First 100 Days, that is the International Bench Mark within which time a "new" Government is supposed to have put forward its most pressing iniatives, reforms and most promoted Projects. Unfortuantely, half way through and not much, if anything, mentioned to date, so let us pray for a busy 50 days, otherwise I fear we are truly doomed, as all the 100 days will have represented is a brief reprieve of optimism for the future, ended by a stark case of reality.
Even though we are only half way into the First 100 Days, the optimism for the future has already evaporated, so unless Prosecutions now follow to justify the focus of the First 50 Days, we have all been sold a "false bill of good", to which I expect the disillusioned reaction to be justifiably extreme.
To insinuate that Black Bahamian Women do not pay their bills and accordingly require political intervention from the highest Office in the land is racist and discriminatory.
As a former Minister of Health, please explain to me why he could not diagnosis himself, offer himself as fit for re-election, not seek treatment at PMH, but rather Doctor's Hospital and then die abroad? Truly a great Doctor, Patriot and Believer in our Public Hospital ... sadly not, but assuming he repented whilst on foreign soil, let us hope God truly does forgive ... RIP.
Do not count Izfailian out, as he is apparently still in the Will and with well funded Litigation, all is possible, including still further negotiations with whoever, as Litigation can be used delay and even stop business, if someone is willing to put up the sufficient monies to off-set potential damages caused, which with an open Daddy's wallet will be no issue. Also recall that the "real" reason for Izfailian's demise was not that he lacked money or that his dream was too far fetched, but rather thanks to his champagne drinking friends and advisors who blew smoke up his ass and then proceeded to leave him high and dry when most needed. It follows that he will be very keen to avenge these rookie mistakes and restore not only his Family's good name, but also secure his future inheritance. Bottom line is the Hotel was his baby and without him, it is heartless, so I for one will be rooting for him and just hope in the up coming chapters to be written of this still unfolding drama that he surrounds himself with better local advisors who tell him like it is, even if not always what he wants to hear. Everyone likes an "underdog" and what more exciting than one with not only a grudge to bear, but more money than most of us could ever dream of to produce a Win against all odds and in the process restore his reputation and that of his Family!
I agree the Government is rapidly squandering the most political capital ever vested in an Administration and the backlash is coming, unless they start actually doing something positive, as it is all well and good to confirm the reasons why the people voted for you, but that is all you are doing, substantiating why the people voted for you in the first place, and in the process, boxing one's self into a corner, whereby one has to follow through with prosecuting the "allegations", as if there is neither major positive news nor no one is in jail in short order, the backlash is going to be extreme and unforgiving.
The answer BahamaPundit is simple, you are looking at "oppressed" people who the Bay Street Boys fired for "tifing", were not always selected by their majority rule PM post Independence for "kick backs", the Colombian Drug Lords declined their "safekeeping" services, the Foreign Investor said no to them when offering "connections", the Tourists refused to be "hustled" by them, leaving only the Haitians, who would not even weed their yards due to "non-payment", so these "most oppressed" people grew up longing for their turn to pillage with utter unapologetic abandonment!
As an Oxford Graduate, this "Consultant" should have no issue Accounting in Detail by way of Verifiable Work Product for this $1mil. per year Contract, nor for that matter, any issue with publishing it in The Tribune for all and sundry to see, as after all, it was "the People's Money" from which he was paid and as a Patriotic Bahamian who claims to be of the highest integrity, he should welcome such opportunity to restore his much maligned reputation.
