Wow, I have heard that sometimes "you must spend money to make money", but this is just crazy.
More debt begets more debt. Have they no control, borrow, borrow and borrow. This country is going to see a devaluation, this year, if they keep borrowing.
Gee Dr. Minnis what are you wasting time letting "Shame" Gibson take you off the real subject for. Have you never heard of "sticks and stones**.......but names will never hurt me**"
Stop wining and start leading, or let someone else do it.
No birdie the government has an appalling record on transparency. Look at the Rubis report that was kept a secret for 2 years, the McKinsey report that was kept a secret for 14 months so that the persons they are consulting with don't have any information. And all this information is paid for by the public, you and me, and is supposed to be made public in a timely fashion.
Again, the government has failed the people. But then again, most of the "D" average students (and the D is for the few that actually do write the exams) voters won't understand or care.
This country already has a very high number of citizens with health care insurance. What was and is needed is a form of subsidy to those who genuinely can't pay or need additional funds to pay.
Such a scheme would cost considerably less and provide better coverage.
I have seen this with another group. BTC uses its dominant position and delays over and over again until the new guy runs out of money.
URCA is run by the government (since the PLP changed the law so that all URCA income was controlled by the Public Treasury) and so is useless. It helps BTC and does not lookout for the BTC consumer.

The last thing Freeport and it residents need is the government taking over.
Look at East and West Grand Bahama and compare them to Freeport. Government can't run anything.
We may complain about GB Power but it provides much more reliable and cheaper power than money losing, Public Treasury draining BEC did.

Business works on 5 and 10 year business plans. The government works on a new business plan every day which is why the country is so broke.
