Minnis had 4+ years to fix it and did nothing.

The man was and still is, useless. He was a disaster of a prime minister.

The idea was excellent. He stated that it benefited us. He is speaking as the Finance spokes person for the opposition. He is a former min of finance.
When you give a tax holiday you monitor its effect to see if it should be continued.
He needs to give the compelling facts. Insted, he is just running his mouth.

Economist says...

Still no facts to back up his statements.

Economist says...

***"... he did not quantify this and this newspaper has seen no previous economic impact assessment on the initiative’s benefits."***

He is a pathetic excuss for a "finance spokesman". I have never heard him say anything original.

Economist says...

The major problem is that successive Governments have used NIB as a piggy bank. NIB is invested in government buildings, Bahamas Development Bank etc.

The government should fund half the deficit and the public the remainder.

Economist says...

Extra money is not needed. a few years ago the auditor was unable to find where 25% of the money was going in the PHA.

Clean up the PHA and you will find an extra $100 million plus a year. $100 million plus can do a great deal.

Fix the problem, don't through more money at it. If we spend more, very little if any, will be used for health and you will still be crying for money.

Clean up the PHA!

Economist says...

No wonder NIB is going broke. Bad investment policy.

Economist says...

A read of the Plan shows how enclusive the process was. The FNM could have done much better if they had bothered to read it.

I am informed that they were one of the very few few, if not the only ones, who did not participate in its preparation.

Minnis was the leader at the time.

Economist says...

Sheer incompetence.

Waters around Chub Cay are a good deal easier to navigate than, for example those off Rose Island.

If the boat was insured, sure that the insurance company will be asking some probing questions.
