Yes, a Bahamian whose project would not have 1/100th of the economic benefit for the Bahamas and Bahamians as this RCL project. A Bahamian whose project was to benefit a handful of Bahamian investors vs the thousands of Bahamians who will have the opportunity to take part in the wealth creation of the RCL project and own real equity in our tourism project.
Great news for Bahamians, great news for the Bahamas. A fantastic opportunity for Bahamians to leverage the expertise and business of RCI to get their share of the tourism wealth creation in the Bahamas. It’s about time.
Mr. Bowe may have been a great auditor but he is sadly proving to be a rather poor banker. No doubt the board is very concerned as are many shareholders. At the recent AGM, shareholders were so disappointed and disillusioned w poor results and false promises ( waiting 4 years on a share split that has yet to happen) they did not even bother to ask a single question! The pitiful results and failures speak for themselves, no sugar coating or excuses or pie in the sky promises ( $50million net income in 5 years, what a joke) work anymore. How about you attain the goal of $25 million which FBB misses like clockwork before talking nonsense to shareholders about $50mill!? What is the concrete plan for realistically reaching $50mill? Shareholders have yet to see it, only grandiose promises with no basis in facts. During his tenure Fidelity bank is massively underperforming, regularly missing profit targets annually by 20% or more and significantly lagging relative to all other commercial banks who are enjoying record years. Surely baring a massive unexpected turnaround we are in the last days of his tenure at the helm of FBB.
Shameful and disgusting. We all saw what happened and this takes 4 months to investigate? It is plain to see that our immigration department is populated by a group of thugs with no leadership or accountability. Shame on Minister Bell, if he can’t conclude these investigations he needs to resign.
The port is managed by a private company not the government so this will be very different from the straw market. The activity you described will not be allowed by the port, nor should it be.
