This failure of Davies to accept reality and Mr Coopers summation of the PLP election defeat is just what we expect. Mr Davies, your party was riddles with corruption and it would take a book to mention them all.Minnis spoke the truth about getting the financial house in order and this will be distorted by Davies and his followers. The message needs to be clearly conveyed in simple language to the average Bahamian how financially ill this country is. Some points you might want to ponder Mr Davies re "being painted in a corrupt light"
1.First class travel to China several times, first class hotels
2.Fweddy travelling all over the globe, first class and for what ?
3.Our hypocritical minister of education (Fitzgerald) telling students to work hard to getr employment whilst trying to get all the lucrative contracts at BaiMar.
4.Maynard Gibson,(family) having the shops in BahiMar.
5 A geriatric 80+ year old being paid over $450,000 as advisor.
6.Minister in charge of BEC not paying his own electricity bills.
7. Contracts given out to PLP supporters (CHristies own words).No bidding.
8. Private land being purchased for the Government when Crown land is available nearby.
9. Hiring unqualified persons with no meaningful function to simply make the party look good.

The amazing stupidity of some PLP supporters is astounding. There is one hell of a difference in a cost overrun (look at the new American carrier) and having money paid into a US account, or soliciting for all the generous contracts at Bahi mar, or the garbage collection racket or the allocation of most of the stores in Bahamar to a PLP family or lecturing people on how high the cost of electricity is when you don't pay your own bills, or loosing /wasting the countries money on bribes, unnecessary jobs (Baltron Bethel) and finally wasting all the VAT money and creating several generations of young Bahamians to foot the bill.

Painful but commonsense. Drastic cuts have to be made, unfortunately many Bahamians are totally unaware/uneducated or simply cannot understand that government is in effect like running a household budget and you cannot continually spend what you don't have. The effects of not getting fiscal matters under control now will make todays hard times seem like luxury compared to what could and would happen,

Funny you should be so concerned Birdie, I know of cases where government jobs were never advertised and simply passed down from Mother to daughter. PLP family of course. What about the FNM daughters and or families, did they matter ???

So its the "peoples time" ???????? I have to go to A & E, be surrounded by thugs, mentally unstable, aged, sick, dying people and wait for hours waiting to maybe attended by an overworked staff but a wealthy politician who probably had but could well afford private care is given special treatment. ????????????? IStupid Stupid Mr Minnis when every dollar counts or is austerity only for the unwashed masses.

A million more than the PLP would have saved-and remember the national debt was put in place by the PLP.

Sorry for those involved but the blame for the bloated civil staffing and by extension cost to the country must lay firmly in the lap of the PLP who hired all the party followers on a whim.

Why not centralize specialist medical facilities in Nassau and establish a reliable flight transportation service . For all this talk about mini hospitals most serious/complicated procedures will still have to be carried out in Nassau.

Already in excess of 1 million dollars (excluding purchase price of land) has been spent levelling a hill for the new mini hospital in Central Eleuthera. And the work is not finished. Surely it is time to take a stand and cancel / postpone these expensive projects especially as clinics on the island do not have adequate stocks of basic medication.

The law of diminishing returns. You tax the hell out of prospective new car buyers and they seek alternatives.You can buy 6 good condition s/h Japanese cars for the price of an average new American car meaning you can throw them away every 5 years. I know which I would choose.
