How about becoming a colony again ? Lets face it throw Minnis out and you have Fweddy and his bunnch of finacially incompetant idiots back on the gravy train.

Thisissours, not even the most competant CEO can ovetcome ancient generaors without cash reserves to replace them. Old attitude of those in power - if it runs howver bad leave it alone and waste the cash on wasteful projects.

Protocol my backside. In nighttime emergency flights from the family islands, permission has to be given from Nassau to authorize the turning on of lights and then someone has to go and switch them on. By the time that happens the plane would be down.

This is the result of years of poor management and political interference resulting in a "its running so lets ignore it" attitude. Look in a Bahamian dictionary and the word "maintenance" is probably missing . A side effect not mentioned is that yes you give relief in the form of a zero VAT levied on bills of 300 BUT shops with freezers and other suppliers have to increase costs because they certainly can't keep below 300.00.

Point taken but any government should take steps to even the economic playing field and make home grown products more affordable. Lower costs equal lower prices which equal better sales and more jobs.

I love it-Fred telling this government to live up to its commitments. PLP squandered money left right and center and just one of Freds money wasting trips could have kept this center going for a year at least. On the flip side yes the government should pay u.

Everybody seems to blame the politicians but the real lousy culprits are the BDF Commodore and supervising officers. Like Education and Medical all these managerial persons only shine on a sunny day,dressed up in public and having public praise heaped upon them,

Stop talking nonsense.Kalik has always been overpriced and the fact that it is cheaper in the USA than at home is typical of Bahamian rip off economics..

Excuses, excuses absolutely bloody disgrace. One excuse , shortage of gas-can you believe it?
Instead of accepting that they did a lousy half hearted job the commodore should take responsibility and court marshall those involved, and a commission of enquiry should be held into all aspects, after all short of gas this time (which is beyond belief) could affect any future emergency if not corrected. What sort of officers do we have leading this force ?

Typical, government agencies who cannot provide or carry out their mandate yet critisize others.
