Lol.. didn't Minnis say he would sell Bahamar?

Perry's first term was in excess of 15 years ago.

Since then there are many qualified Bahamians whose ability to lay pipes and build roads are ABOVE market standard.

Did you miss the part in the Article where it was stated that there is a license and qualified fnm company in the name of rowdy boys whose ability to complete the work has been tried and tested under successive governments? the fnm has contracted these guys in the past - and the relationship was mutually beneficial and ended at the successful completion of the project.

If your only argument to defend this clear case of corruption, cronyism and nepotism is the fact the hotmix had a monopoly on road works nearly a decade ago your tribune242 screen name should proudandloudasshole

There is no reason brent symonette should've received this contract having submitted a bid almost DOUBLE that of the runners-up whose company has been passed the trial and test of public works.

This contract is not in the best interest of The Bahamian people and on the surface its benefits only span to Brent $100m Symonette and Adrian Gibson who - after this contract signing - may have cleared his first $1m.

Yes.

Apart from the fact that the immediate family(strategically crafted to avoid lawsuits even though he really owns it) of a sitting Cabinet Member owns the company he awarded the contract to - which was double the amount of the runner-up bidders (who coincidentally has a great history of work with successive governments and can be mobilized locally without the need of assistance from the capital) there is nothing wrong.....LOL

I wouldn't trust the health care in The Bahamas either after Dr. Sands has picked fights with all the nurses and doctors.

Lol the FNM anger you have built up in you is ridiculous. It will be scary what you do once the FNM loses the next election.

Like you're walking around with your FNM sunglasses and not seeing the real world.

Don't you notice - noone listens to your FNM rhetoric.

Every FNM's response will resemble this..

not addressing the fact that this administration is failing - but shooting the messenger.

Doc sucks. Even the FNM knows it.. This is an attempt to muzzle it.

Until we reduce the cost of energy in The Bahamas - articles like this will come and go without any real activity.

We cannot compete with countries who charge less than a fraction than we do for most expensive fixed cost in the tech sector, electricity. Additionally, we have archaic laws that deal with intellectual property and other tech related factors. When we see changes in that regard, then these Silicon Valley pipe dreams can actually come to fruition.
