Have to agree with the DNA Deputy Leader who lists very valid points for NOT joining this global monster organization which is controlled by the usual financial giants who follow its many rules and regulations at whim. By the time the Bahamas would be ready to join, WTO would probably be dismantled!
"The PHA has already exceeded its $4m overtime budget for all facilities and respective agencies by $2m, according to Dr Sands, who confirmed the shift in policy would impact overtime assigned in February onward."
My, but they seem to have access to figures of income and expenditure when it so suits! Buncha charlatans.
"the Authority's Board was about to hire a private collection agency "with the teeth" to pursue deadbeat borrowers after its staff found themselves "overwhelmed" by the sheer magnitude of the task."
"Management is of the view, however, that it is the intention of the Government to continue to financially support the Authority as a going concern. The Authority continues to operate at a deficit, and therefore, continued financial support of the Government is essential for its operations."
What a crock of bull! Judging by the report on yesterday's HOA proceedings, Mr. Chipman has every right to be frustrated, and even angry, at this blatant effort to thwart his (PAC)attempts at obtaining transparency of the spending of The People's purse. From what I have observed over time, The Speaker asserts his authority when it suits.......
