From all the reports it appears that the former government gave Hutchison millions for nothing.
After looking how the Chinese have taken advantage at Baha Mar and the Point, both PLP approved investments, this should be a lesson for all us Bahamians that, to do business with the Chinese is to get screwed.
Who do you think controls the distribution of Crown Land??? it sure is not the Queen. Since 1973 it has been Sir Lynden, Hubert I, Perry and now Hubert M.
What about their attitude towards maintenance of their vessels and equipment? If they can't do that and navigate then they are not fit for the challenge to protect our sovereignty. So they can do some pull ups, that is not the challenge.
The Unions persuaded the government to take out, of the Original Labour Bill, the requirement for them to publish their accounts. Publicly held companies have to publish so why not the Unions?
"Mr Bannister on Tuesday admitted that the Department of Physical Planning, the Government’s main planning regulator, was “clearly under-staffed” with “more posts vacant than filled”. He blamed this on salaries that were too low to attract the necessary skilled employees, suggesting this was one factor behind the Government’s difficulty in enforcing the Act."
The PLP hired thousands of additional Civil Servants, yet there are several government departments that are under staffed. Who were the PLP hiring? What did they hire them for?
It is the tax payer who pays the salaries and we need to get something for our money.
FNM government will have to let go the non performers (and we all know that there are a number doing nothing) and hire persons to fill these vital positions.

The only thing the police do is stop speeders, usually on a open road where there is little chance of an accident.
When they stop you they do not look at the condition of your tires, big cause of accidents on a wet road as the car skids at speeds as low as 5 mph.
They don't ticket people for failing to indicate, another big cause of accidents. Never see the police at traffic lights....to much like hard work.
No, they take an easy slack method the get speeders on JFK or GB Highways.....useless!!!
