Unfortunately we like to talk as though we are a Christian nation who does right by people, however we are anything but. Doesn't matter which party is in power they are all the same and never do anything unless they can see the benefit for themselves. By now they should have a procedure in place for family to be able to visit inmates.
This is good, however why does it take the US to police our waters. All it will take is a couple of those big boats being taken (as we are allowed to by law) and then sold for word to get out that we are serious. You only need to look at photos on fishing sites to see the amount being caught is well above our laws. Finally I know the boaters will say if we do that they won't come, well don't, its not as though you have a great amount of choice as to where you go.
Good letter, apart from the end. If PLP win you will feel exactly the same in 5 years. We really need to try other parties and or independents as these two parties have almost brought us to our knees.
Government doesn't understand how business operates, in order for them to pay their bills and make a profit they need the people they have entered into contracts with to pay on time. yet again it appears our Government has not done that. Not only that they need to know how long the contract will go on for, so of course they want to know if it is going to be extended. So this company does the only thing left and go to the press to say we are turning off the water on X date. Not sure if the Government is aware but Suez bought GE water in 2017 for $3.4 billion, Suez is the parent company of Aqua designs, so losing Bahamas may be unfortunate but not life changing for the company. Whilst not having water is life changing for those Bahamians living there.

The letter writer is correct, as long as we have all paid our bills to WSC. If we haven't that might explain why they are unable to pay their bill.

What is new about the PLP this time round. It's still pretty much being run by the same people as before.
