Simply amazing! Government expects business to comply with responsible requirements, YET they are UNABLE to meet theirs?
I'm referencing to, at minimum, the financial disclosures for Parliamentarians; to simply the payments of Power & Water invoices by govt agencies & groups; particularly to the payments of payrolls & debts due.
they expect business to comply, yet they do not!!
Let's at least, see the Transparency Legislation in effect instead of a pipe dream.
Business & Govt's are Equal Partners in an Economy.
Parasitic, one sided, Take-All-You-Can While-You-Can, is an Economy Killer.

By the fact that Government is willing to sacrifice a known important, valuable wellfield and pursue involvement with China Export-Import Bank; these are indicators of the financial deficit they find themselves in.
The wellfield is in their portfolio thus no need to buy property & few would provide such low low rates, even with knowing the true cost & long term commitments demanded by this group's arrangement. Many Caribbean Governments have refused such terms after their own strong-arm experiences. Buyer beware!!
New Providence is an overpopulated island with little natural spaces left, protect what you have!

Keep in mind, it is the adults in the picture, that determine the possibilities of the children.
We expect teachers to educate when not given the resources: skills,monetary & tools. We are expected to mold the natural curiosity of children while spending most of our time/energies on administrative exercises imposed by those who do not teach!
Administrators, administrate, i.e.: find the resources & time for teachers to teach!!.
parents, be Your children's parent & mentor, not their friend & 'mates. Quit sending your kids to school for baby-sitting purposes while you work or play. Minimize the screen-time baby-sitting, advance required physical education & sports. Children's bodies & minds are in constant growth, requiring perpetual flexing and use.
If resources are not available in our educational institutions, we will pay more while they stagnate in our alternative institutions...such as jail.
It's proven, Education is cheaper in the long run!!

This is an example of "Da dumbing of Da Populus" for dictatorial purposes... the concept of "the dumb are easier to control via lies & deception."
The truth is, the time & treasure governments do not spend on their education responsibility, the private industry must spend again to minimaly educate for their pertinent industry. Resulting in a Minimally Functioning Economy at twice the cost!.
don't like the results... demand change. It's your responsibility & $$$.

"inadequate equipment..." is another word for inadequate funds or trying to do it cheap!!
In salvage, equipment equals money spent.
Where are the insurance people? They should be held accountable to the tune of $10,000 per day. Oh, no insurance? No operator's license? ... JAIL for the Owners!
Where are the governing bodies who collect fees, do no monitoring, have no plan of action & no authority... the government has no cojones to enforce anything beyond mouth diarearaah, while bullying the man on the street.
These islands suffer from TOO Much... clean blue water, fish & coral, mangroves etc.
"There's more oveerder, no real loss."

What is GBPC doing to encourage improvement on the economy?
How about pushing Government to start reconstructing the airport? Invest in Industry & alternative energy projects & storage, beyond PR?
Emera is critically low on capital, just sold a natural-gas company in New Mexico for $ 1.2 billion, yes Billions. Yet they are willing to increase cost on clients in a hurting economy!!
Corporate Disconnect, yes an electrical pun.

The truth is that Megayachts provide little to a local economy, compared to cruising family smaller vessels. They carry high capacity of fuel, groceries and desal plants for water. When groceries and special supplies are needed they are flown in. An occasional jaunt on land to a local restaurant or bar, has little input. The crew will provide more while the yacht is on stand by. Ever watch "Below Deck" TV show? Ignore the drama, that's scripted...
Not worth the deep water dredging & damage required for such large vessel. Exumas have much sandy bottoms in constant motion, channels & marinas need continuous dredging. After damaging a couple of pairs of $10,000 propellers, they opt for deeper Caribbean waters.
Like Cruise Ship's figures, the optics are hollow & false.

Hey plp fnm Politically Elite, use some of that philanthropic contributions you received from Mr. Nygard for testing the conch stored & sold to Common Bahamians at Potters Cay. Simple hydrocarbon test would suffice...

This reminds me of a poster my mother placed on my bedroom wall... "Teenagers, clean up your room first, then the World."
This applies to all those santimonious leaders of all religions, in all countries. i.e.: Practice What You Preach, not only when convenient!

Optics? You are concerned about Optics? Your team should be interested in seeing how the bigger boys resolve issues!! Guess who will be around to maintain & manage the updated infrastructure? You had better be ready! Otherwise it will go back to Shite in no time...
3rd World Mentality where Optics outweigh Opportunities.
