The government needs to stay out of those State-Owned Enterprise businesses. Let them make their own decisions. Let them do what it takes to be profitable. Every country that grew and advanced during this generation did so because of a lack of government intervention.
This is a monumental error that will haunt this administration for the duration of its term. This is their Oban. It is estimated that the cost of oil is going up to $150 per barrel. The money will have to be found to keep the lights on. There will be a huge price hike in electricity bills. They should have allowed the board to start the incremental increases now rather than a lump sum later. They are compounding bad decisions on top of bad decisions. This will not end well.
They need to close BAMSI down or turn it over to the University of The Bahamas. It is a total waste of taxpayers' money. It has no vision and is not productive. They need to turn those fields into massive hurricane-resistant greenhouses. Then they need to develop supply chain guarantees with the hotels, restaurants, and food stores.
The government needs to deal with this as a sense of emergency. The baseball stadium and other unnecessary projects can go on hold until this is completed.
While in opposition, the PLP made plenty of noise. It is always easier to oppose than govern. They have also not lived up to some of their campaign promises like the Integrity Bill within 100 days of being the government. Time to stop slapping up and start governing.
