As usual no response from the government on supplying boats and extra police but I bet funds for any of Freds overseas trips are sanctioned without delay. Third world governance.
Lack of foresight by sucessive governments to maintain and upgrade has led to this situation. Money squandered on long forgotten, non productive flash in the pan schemes could have been invested in the infrastructure of this country.
Its about time that this and future Governments realised that taxation and high prices are fuelling poverty and for all the bullshit that we hear ,the fact is that whilst most if not all politicians are financially comfortable many Bahamians are very close to the breadline and are running out of options to buy cheap food. Mr Gomez seems to be one of the only politicians who has a grasp on reality and speaks commonsense.
And this is the man who outright lied on ZNS saying school repairs were completed and now says it will be very tight to complete repairs before school opens, and therefore contracts will be hurridly given out without scruitiny .?????
First of all "banker says" would you like to be reminded that BOB is not profitable and gave out many large unsecured, un repayed loans to some Bahamians. What a way of doing business. Secondly I agree that banking here is a joke where we pay massive annual fees for credit cards and RBC charge $10 to cash a cheque on a RBC account in the bank where that account is held. In essence $10 for passing a piece of paper over the counter.
This is the same man who went on ZNS a few weeks ago and stated that all school repairs were almost completed. Furthermore are we not suprised that this country is in such an economic mess that now contracts are being given out without proper scrutiny or evaluation. I see many PLP contractors milking this one.l
Loretta, is articulate, well presented, and firm wheras Minnis just doesn't cut it as a potential prime minister. But unless FNM get their act together and quick the PLP have won the next election .
