I know that's what the theory is but I think it's fair to say that decades of practice have shown how bad this system is. As a Minister, the person gets a fat salary to run his/her department. If the Minister has no clue how to do it, what's the point of the position? If our government were a corporation, Ministers would be VPs who would have to have the skill set to do the job.
So Mr. Cooper has the expert knowledge on how to attract foreign investments, deal with all the aspects related to our main industry and understand the aviation business which has razor thin margins on the best of days. - Different day, same crap -
My predictions for the next 12 months: 1) Davis will not decrease VAT or raise minimum wage because he will claim he did not know how bad the financial burden for our country is. 2) We will get a new huge loan but it will have strings attached such as tax increases, expenditure decreases and so on.
“…The day is a 300,000 degree turn from what we experienced last week,” ... carry the 2 ... ... ... that's almost the exact same direction you started from.
It's like every government only ever governs or tries to do good for everybody in the 30 days leading up to an election. Why couldn't Minnis announce this in his first year? Why couldn't the PLP offer free appliances right AFTER they got elected?
Our Central Bank is more than useless, it's a net negative for our country. Our prime rate is 4.25% while the US has a rate of 3.25%. Why? We are pegged to the US Dollar aren't we? Our Central Bank has been partly responsible for our higher cost of living for decades.
