How to introduce a new tax called VAT, collect a large amount of additional revenue, and then waste it all for personal political gain on corrupt programs like NHI.

But that is what keeping your majority at grade "D" can do for you.

As long as the Public Health Authority is allowed to continue in its inefficient way we never be able to pay for proper health.

If the PHA was run properly there would be no need for NHI.

All that NHI does is provide for more waste.

The government is hell bent on bringing The Bahamas to its knees. This entire NHI is an economic disaster waiting to happen.

When the country is broke ( not too far away now) there will be no more money to provide even the medical services provided today.

Does Mr. Bowe also consider the high price of electricity caused by years of governments support an over staffed very inefficient corporation?
What about the rent for the shop and the up keep of the shop, a shop with few customers because the government has always ignored the infrastructure that is needed to spur development.
And why is Mr. Bowe not complaining about the poor productivity of Bahamian labour that causes costs to be high.

And last of all theft. That has to be figured into the cost as well.

Mr. Bowe is someone who has been given a job by government. I wonder what job he would have been able to get if he had gone to work in the private sector?

Is that why he as a government job?

A good economy breads better education and higher living standards. Those combined go a long way to reducing a teenage having multiple children.

I agree, immigration has very little to do with it. Why do some of us refuse to take responsibility by trying to blame it on some foreigner, pathetic.

Well done Police . May you both, and the woman who lived in the house, have a speedy recovery.

Finally, well done KPT. You actually said something that got under the governments skin, finally did your job as a member of the opposition.

You struck a nerve because they knew what you were saying was true. Good Job!

What he is saying is that the NHI is a way to force Bahamians to use the Bahamian doctors for everything.

More money in his pocket. He is not concerned about the quality of the care.

"All for me baby."

"the Grand Bahama Investment Incentives Bill will allow in excess of a half a billion dollars to be injected into the Grand Bahama economy."

All this means is that the Government has caved into pressure from Hutchison. Hutchison will not start the Container expansion until the Government formally agrees not to charge them Real Property Tax.

He would have little work if the Government, Government Corporations and Members of Parliament abided by the law. It really says something about our institutions.
