We have spent over half a billion dollars on Bahamasair (and this was 10 years ago so its a lot more), and don't get good service. Other local airlines seem to manage it to most locations. it would be cheaper for the Bahamian public if Government guaranteed a certain number of seats on each plane to the unprofitable islands then and Bahamasair working.
The department knows what they are doing. They just don't care. They are broke so need money from everywhere to continue the merry go round. They won't cut expenses or stop the rampant corruption so it is on the small business man to take up the slack. And if they fold then so be it, might mean an opportunity for them or a friend to get in on it.
Yes suspending them is the correct thing after what they did. However they did what they did as they were not allowed to speak on important matters. That is because the so called "Brave" PM did not want them to
There are already laws on the books stopping this stuff. They just aren't enforced. This is all to make people think they are doing something.

Wonder how he got this job if he doesn't understand that. He could have said it happens in US election years and people would have agreed. Instead he went with this, and the Tribune using their reporting skills just repeated it and didn't question it
No one said it did. If you read what i wrote you will see where i said the last parliament and any before. All out. You have no problem with it as its your beloved PLP and therefore you don't care about the country.
All you want to do is sweep it under the rug. Anything that may make your party look bad you don't want to hear. You don't care what it does to the country , all you care about is your beloved PLP. Let the chips fall where they may and if it means all sitting MPs and those from the last parliament and any before that go down then so be it. AS a country we will never do better if we don't stop this corruption, no matter which party.
