Interestingly, NIB recently said that the contribution pool is decreasing because Bahamians are having less kids. But yet our population is increasing. Assuming a consistent death rate, that would mean that our population is growing - but **not** with Bahamians or people who contribute to NIB.
So... we he says 'we made' who exactly is the we. He can only mean the 'Local Organizing Committee of the 50th carifta Games' because that is the only name he gave other than the Government and the Government invested over $4.4 million into it. Now that the games are over I can only assume that any left over money sitting in the Local Organizing Committee, will be returned to the Government???
Why not do what every other sensible business does and raise salaries instead of creating a whole new allowance scheme? Government really overcomplicates the smallest of issues. Makes you wonder why.
Local government may not be effective but it is a LOT more efficient and honest than central government. If local government got the budgets they need then you would see a whole bunch of MP's switching to run local governments because that's where the money will be. These crooked MP's would soon take over local governments and fill their pockets.
He's just catering to his anti-local government base - like Birdie above. Local government means less power to the power hungry dictatorship that is the plp. all for me baby! That's their motto. Their followers and the general public can all suck eggs while they get super rich. The sad thing is, even though they become super wealthy they can't spend the money locally because there would be too many questions.
And all I see are people driving around with red plates. We must have close to 1,000 cars also handed out to middle managers in government service. Even top management in the private sector and financial centre don't get a company car. This is bonkers.

My family wasn't contacted either. Maybe they do a lot of guessing? Such as... there's a house so let's assume that 4 people live in it?

How do they know the figure of 60%? Maybe it's because they know historically that 60% of their customers don't even get off the ship in port Nassau?
