The PLP government has many of our people where it likes to have 'em.......begging for food while nothing meaningful is done to control continuously soaring food prices!! The PLP learned a long time ago that beggars lack self-esteem and are easily controlled by the ruling political elite. The PLP motto for the political ruling class is: keep 'em dumb and begging.
Bingo! The local muck-a-mucks who get the heavily padded contracts to pave our roads and not content getting the contracts but also seek to obtain outrageous profits by cutting corners wherever and whenever they can on these types of projects.
Our roads have not been paved properly for decades which is why they don't last and are in need of re-paving all over again in a few years time. It's the gift that keeps on giving to the right muck-a-mucks who keep getting these inflated government contracts in exchange for their generous kickback contributions to the right political party and its candidates come election time.
For one mile of a two lane road, the average cost to rip up the existing road, properly lay an aggregate foundation, and then tar and pave with asphalt, is about the equivalent of US$1 million at most anywhere else in the Caribbean, and slightly less than that amount in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. Why has our government signed a contract for only a portion of this work at a cost of almost $1.8 million per mile??!!
Simon Wilson, Michael Halkitis and PM Davis are now devising all sorts of schemes for government to steal it from you any way that they possibly can. Bahamians need to rise up with one unified loud voice and say, enough is enough.
For decades now our corrupt politicians have had a "for sale" sign put on The Bahamas as they merrily go about filling their pockets with the proceeds from all the graft associated with their wheeling and dealing with equally corrupt foreign investors. Our nation continues to be sold right from under us.
