Define "Emergency"
By definition, Government is a "natural disaster" and always has been.

The PLP would hav promised all the above, but never delivered.
Besides, no money left, aside Chinese loans.
Fred can drivel on all he wants, and unless Brave is gonna fund the above with nin I mean his $$........
No, the bitter pill we are all forced to swallow is the PLP and FNM 50 year legacy of incompetence and avarice.

Used to be people were recognized for actual accomplishments,
not for proposing more hole digging.
They'd sink the boat and want a statue or monument!
The % is irrelevant, like VAT can be increased at will.
A sink hole is a sink hole......

We all have a horse in WTO whether we like it or not:
Our successive Governments have been in this process since 2001.
However, every other country has teams of private sector people working on their positions, with WTO, IMF, and EU funding,
We have had maybe 12 Government people at best in years prior but got cut down to 2 as too much information was getting out into the private sector. Go Figure.
Government Consultations are anything but, as they tell you point blank "we cannot reveal to much as we don't want to tip our hand with the other nations."
Mostly they don't even know what to present. WTO for pre-schoolers level presentations.
Meanwhile having borrowed an average of $50Mil every year for the past 50 so we are in an incredibly weak position.

Government ministers "blow" anything they touch to bits!
Name one Government function that runs properly.
Can't even run a simple post office. Can't maintain a single building or monument.
Can't handle money. Inserts itself into everything and kills it all dead.

None of this, including the first Go Fund Me will end well.
Business=risk, whether calculated or foolish.

Private collection agency with "teeth"?
Is he saying the Government has no teeth?

shine the light, the rats and roaches scurry for cover.
That the festival was ill conceived is not in dispute, that the typical Bahamian palm greasing occurred is probable.
The "documentary's" were made to sensationalize the debacle, and it worked.

And the wrecked cars still come in with no problem from the U.S. auctions, to be welded together to make one good car, until it comes apart at speed.
Meanwhile,
"Bahamas Bureau of Standards and Quality (BBSQ) Director Dr Renae Bufford said: “We don’t have the testing facilities in place for that, and we trust and pray that there isn’t."
Hell of a way to run a standards dept. Maybe go buy a geiger counter?
Cheap enough. Easy to use. Get one on Amazon!

More bureaucracy when they couldn't even run the simple processes of yesterday.
Post office operational yet?
