If proper maintenance and a proper replacement program was in place this would not have occurred.
There have been more of these disruptions in the last 12 months than normal. The new Government should cause an investigation to be made.

Be assured that this is the standard PLP response which is to try to villify whoever shows the PLP up by doing something good or to deflect the attention from something that the PLP is not doing or ought not be doing.

Get used to it as it will be going on for the next five years.

The secret is to ignore it politely. They can't stand that.

Excellent article Mr. Minns. Of course you did not get anywhere; you were perceived as a threat.

Be assured that most of the Permanent Secretaries have been busy trying hush the Vision 2040 and make sure that it never sees the light of day.

Be assured that most Permanent Secretaries are happy with the current status quo and don't want anything to change.

Be assured that most Permanent Secretaries are not really interested in moving the Country forward, especially if it means the Civil Service will be made accountable for its lazy, careless attitude to the Country's business.

They should bring in a group of accountants from outside The Bahamas and do a truly independent investigation.

Mr. Ambassador, you have provided a jobs program, in The Bahamas, for your many Chinese Citizens. Bahamian Citizens have not benefitted from this, Chinese Citizens have.

Baha Mar opening was seriously delayed by the incompetence of the Chinese Construction. This resulted in many, many Bahamians (about 2,000) losing their jobs and thousands more losing jobs as a result of loss of indirect employment.

In addition The Bahamas got downgraded because Baha Mar did not open when it should have.

Your so called opening was a sham.

This is not how REAL friends treat one another.

Kindly pack your bags and go home.

When will the University hire some real professors?

**“This team, however, will not allow the Free National Movement government to misrepresent or distort the record of achievement of the PLP government; will not compromise our sovereignty as a nation nor will they acquiesce if the FNM government pursues policies or practices that hurt vulnerable Bahamians.”**

Priceless! The PLP record speaks for itself as acknowledged by the voters on the 10th May. There is nothing to distort as it can't be represented worse than it is.

All the PLP has done is compromise the sovereignty of The Bahamas by its reckless abuse of the Public Treasury which has left the Countries sovereignty vulnerable (downgraded to "junk bond" status) as we have to beg to stay afloat financially.

The PLP practices have hurt vulnerable Bahamians more than anyone else can.

Where are the parents of these children? Not just now but when they are doing school work. How much parenting are they getting? How old are the parents?

Much of this is a social issue.

"Speaking to a packed church of FNM supporters, Rev Patterson said the greatest mistake anyone could make was to go against God."

The good Reverend should take his own advice. Oh Church, remember not to accept any donations from anyone who plays numbers. Oh Church, remember to stop all the Sweethearting (adultery) amongst your members, instead of turning a blind eye to it. Oh Church, remember that the reverends do not need flashy cars and all the trappings that you all seem to like so much. Oh Church, do remember to be humble.

You should be familiar with monopolies Birdie.

Remember the 20 year monopoly the PLP Government gave to Heineken for Commonwealth Brewery.

Maybe you you feel that foreigners should get monopolies only.
