Crazy in that all either side has to do is point a finger at the other side and say "they did it too" and somehow that makes it fine or acceptable. Crazier still we the public accept it!
February20, here we are July 17, no progress. Still clear as mud. Solar panels are duty free under their own heading, Inverters duty free also, What happened to Solar battery Charge controllers? Still at 45%? Weren't they also duty free? good lord.
The Truth can burn, especially if it has been ignored for decades. BTW, What Nair observed in the P.M.'s demeanor is often seen, and half our problem. We ignore all but those who tell us what we want to hear.
You may be right, and you may win, but good luck getting paid! Government does not honor its debts to Bahamians, court ordered or otherwise. Foreigners usually withhold essential supplies and services until paid. What a fiasco, any other "deals" made for a Post Office?
Do not forget the Engineer "hired" to evaluate the Phils site stood to make much money if that site was selected. I smell split milk and sour beans, not withstanding the current site fiasco which all involved aught to have seen coming a mile away.
This BEC/BPL situation has been festering for 40 plus years, so we really need to dig up a few long gone miscreants! The current (no pun intended) crew are clueless and bound over by a political system that couldn't fix a leaky toilet with 3 plumbers and parts on hand. Now we the people get to see the inevitable result of voting along tribal/party lines. 3 score and 10 lived by a political cycle of 5 year lies leaves poverty and destruction in its wake.
So with successive administrations bankrupting the existing pension fund, You are just going to start another and saddle the employers with it? Besides which, the minute ya'll see any money in it you will amend/finagle or otherwise just steal it! (as was done with NIB) BTW, try funding your own insolvent Government Pension fund, without taxing the public for it.
