While Minnis might be justified in going the way of a one-off eminent domain scenario, the next owner would want considerable assurances that such a scenario would never happen to them. The same would apply in the case of Baha Mar here on New Providence.
My paternal grandmother (now deceased) would always say: "Watch out for people who always point with their index finger....they have much to hide about themselves and every reason to be very insecure in their own skin!"
Our government is losing millions and millions of dollars every year by either owning or having a majority ownership interest in all of the following:
* A clearing bank - Bank of The Bahamas
* A national airline - Bahamasair
* A national power company - bpl/bec
* a national water & sewerage company - W&SC
* A national TV and radio broadcasting company - Broadcasting Corp, of The Bahamas
* And so on
and now minnis wants our penniless government to get into the high stakes business of hotel ownership in a very big way by having the taxpayers of our country bail-out a loss-making investment made by the hutchison whampoa group which is a highly profitable multi-billion dollar foreign conglomerate with the deepest of pockets. have minnis and his cabinet members gone totally bonkers!!!
The brain drain is caused by the widespread corruption in our society (corrupt politicians, corrupt civil servants, racketeering numbers bosses, etc.) combined with failed law enforcement and a judiciary that is questionable at best. The U.S. is reaping all of the benefits of the nearly $600,000 I invested in my children's education. My children are enjoying their successful careers in the U.S. and happily pay significant Federal and State income taxes. They just did not want to return to the Bahamas after getting their graduate degrees and other professional qualifications. They keep asking me why am I still here!

If the remaining unpaid liquidators' fees amount to $806,000, one can only begin to imagine just how high the overall total fees must have been!!
