Read the PLP constitution. First order of the day "remain in power".

They have always done that at any cost. They do not care about the people just keeping themselves in power. Davis waste of money is clear evidence of the PLP thought process for governing the country.

Economist says...

Who says that they do not meet the criteria?

Economist says...

Yes they know, but they want to see KPT working to fix the problem.

If they see him wasting time, on the PLP, it will leave them nervous that he is not up to the job of fixing the problem.

Economist says...

Very good article.

Economist says...

It is required by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization.

It sets bench mark standards that are designed to reduce the threat of a terrorist act, domestic or international.

It also classifies runways, air navigation etc. In other words it is the safety standard bureau recognized all over the world. If The Bahamas did not follow them, even for domestic flight, it could be down graded with the result that not international airlines would fly here and no Bahamian airline would be able to fly to international destinations.

No country would want their citizens flying in a country that does not practice these standards.

The problem is that the demand is under legislation enacted to deal with "terrorism" so is not proper or lawful.

If they want this information they should do it lawfully.

Economist says...

For a person to be investigated someone has to file a complaint against that person.

It requires that person to stand up like a real adult and make the complaint.

Too often we complain and say things about people, which we know about first hand but are to scared to make the complaint. When we fail to make the complaint the person gets away with whatever they did.

If you know an FNM who has wronged you then go and make the complaint.

Let's take the politics out of this and you will see that what Sir Frankie is saying makes sense.

We all know that the PLP messed up. Let the police do their investigations and the DPM go about fixing the problem. We don't need the DPM to be wasting his time on the PLP.

The DPM is a smart man and we look to him for the solutions, as do the Rating agencies.

So the property is supposed to have 2,000 rooms.

Of the 2,000 rooms 800 are available for rent and 50% of the 800 are occupied or 400 rooms or 20% of the property. So for the year they might hit Min. D'Aguilar's estimate of 25%.

Economist says...

Agreed.
