Nope. No concern for goodwill, building repeat business, nor any other consideration. None of the basics taught in any Business 101 class anywhere.
Clearly, they are destroying this nation and so very few are speaking up.

Being replaced, yes, but not soon enough

Fire every upper manager in BPL tomorrow.
Bring in some non-political, college educated managers from anywhere.
i don't care if they are Bahamian or not.
The job is to perform adequately and honestly in providing reliable electricity for the people of The Bahamas.
Put some people in place who have the professional experience and are not afraid to hire and fire.
For TOO long we have listened to these crappy and lame excuses given to our entire country about the BPL woes.
How many fricking decades can this go on without someone standing up and saying we need new leadership.
Clearly, we nobody capable of solving these problems.
Get this PLP administration out. Please People.
And, get some honest, capable and educated managers in BPL.
Fix the frickin problems. This isn't rocket science.
Why are our MPs flying around the world while their constituents punish in the heat?
Absolute losers, at best.
Stay the hell home and use that money to fix some of our most basic problems.
Is there nobody in Parliament with an ounce of sense?

Yes, we have watched the Family Islands punish in so many ways.
Out of sight, out of mind for these so-called representatives.
They don't care if we are without water, electricity, banking, internet, nor clinics.
They get better themselves and seem unaware of what goes on in the communities they are paid to represent.
The Bahamas has utterly failed Family Islanders.
Failed.

“There is zero doubt, zero reason for concern. We are 100 percent confident in our ability to meet all our obligations under the contract with BPL and the Government.”
Warning: There is no such thing as zero doubt and zero reason for concern here in The Bahamas.
There are zero examples of this being true. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ..................

I don't disagree and I appreciate your response.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing to be gained by listening to the words of any PLP operative, let alone a failure of a "leader" such as Mitchel.
The utter nerve of this (man?) to speak disparagingly of the other political party which is nearly identical to the other worthless political party of this failed state of The Bahamas. Just by virtue of the fact that Mitchel is even in office suggests that this country has little to no future.
Like the US, we have no moral compass, a gang of thieves in political office and nothing but bullshite and lies coming from their mouths.
When Mitchel calls the FNM candidates a "buggy load of recycled rejects" what term could he possibly use for the present PLP administration that he is a member of?
A national (leader) who uses those words is an absolutely disgusting petulant little person who has not the intellect, temperament, nor maturity to lead anyone.
Mr Mitchell said: “The choice is clear - Prime Minister Davis and the PLP are working to create even more meaningful opportunities for Bahamians while Michael Pintard and his failed band of FNMs are shamelessly disorganized and desperate for power. We call on Bahamians to keep them out.”
Certainly, Bahamians can do better than what we've got.
None of these jokers deserve anything from The People.
They are all losers.

This administration cares about how much money they can get into their coffers quickly.
They have no understanding of economics, or business, it seems.
What this is doing is putting additional stress on local businesses, while government politicians who have no education in economics are killing the golden geese. Sure, the government gets those few extra dollars, but at what cost?
Any business person knows the value of repeat business and cultivating a welcoming tourist climate.
The issue, according to those who understand the issue, is the abruptness and rate of increase in these changes and fees.
Don't really need a super smart person to see this.
Just someone who cares about a long-term business strategy for The Bahamas.
Seems we have some really clueless people in the Prime Minister's office and in Parliament.

Mr. Morley,

Go to the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business report.
Find Real Estate Transactions.
Scroll down to The Bahamas.
Where is The Bahamas on this list?
What is the ranking?
And, you are looking at the Bahamian government and Inland Revenue to have a clue?
How many decades have we held our country back by being such losers on this issue?
We do not elevate our best and brightest to leadership positions in The Bahamas.
Is this current PLP administration and their strong-armed Department of Inland Revenue not proof enough for you?
Politics and nepotism trump competency every single time here.
We reap what we sow.
Now, what do we have to show the rest of the world?
A group of people fighting over land, with a government that is utterly clueless.
Yes, or no?

Ms. Wallace, we have:
A government that seems to do everything they can to make it harder and harder to do business in The Bahamas.
A workforce that, as a whole, lacks honesty, timeliness, education, customer service skills, and has poor attitudes and worse work ethics.
The high prices that we see here in The Bahamas are hugely more than the US, not because there is a corresponding shipping cost, and VAT, but because we have an adversarial government and the added costs of wholesale inefficiency, far too much theft and corruption, and very low worker productivity.
None of these things are arguable and have been pointed out over many years by people who can actually go beyond the degrading national politics and overwhelming lack of concern by those in charge here.
What we seem to have in this country is a large group of opportunists, untutored in the basic governing rules of business, as taught in nearly every university in the world.
This is not just criticism. I have spent decades starting and running a number of businesses.
The challenges we face here in The Bahamas to run a business are real, debilitating, and completely counterproductive to raising this country up from the economic crisis we are currently in.
Try this; Go to any Publix supermarket in Florida. Now, when you get home, step into any one of our food stores here in The Bahamas. If you can't see the difference, what more can I say? Talk to any person on the floor of either of these two stores. Now, compare prices.
Ms. Wallace, tell me I'm wrong.
Until we educate our people, raise the bar for honesty for our MPs and government officials, and radically change our negative attitudes, we will see nothing but accelerating failure.
A few years ago, we all witnessed what BahaMar could have become with a visionary, honest, and educated person at the helm. Mr. Izmirlian unquestionably had the best interests of this country at heart.
How did The Bahamas treat him?
Why would any decent business person ever want to do business here?
Seriously!
