The words "Sensible" and "PLP government should not be allowed in the same sentence. How can anyone with a grain of intelligence trust a single word that comes out of This Prime Minister's mouth? Prepare yourselves Bahamas for one last major screw up before this administration exits in disgrace.
Shane Gibson was right: any overseas investor who wants to invest a sizeable amount in The Bahamas should be psychologically evaluated (for his own sake) I mean he would have to be "a few cents short of a dollar" to be wanting to deal with this administration!
"We shouldn't be making crime a political issue " the PLP now claims! Well we all knew that in 2012 but it didn't stop them erecting those ridiculous billboards. So should we now put up a new billboard with the new record? Bunch of hypocrites!
"The Prime Minister used the BIA’s 40th anniversary banquet on Saturday night to hit out at what he described as the organisation’s, and Mr Komolafe’s, “public relations exercise” on NHI."
Was this really the time and the place for The Prime Minister to get on his soap box and castigate the BIA for doing what it is supposed to be doing? He was the guest of honour at an event intended to celebrate the BIA's 40 year anniversary. Disgraceful behavior by a Premier who ought to understand protocol. The BIA needs to be more careful in future about who it invites to its top table at future celebratory functions.
If BahaMar is liquidated as seems likely would the new owners be allowed to market the resort as BahaMar? Wouldn't Sarkis be able to withhold permission for use of the brand name? In any case the BahaMar brand is now badly damaged and it might be better to open with a fresh identity. Bankruptcy proceedings are complicated at the best of times and we can all agree this will be a complicated and protracted affair. Even December 2016 seems to me to be optimistic in terms of an opening date. If it is broken up into individual ownerships we could get a situation where individual hotels open at different times. The big question for me is: has The Bahamas missed the boat in terms of making this resort a success? The longer the delay the greater the likelihood that potential visitors will be lost to such as Cuba.
PLP = The party that will not accept responsibility for anything. Bell's utterances on crime are indeed shameful but no more than we have come to expect from him and the PLP at large.
