Sounds like someone's eyes are surprised by the potential income; while their greed has thrown out their agreement and development cost sharing. So in a fit of stupidity, they cut off the income payment services without an alternative method, in the height of charter season. You can't get any more ignorant political than this!!!

throwing out the baby with the water.

In the world of animal husbandry, do you kill your breeding adult cows & bulls for meat, when the intent is to increase your herd numbers? To only save the inmature sexualy inactive animals is a guarantee of population failure... after all who produces the babies?... the sexually mature adults!!
As conch produces their shell from layering the smooth beautiful inside portion, the Thick Lipped Conch are the Older Mature Breeders. The thicker the shell, the older the animal. Some Decades of Breeding!!

Having a harvesting rule and a plastic measuring devise with a 1/4" - 5/16" opening, allows the fisher to take animals with shell bigger than an open hand, but not thicker than 1/4" opening. Allowing rollers & early-flare for harvest, while maintaining mature breeders to increase the populations of managed areas.

Let's go back to Old Fisherman Rule: thick lip conch are poison, meet'ol, tuff, grey, nogood.
You would be an old tough poxed shelled Conch if you dragged your shell through sand, grass and reef for decades... with many multitudes of offsprings.

Over the years, various government administration's have refused to address the ever growing weed vine that is BPL. If you don't trim & stop feeding, it becomes uncontrollable. Now that it has taken over the whole house, no wonder it is choking the Bahamian People & Industry.
Two PLP & one FNM governments have received independent positive proposals to remedy this situation, All Refusing to Release the Nursing Tit of Shell...WHY? ...Got Shares?

On Who’s to blame for BPL costs?

Ref. Student Loans. Place an enforced clause that requires equivalent time in Public Services practicing their craft. If no such craft is in country, then substitute it with educational or social work. A couple of years giving back to The People of The Bahamas, can be supplemented by online education to continue their craft & careers. (Provided good online services are provided. Every other street light can be a Wi-Fi source, technology available & proposed to govt.)

Should you wish to actually resolve the Bahamas Resolve, make public the list of debtors WITH the amount owed. Peer pressure in a small society is very effective.
The cash cow that is government slackness needs less people sucking on it's dry tits. Resolve Bahamas went after the low-fruit, i.e. the small people who could not afford a lengthy legal fight. The higher the fruit the higher the legal batties. Publish the List.
Wonder how much business would an individual loose if their clients knew how much they owed. Probably an increase in business, as nothing is more popular than a Bigger Pirate in a den of Pirates & Thieves. Worthy of watching the effect. Publish the List.

As inflation & cost of living ever rising, the response will be "if they can, so can I". Keep in mind most politicians are attorneys who are true craftsmen in manipulation.
Where are society's moral church Leaders? Pushing the politicians aside.

Ever hear of "Apprentices Programs"? Practiced in some form in 90% of countries.
Sponsored by various union & trade organizations with government participation. Starting at middle schools, "Shop classes" where introductory to what skills could be possible & interesting.
There is a difference between Knowledge & Skill, DYI from Home Depot is knowledge, Fine Tuning that knowledge developed into a Skill, Mastering that Skill becomes a True Craftsman.

Why should the developer not import skilled personnel if such is not readily available to meet their standards? Sounds like a certification process is required. Are the infamous Unions &Trade Organizations willing to Ivest in such Education? Or just continue to collect dues & membership fees to pay executive/administrative salaries. Not a new problem...Complaining without solution is merely Cheap Hot Air.

On Skills transfer woe still a ‘sad reality’
