Absolute gibberish. Lost all respect for Mr. Gomez when he failed to deliver on his pledge a long time ago. He is now a poster child for this " promise everything and deliver nothing" government. He should just resign as he tried to do several times and go back into private practice, his time in government has been an abject failure, and his word is worthless.
Yes, and start with the general manager of BEC in Long Island who uses BEC' s large truck to launch his 30 foot yacht and leaves the vehicle parked on the ramp so no one else can use it untill he comes back. BEC employees with 100 % company funded pensions and healthcare have raped this country blind.
We have simply traded in white colonial masters for corrupt black slave masters ( FNM and PLP) under the guise of democracy. Make no mistake you are not free and this government never wants you to be independent or self sufficient. They want you to continue to come on your knees at the table while they eat and beg for some crumbs. " Chairman Miller please turn on my power, my son needs a job." Meanwhile he owes hundred of thousands in outstanding bills. In any civilized country he would have been fired and hung his head in shame. While 7000 Bahamian households are without power ! Because BEC is inefficient and run under patronage to buy votes, and archaic and vision less. This country should encourage and give subsidies for renewable energy, not hinder at every step a person's initiative to free themselves and this country from fossil fuels.
WTF, how dumb are these idiots. First it was illegal to have solar power, then solar panels, inverters are duty free, and net metering is coming and encouraged. Now these systems must be disconnected ! Are these clowns serious. There is a business in Nassau with over 600 panels on their roof and I can not have 12 ? Meanwhile the prime minster runs his house from solar panels. These visonless, selfish, hypocrites need to go. Until these neo-colonial dinosaur wannabes are deposed this country has a bleak future.
We are a society of lawlessness and corruption personified in our government and present prime minister who blatantly refuse to comply with a Supreme Court order. This is a crime, and those officials are criminals and should be incarcerated as such. Our prime minister should be held in contempt of court until this order is complied with. How is there one law for some Bahamians and not for others?
You appear to be uniformed. I did some research and for RBC they do process cheques for non- clients and the fee is $5. Double what it is in the Bahamas. So yes we are being charged 100 % more for the same service in the Bahamas as in Canada.
Customers need to be proactive and assertive it is the only language the banks understand. There is a price war going on between local banks for very well qualified mortgage holders. This is especially true with firstcaribbean, scotia bank, and finco. I recently went to firstcaribbean and told them I wanted my mortgage reduced otherwise I was moving it to another bank. There was no argument or hard sell, two days later they confirmed that they would reduce the mortgage 2%. Did not even have to go to another bank and present them with a counteroffer. Saved several tens of thousands over the lifetime of the mortgage! If you are a great customer you have a lot of leverage, threaten the banks and save thousands.
The new fees of these Canadian banks are evil. They fall disproportionately on the poor. Do you think for one moment that RBC charges these fees in Canada? Of course not. The central bank is failing in their fiduciary duty to regulate these fees. They should mandate that these Canadian banks can not charge any fee that is not also charged in Canada. Why gouge us as second class clients? It is simple, every fee is 100% profit and in an environment of a huge portfolio of non performing loans, increased taxes, and no oversight by the central bank to protect vulnerable Bahamians it will get worse. Central bank get your act together and regulate these rapacious, predatory banks.
