Thank you!!

Simply put..... he’s a PLP. That’s all.

Agreed. Minnis has dropped the ball on this one. And Moultrie who is disgruntled with Dr. Minnis (because he can’t get his own way) has used this opportunity to undermine the government. Selfishness at its highest degree.

Is the nurse in the above picture really giving a shot without gloves??? Wow! What ever happened to Tier 1 Standard Precaution???

@moncurcool...... I agree with you. Like many people who post on this website, Birdie is a staunch PLP who doesn’t provide any objective assessment or insight of things. All he/she does is attack the FNM regardless of what they do. Like most PLP’s he/she fails to acknowledge the fact that the FNM was thrust into power due to the inept, incompetent practices of the PLP. How many seats did the PLP win again??? Hmph.

@TigerB.... I’m not at all surprised. Sounds about right. And if what you are saying is indeed true, then this appears to be just another political stunt intended to woo voters in the next upcoming general elections. The problem is, these stunts tend to back fire when voters realize that these actions are really predictable election tactics. However, the article does say that this is only the first phase of the project.

Because many of them DON’T do the right thing with our tax dollars!! Such as spending 20 million dollars on a Carnival Festival!

The purpose of VAT is to reduce our national debt!! That why the government introduced it!!! Because we owe owe owe!!! Either we reduce our debt or the IMF and other international lenders were about to devalue our dollar which equates to economic suicide! Furthermore, how do you know that the government has collected 900 million dollars on VAT??? Can you validate or prove that? Is it in writing? Is that an official amount? Has that been officially reported by a credible news outlet? Where did you get this number from? Show me some proof please. We Bahamians are notorious for talking unsubstantiated rubbish!

Guys...... do you realize that it costs approximately 400 to 600 million dollars to build a hospital??? And that does not include the millions of dollars it would cost to staff the facility. Furthermore, the Bahamas is a small country with only four-hundred thousand people, many of whom are unemployed with no national or federal healthcare program in place to pay their hospital visits. So where will the government get the funds from to build a brand new hospital and cover operational costs??? Y’all need to be more practical in your thinking and stop blurting out every piece of nonsense that comes to mind. Smt.

@JokeyJack, you are indeed Jokey fa true! The government is not responsible for your inability to feed yourself. However, they are indeed responsible for erecting and renovating facilities that are crucial to the healthcare delivery system. Do you realize that for almost a decade the Rand Memorial hospital didn’t even have a crash cart??? Which means anyone suffering cardiac arrest or heart failure would probably die due to the lack of emergency medicine! This was unconscionable and inept and the government knew that it was their responsibility to fix it! Feeding you and other Bahamians is not their problem! It’s yours! By the sweat of YOUR brow YOU shall eat bread! Not the government. Bahamians need to understand that many of them are in the position that they are now in due to the poor choices they have made in their lives. You’re not a baby! So get off the government’s tit! If you are hungry, go and farm your own food and stop begging the government! 20 million dollars on renovating a hospital is money well spent!
