deputy Prime Minister K Peter Turnquest is definitely on the right track. However, the current path of thinking about implementing charges for garbage collection is a total non-starter. Firstly, due to the fact that too many are either unemployed or under employed and simply cannot afford to pay for the service even if they wanted to.
We need to start thinking out of the box if we intend on making waste collection more financially efficient.
One possible solution is to reduce the overall cost of garbage collection by simply reducing the frequency of collections by implementing residential communal garbage collection instead of the daily or weekly high labor intensive house to house garbage collection method now used.
This can be easily achieved, especially in high volume inner city areas by positioning large refuse bins in available & convenient locations in neighborhoods.
The thought is for the government to acquire or lease empty lots and/or available locations to be used for the positioning of these large refuse collection bins and have people deposit/deliver their waste/refuse to a central location. This would enable residents to not only dispose of household garbage but would also encourage them to dispose of larger unsightly items which they normally have no affordable alternative method of getting rid of.
Based on the volume of waste deposited in bins of a particular area, the cost of waste collection would then be dramatically reduced as the reduced frequency of collections would now also be reduced, as the large bins would only need to be removed/replaced when filled.
When will government begin dealing with the fact that all of these illegals have collaborating Haitian or Bahamian sponsors, relatives, or friends in the Bahamas organizing these smuggling operations?
Before repatriating illegals, these people should be interrogated to identify who the receiving parties were to be so we can charge them with illegal human smuggling!
PM Dr. Minnis is unquestionably on the right track. After 50 years of asinine political stupidity, and unprecedented massive corruption, PM Minnis is forced to "very carefully" making an 180-degree turn!
PM Minnis actually has no choice but to align the Bahamas with new global norms in the pursuit of addressing endemic corruption if he is serious about restoring FDI and rating agencies confidence.
*Righting* of the countries economic trajectory and addressing corruption will indeed be an extremely painful process for many people. However, necessary.
PM Dr. Hubert Minnis invitation for Philip Brave Davis to "call the police" will **NEVER** happen!
"Brave" is not fool enough to call the cops knowing full well they're itching to find a reason to carry his backside for questioning anyway...LOL...Lol.
This is a very defining moment for "Brave"! He needs to consult with Christie, Roberts, Mitchell, Gomez, and Munroe then **call the police!**
Let's see if Davis is really "Brave" or just**" fool"**.... Go on Phil, call the police.....PM Minnis called your bluff and the electorate dares you to prove him wrong.
Fox Hill prison is especially lovely this time of year.....Lol!!!
