the messenger is absolutely right. Having worked at a government clinic firstly many of the 52 week employees were often related to staff. Secondly some not all are there simply for the pay check. First hand I have witnessed several of the 5 employees sit in the staffroom glued to their phones whilst janitorial staff twice/three times their age would help[ unload medical supplies from a truck. Turn up late, go home early, complain about getting their hands dirty but no problem collecting their pay check. A waste of public money and to be fair, they often have no skills and furthermore there is little continual work for them to do.

Are uou for real. Any more downgrades from Moodys and devaluation is a real risk. So instead of $6.72 for a box of cornflakes you will pay $6.60. Big deal, meanwhile there is a bigger picture of a growing national debt which HAS to be repaid. So please explain where the 2% missing revenue will come from.

Love the keyboard warriors like yourself who obviously have all the answers. Lets see, Minnis had a devastating hurricane but of course under the PLP it would not have happened, then a worldwode pandemic which minds far brighter than you or I struggle to solve/ contain and incur huge national debts. Of course the PLP would have completely contained this virus at no cost to the country whilst enduring that tourist arrivals remained the same as pre covid. Minnis may not be perfect and in hindsight may have dome somethings different but if you believe Brave Davies would have the majic answer you are deluded.

What makes me laugh is the ongoing debate about reducing carbon emissions, coming from the likes of Meghan Markle , Borris Jonhson and a host of other assorted people is that the common middle and lower class are supposed to bear the brunt of all these changes whilst the likes of world leaders prince Harry ,CEO's and film stars continues on their merry way with private jets, A/C on all day or gas heating on all day in cold climates, buying an electric car and so on. When the rich stop emitting their vast amounts of carbon and live like me then I will adjust my lifestyle.

Stop talking bullshit. You have been independant for over 25 years with your own predominantly black government. Stop blaming others, white / black Bahamians, Brits, Americans and uncle tom cobbly for your own failures. Year after year people like you blame it on racist lies, mind you more than happy to get help from forieners for aid with vaccines, hurricane assistance, stadiums etc etc

The gravy train has started. How the hell an this new government hope to drag the economy out of deep economic debt by increasing the civil servant wage bill. Still the old faithfull will not care that some are managing on $5 -6000 per annum.

So true

Sorry but a dumb reply. This vaccine is not brand new but developed from work done on Ebola and Sars vaccines..Of course science did this as it did in polio, diptheria, rabies, HIV smallpox vacicnes etc etc. Correct it does not stop you getting covid nor stopping you passing it on , BUT it does prevent in almost all cases hospitilization for severe symptoms and more importantly intensive care.. The media including Facebook, Twitter, newspapers etc have given free range for so many false, misleading and plain scaremongering. .People need to take responsibility for their choices and not expect to jepordise the health, safety and livelihood because they want the rules changed.

Like the Laptops sent for HOD' in government High Schools, half of which disappeared with the teachers you can be sure that any warehouse will be stocked using a PLP supplier and much of it will go "missing" before it even gets to those that need it. Nothing new as cronyism and inefficiency go hand in hand with all governments.

If we as citizens ran our finances like government ministers we would all be bankrupt in no time.
The PLP has no magic covid wand and cannot force people to be vaccinated. As for new hospitals and lowering taxes with a GDP debt of 80%, downgrading by Moodys just where will all this money come from. Politicians tell you what the public want to hear then get in power and reality hits home.. Bet you there will be no new hospitals built. How about paying for patient care at private clinics like the one in Palmetto Point which has clean modern facilities, emergency generator (that works) and several items of modern equipment. Got to be cheaper than building new family island cliinics that will suffer from lack of maintenance, equipment that is damaged, broken or not maintained.
