BTW, the majority of home and business owners in The Bahamas can no longer afford hurricane insurance. In the face of increasingly frequent catastrophic hurricanes, this is one example of the many serious matters ignored by the elected desk-thumping parliamentarians who gather, at The People's expense, to engage in child's play and one-upmanship rather than dealing with issues that affect us all.
$11 million dispersed to aid in home repairs for going on five thousand devastated home owners in the North. (Was it $20 million the so-called Minister of Works just bragged about spending on sidewalks in the Capital?) I believe there were grants of $2500, $5000, $7500 and $10,000, depending on the SHR inspectors' evaluations of minimal, moderate, major damage and total destruction. After the applicants jump through the usual hoops, they approve purchase orders for supplies and labour. They stop disbursement at mid-point until a further inspection is carried out to verify the repairs. By this time I believe many of the unpaid hardware suppliers and construction teams became understandably unwilling to commit to further outlay of materials and labour and the season's very active tropical down-pours and gale-force winds continued relentlessly....
Perhaps all SB debtors not domiciled in Nassau should refrain from making good on any debts to this shabby institution as a matter of protest for such inconscionable treatment of its thousands of family island customers who have suported this bank and its coffers for decades.
That idiot police commissioner AND Dames need to go, NOW!! If we have no one with the intelligence and integrity for the posts, bloody well import them!!
This man needs to go too. He is of no help to the Free National Movement. Another one who does not LISTEN to the people of his own party. He is also out to lunch, a total waste of time.
