10% of $267,000,000 = incentive to hurry this up.

The law doesn't want teeth.
Then they would have to do their jobs, and suffer the retaliations.

Darville is right.
We sellin da land and sea.
We desperately need some educated and moral leaders.
Presently, we have NONE.
Only greedy phat fuks.

Those who represent us make choices everyday.
We are not a poor country.
We fund what we value.
Like politicians traveling the world while the people punish.
It just takes the will to do the right thing.
Why can't we?

I agree completely.

Too many inspectors.
Maybe look to Cuba for our officers.
At least they won't be swayed by their own families and politicians.

How long was our power off last night?
Not enough to qualify for relief, BPL and our representative Lundy?

And shouldn't our own MP, Mr. Lundy, acknowledge that Andros has more than its share of power outages?
Seriously, you don't here about it?

When does a thinking person realize that no politician knows much about anything except bullshitting The People into voting for them?
Not one of these MPs have any expertise in the area they supposedly manage.
What could an MP, a relative of the PM, who sits in the office of the Prime Minister, know about Water & Sewerage? Nothing.
But, we allow these chumps to ride roughshod over these state owned enterprises like they have some minimal qualifications. They don't.
What is more absurd, is how our major media and news outlets, such as The Tribune and the Guardian, with their familial political connections fail to see, or to speak out about the ongoing lack of seriousness, dishonesty and lack of professionalism that exists through the entire ranks of our "leadership" club.
We have failed to hold to account those who are supposedly leading the Bahamian people, while each year the editors and journalists see the numbers and continued decline in our standard of living and the huge amounts of theft, waste, fraud and inefficiency that accompany our Bahamian way of life.
Further, there seems to be a lack of awareness by our editors of the very real consequences of allowing our politicians to continue to take out loans, nearly certainly dooming our kids to a life of economic slavery. The debt servicing is already out of control and the finance experts of our country remain silent to merely keep their jobs, with no pushback from the press.
We wait until things get to a boiling point and then, and only then, ring the alarm.
Where is the shortfall in nipping these issues in the bud, before they become critical flash points?
We love to play the blame game. As if, our own publications and media outlets have not played a major role in giving a pass to our own people who have helped screw this country over for their own political and monetary gain.
Not just BPL, but everything will go up in relation to The People's salaries.
We lack the education and decency, it seems, to lead our nation on an upward course.
I would prefer a proven expert in electrical generation to address The People, rather than a group of power hungry and money loving jokers, such as our home grown politicians.
Why don't we look outside the country for our politicians and technical advisors, instead of for teachers, nurses and doctors?
And, it seems like those in media are a bit too close to the movers and shakers here to present us with the unblemished truth.

The real question, which should come first to our politicians, is: Why does The Bahamas need to bring in foreign teachers, nurses, doctors, at all?
If we are so wracked with debt, that we can't even pay our own people a living wage, perhaps we should ask all MPs to halve their salary so we can get this country back on track?
A true leader, someone who really wants the best for The Bahamas, wouldn't have any objection.
Judging by the photos, many MPs are seemingly overpaid, causing them to over eat.
Adjusting the MPs salaries accordingly would do wonders to the cause of making this country great again.
It almost seems as if many political people think that once they get into office, we the people owe them something, instead of the other way around.
And, judging by the newspaper, perhaps there could be some kind of ethics test.
Obviously, ethics is a foreign word within our parliament.
