All this does, is ensure that Baha Mar will NOT open in the shortest possible time. And our VAT dollars will be used to create employment guarantee for laid off people. exactly what our spoiled work force needs to feed their sense of entitlement. So tell me PGC: who will serve food to all the Chinese arriving as tourists? Our Bahamian work force that cant even write in English? Baha Mar will become a Chinese colony on our shores. This place will be so cramped with Chinese immigrants that there is no more space for the Haitians. Maybe this Government sees this as progress.
All I can say sheeprunner12 "Good Bye FDI". This is worse than Nicaragua. Helping the thieves (number boys), stealing from the others, and kicking the Constitution with his feet. He really tries to outdo our founding father.
If the PM really intents as quoted by Reuters to take control of Baha Mar, this would be the end of FDI in the Bahamas. If he can take Baha Mar, he can take any smaller asset away from a foreign owner. Bahamas is not better than Argentina, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ecuador, not better and former Soviet territories such as Usbekistan or Azerbeidjan, where the government can walk into your house or shop and take it.
It also shows the blatant disregard for the separation of powers. Our PM has a view of democracy that is right there where Zimbabwe's Mugabe or Nicaragua's Sandinistas have theirs.
Last but not least, he considers to side with the Chinese is the smart thing. That's a decision he is free to make. Whether this is in the interest of the Bahamas, history will tell us. He may get a bronze statue somewhere in a god forsaken corner of Bejing, but certainly not in the Bahamas ever.
that is a ridiculous statement from an office that is part of the executive branch, i.e. NON-political. so we don't know more than before. the 200 BSD fee is levied arbitrarily some have to pay some don't. The real issue is that there has to be a 200 BSD fee in the first place. There will be many court cases coming up with the net result that the 200 BSD will disappear. good luck.
Its not. it is a Westminster dictatorship combined with leaders lacking education and political grace, humbleness and greatness. How many people wanted PLP in charge again? And why do they have the majority in the house?
I agree, Izzy should not disrespect this PM, he should disregard him. This PM is a non-event, and if anything a liability for this country. Cant wait until he gets his own bronze statue. May be next to Mao and the current PM of PR of China, how about on top of Baha Mar, in a size that the good people of Miami can see it on the horizon?

they sell it to the Chinese due to the resemblance on the picture.
