Boy these Bahamians make me laugh. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Keep this same attitude and when the 49% equity in this money maker is offered to all Bahamians ( like the Nassau cruise port offering) take a pass and leave more for me and the other Bahamians who have sense and want to take part in the wealth creation of our bahamaland😉
My understanding is that the land will be sold, hence Bahamians owning 49%. Seems much better than the 150 year lease with only peanuts annual fee Minnis had negotiated. PLP deserve credit on this one. Should be a share offering offered to all Bahamians and filled from the bottom up.
We have a failed judicial system in the Bahamas. Everyone knows this particularly the family of murder victims. So street justice rectifies this problem and exacts justice in a final brutal way. It’s not perfect but it probably prevents a great many murders too. It may even be a net benefit for society, removing hardened killers from the street when the court refuses to do so.
All he talks about is increasing income, what about reducing expenses? Let all employees of NIB take a 10% salary reduction, management 20%. Reduce and eliminate all these consultants, many political appointees drawing high salaries. In the Bahamas 23% of NIB contributions go to run the fund, in Jamaica it is 6% and Barbados 3%. Stop wasting our pension money and cut the fat instead of asking poor Bahamians to pay more!
I hear a lot of equivocation and dubious justification for what is a very bad projection miss. As a shareholder I am not happy, not happy at all with this massive miss. How can Mr. Bowe be off 20% from a projection that mid year he affirmed and assured shareholders was still on track for $25 million? Perhaps if he spent more time on the affairs of Fidelity instead of every other day opining about everything under the sun in the media Fidelity would have met projections. And not a breath about the share split he assured shareholders would take place last year. Not a word. He is rapidly losing credibility.
I don’t believe or support 5% of what Lincoln Bain believes in but I am very grateful for him. He is offering a tremendous service to the nation by challenging the status quo and trying to hold the government accountable to the people.
