Mr Christie, wake up and smell the roses, many persons on Eleuthera cannot afford the basic foodstuffs let alone a burglar alarm. Visitors as well are complaining about the extremely high cost of living. As for reduced duty on frozen veg and fruit----no use whatsoever as the merchants on Eleuthera will charge just the same and pocket the profit. Lets face it ,there is no such thing as seven and a half cents in practicality and all the merchants round everything UP.
ho, ho ho, As a long serving teacher the security of the GCSE is compromised daily. Examples subject teachers invigilating their own subject, students caught cheating being declared absent and practical exams being sat on different dates so that in theory a student in Nassau could call a student I Freeport for the questions.
Yes we buy cars and burglar alarms every week on the other hand food is just an impulse purchase. Why audio / visual equip for churches ? How the hell does that reduce our living costs.
In reality much of the equipment was purchased and stored in the unoccupied critical care block .Despite limited access much of it disappeared. How normal.
Be proud and flying the flag is commendable but foreign investment is always necessary and bear in mind BEC has been in total control of itself and run by Bahamians and look at the state of it, same with Bahamasair. The main culprit is not Bahamian ability but continued political interference, year after year and appointment to positions by way of political affiliation rather than ability.
