The new hospital was quoted at around $600 million years ago. How can Government now only guarantee $290 million in financing for New Providence's hospital?
Yadda, yadda, yadda. PM Davis's comments were well-placed and beautifully announced. However, in reality, how much is the new cruise port going to contribute to resolving THE biggest, decades-old, complaint from visitors that Nassau is boring and does not have enough to do?
The new cruise port is without question a major step in the right direction. So not looking a gift horse in the mouth, we still have not addressed the elephant in the room which is, what is being done to resolve the issue of Nassau not offering enough to do as a "major" resort destination. And the even more in-depth question, as the family islands tourism explosion continues, how do we NOT repeat the same mistakes made in Nassau?
If the decades-old, and very well-documented, problem of Nassau being a boring destination is **not reversed quickly** the increased numbers of cruise tourist arrivals will work against us as visitors spread the word that Nassau is not worth visiting, resulting in Nassau falling lower in guest satisfaction polls.
Successive government administrations did not understand the ramifications of losing the Drumbeat Club, Ronnies Rebel Room, King and Knights, Fore and Aft, The Cabaret Show, Dirty Dicks, Down Under, the back room, and so many, many, more nighttime entertainment venues that made Nassau literally come alive after dark as visitors would expect to find in a major Caribbean resort destination.
One of our genius, idiot, politicians as Minister of Tourism started using the term "hotel experience". This is by far the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. No one travels anywhere for a "hotel experience"!
People travel to experience new people and cultures. NO ONE went to any Caribbean destination looking for a "hotel experience".
We simply **CANNOT** expect a resort destination without proper evening entertainment to survive! We are also losing Billions in lost revenue as visitors take disposable income meant for entertainment **back home!**
This is a crisis situation that needs to be forefront in the minds of the government!
Games, smoke and mirrors, and more games! Focal is owned by the Sunshine boys. The Sunshine boys are the PLP and FNM. And the PLP and FMNM are the government.
So the government "pretending" to be against a rate increase and creating a diesel fuel shortage will create just enough pain for the public to give the government justification for a rate increase at the pumps.
The bottom line is FOCAL (the PLP and FNM) facilitates a price increase at the pumps and gets to blame the dealers for the increase in fuel cost!

Environment and Natural Resources Minister Vaughn Miller has risen from the dead.
This self-serving clown had everything to say about natural resources being for the Bahamian people until we voted him in and he obviously accepted a Cabinet seat to shut his mouth!
No, Vaughn, we the people are furious at YOU for taking the bribe like all before you. Time longer than rope and I assure you, we will not forget your treachery!

Sarkis had no chance whatsoever of getting justice in the Bahamas! The PLP and Winder had stacked the cards high as they could get against him!
Unfortunately, the Bahamas is still a backward, corrupt country starting from the top elite politicians and echelons of society.
