Start with head of National Insurance in Governors Harbour-no experience -appointed above long serving experienced employees. Disgusting.

Sheeprunner, maybe you should put this accurate information on picture cards like they do for Trump, because they are so incompetent that they couldn't get drunk in a free liquor store. They used the VAT money like a free money pot with no thought to the national debt or any potential national disaster and now the FNM has to try and salvage the situation. There should always have been a disaster fund set aside, but there again "its easy to piss away money " so says Christie.

Unfortunately if this country is to ever get out of debt the government and the population are going to have to make some drastic changes. Funny how the Bahamasair staff in Central Eleuthera are on limited time due to lack of flights but the old airport manager not only retires but gets another job with Bahamasair in Nassau. This seems to be a created position for a party loyalist and not necessary. How many times is this repeated over the entire Bahamas.

Only works if prices are monitored. Here on Family islands prices never go down and any savings on transportation costs etc just add to the merchants bottom line. We need price control inspectors on the islands who cannot be bought off.

So true. How about the long serving boss of Bahamasair in Eleuthera retiring and then being rehired in Nassau ? How about all the ex BUT presidents who after leaving that post were hired as consultants in the Ministry of Education. How about the Director of education already enjoying an extra 2 years after the retirement age now wants another 2 years ? Careers are like escalators -young should enter at the bottom and at 65 the old retire and then everyone moves up a notch. But under the corrupt PLP there was no chance as the top jobs became permanent almost until death.

There is so much corruption and political favoritism to sort out that it is unreasonable to expect Minnis to do everything in a couple of weeks. God knows that when you start a new job it takes time to get settled in. This is a positive step and should, be applauded. B. Bethel was a leech and he anf many other cost this country a small fortune.

So true. Why make flowers rich when a national lottery could benefit the whole country.

Always said that there were not sufficient funds for NHI yet despite an urgent need to cut costs the previous government made promises they couldn't keep. And gullible Bahamians still believe there is a pot of gold to fulfill these grandiose schemes. Despite Exuma "mini hospital" never opening work still goes on in Palmetto Point day after day ripping the land to make it even possible to start work on the so called "mini hospital". There is something very wrong with many of our people who demand shiny new things that cannot be afforded and even worse cannot be maintained or operated properly. I am sure Eleuthera is just one example of many but the time has come to say lets refurbish what we have, after all as a responsible citizen I am expected to live within my means. But again look at many of my fellow countrymen and women, brand new shiny car but house in desperate need of repair and struggling to pay for the necessities of life. That is the government in a nutshell.

It has to happen, no promises, no pontificating. Lets start by getting rid of Baltron Bethel, all the ex BUT presidents who automatically get jobs in the Ministry, how about Bahamasair managers who retire then get another job in Nassau working for Bahamasair?. The government has to come clean and transparent on the countries finances, and start firing all those so called consultants and persons getting two pensions and a salary.

I can only assume that you make these stupid comments to get a reaction because nothing that you say makes sense.I do believe that in addition to VAT and all the other taxes the PLP borrowed millions. I do believe that as an election ploy they suddenly promised to give the police the back pay. Now I could be wrong but in your little world the FNM are damned if they give the rise and damned if they don't.
