What planet is this man on. There was not going to be any turn around. The Container Port had yet to take any meaningful action on its expansion and the rest of the MOU was of no effect.
The only way Freeport will get going is for the people themselves to take matters into their own hands and cause things to happen.
All that has been going on in NEMA is politics. NEMA is restricting the relief effort as everything has to be approved by them first. It is like hooking an 8" pipe to a 2" pipe, bingo the flow is restricted.
Also PM the legislation that you passed in 2008 calls for plans to be discussed with the public. I know that can't be done because that would require transparency. But that is the law.
John, I wish it were not so , but the Billion dollars will not stay in the country, that is the problem. In addition NEMA is like a 2 inch water pipe hooked up to an 8 inch water pipe, it will restrict the flow to a trickle.
GB Power please note that within three days **BPL had restored 20% of their customers and they expect to have 70% restored in the next three days. That is 7 to 10 days after the storm.**
So GB Power you are expected to do better than that as you have had three other hurricanes to learn what you needed to do. No delays like after Frances.
Rumor has it that you have said that it could take upwards of three or maybe even four months. Please allay peoples fear and show us that you are not a bunch of incompetents who should be replaced by BPL.
Very few Bahamians are practicing Christians. Most go to church but very, very few are real Christians. Look at the number of children born out of wedlock, all the sweet hearting.
I don't know which country you are referring to but it is not the corrupt (millions stolen from taxpayers by civil servants - read the audits).

With NEMA controlling almost everything now it is more difficult to get materials in quickly. NEMA is a major road block to a quick recovery.

If the 2005 radar was not operational why over reach with many radars?
If the systems are not maintained then the expense is wasted.
Why not keep it as simple and as easy to maintain as possible?

The Minister talked about price gouging, of which there was very little, and made no mention of all the looting, of which there has been a lot.
So he is saying that a lot of looting is better than a little price gouging, interesting.
