No layoffs - no bailout! $120million in unfunded pension. How many f'in employees work there? Based on that figure there must be around 10 thousand people. One must assume that BPL have paid a good portion of the pension plan to date and that only a small portion is outstanding. If this is not the case then there is no way in hell this company should be saved.
What government and BPL has done to the Bahamian people over the years is simply criminal!!!

Awww. Look who's crying now.

BPRA gotta stop puffing up their chests. They now look like cowards with their empty threats. Sofff!

Mandatory abortion for women under 18 and crack addicts and mothers who already have a child and don't have a means to support the one they have.

Why should we respect people who continue to disrespect us and the laws. no more notices!!! If you see it, tear it down!!!

First. Are you sure that the children were actually theirs and not just some prop to take advantage of the situation? Second - how much notice and chances should squatters get? Third - now every time a bulldozer goes into a shanty town the squatters are simply going to hold kids out the windows.

I find it troubling and hilarious at the same time that government misses the fact that BPL can be profitable. Proof is that other companies are willing to buy part or all of it. If BPL couldn't make money then absolutely nobody would be interested.
Now that is cleared up ask yourself how would somebody else come in and make it profitable? They would have to do quite a few things but there are two things for sure that would HAVE to be done. 1) reduce the number of staff. 2) maintain the equipment.
These two things alone may even bring BPL close to break even, and really that's all our government needs to do. An outside owner would certainly look to make a big profit, but as it is state owned our government doesn't need to. They just need to stop BPL from losing money.

Sink All Boats!!

Because of this focus purely on advancing women in The Bahamas, if I didn't live here all my life, I would have to assume that women in The Bahamas were denied access to education and kept out of the commercial banking sector somehow, over the last 30 - 50 years. But we all know that this is not the case. Women in The Bahamas have never been denied an education during that time and have in fact always excelled in school over the boys. Also, many financial institutions and senior management roles in ALL industries are and were held by Bahamian women. Finally, I know that most senior positions in The Bahamas that were/are held by men have NOT been held by Bahamian men, but expat men. So why then is there such a big push to help Bahamian women when it has been Bahamian men that need much more help in our society?

So physical planning says the land is limited to 18 bedrooms maximum but then says it will consider a 30 bedroom development? The lack of clarity, guidance and general ignoring of the rules is sadly not shocking in our corrupt 3rd world country.
