hubert Minnis is simply a PLP in FNM colthing.

Defending a poor use of the people's tax dollars. What special skills did that man possess?
in my opinion, none. But I don't expect much from Phillip Davis. He was an inept DPM and Minister
