Actually he should have his team assembled at least two years prior to the elections. They should be strategizing and prepping themselves so they can articulate a well thought out plan for moving the Bahamas forward.
I hope that Bran will have formidable candidates for his party during the next election. The Bahamian electorate waking up and realizing that the PLP and FNM are not viable solutions is just as important. It's time for people to vote for the best candidate and not along party lines. I really wish that The constituency boundaries would be made official at least 1 year prior to the call of election. This would allow candidates to work in the communities they want to represent. Work as in presenting meaningful solutions for the constituency and implementing plans. Please establish debates between candidates (not just party leaders) so that persons can have a better idea of what each candidate is bringing to the table. The debates don't have to be nationally televised causing an overkill. Several debates should be held simultaneously and in churches, hopefully reducing the opportunity for them to turn into a fiasco.
Actually CWC has controlling shares as well because they did not transfer the full 2%.Which means that their total shares are slightly greater than the 49% that the government owns.
*"He spoke after the Prime Minister’s announcement that slightly less than two per cent of BTC had been transferred to a new foundation which would benefit Bahamians."*
The foundation owns 2% and does not have voting rights. The foundation is just a vehicle to donate funds instead of BTC. BTC wins because the still control the company and they don't have to donate directly from the company which means they will have better net profits. Don't understand take a quick course in finance.
The trust is a separate entity, therefore the government does not have controlling share holder interest. I still don't understand why you see it as a victory for the government. CWC still controls the day to day operations of the company.
