First the Agreement between Govt and Port must be unravelled, do not forget it included "One Stop Shop"for licensing and a Government seat on the Port board. Who knows what else. For "one stop" licensing, (a redundant concept that already existed with the Port, until Ingraham wrested Port Authority control from them and re-inserted Government, in defiance of a court case ruling!)
PLP's following the US democrat lead: Can't accept the results, attack attack, attack! Deny, Deny Deny. Invent Conspiracy theories ad hock, something will stick! Counter productive. Move on. Work with what you have until proven to be just as bad. Let's face it, the PLP is the poster child for how not to do anything!
Other hidden deal lies behind the Dis-incentives act, Between Govt and Port. Govt got "permission" to have a cruise ship port, the port gave up their exclusivity on ports in GB. and got a 20 year blanket Tax exemption. What else?
Ok, but realize the civil service has developed its own arbitrary rules and regs, and has in some cases granted itself say so /no powers. Endemic to a PLP structured system of micromanagement it has to also be corrected by a re-assertion of the proper rule of law. Economic deterrence happens at every level. Also, would it be too unreasonable for Government to cross reference depts internally when digging for moneys owed by applicants for whatever is applied for? To make people run around seeking compliance certificates when a simply system wide query would do..........I half expected DNA and blood samples to be required by road traffic in their latest upgrade fiasco!
Yes, but also lets find out what the Government /Port Authority "Tit for Tat" deal was, as Hutch and the Port were blanket exempted, and probably in return for giving up Port operations Exclusivity on the Island of G.B. It should be noted the Port effectively "threw their licensees under the bus" on this deal. Not surprising behavior from the current misfits but a disgraceful move nonetheless. Perhaps it is time for Clause 4...... the right way to devolve the "Authority" away from the Port Authority.
One major "blame" this new FNM government can avoid is "unveiling" all of the commitments made to foreign Governments and entities like the imf, wto, oecd, eu-epa, the Chinese by both former government administrations. Information on these timeline commitments went dark under the last FNM government, and remained there under the PLP. Bahamians need to understand, voting them out does leave permanent garbage and bills, to be paid, commitments to be honored. While the PLP Tiefing legacy is most raw, most in your face, the real legacy that will condemn them all is their foreign skullduggery hidden from the Bahamian people.
“the money of foreign interests,” the “turn of clever phrases” and the manipulation of “a population suffering from the ill-effects of the economic recession” sounds like he has revealed the PLP playbook. Foreign interests as in a foreign Government! Wholesale! And why shouldn't FNM supporters believe their parties Propaganda? It is what PLP's are expected to do whole heartedly, blindly, the difference of course being content and the truth! As to needing professionals, uh, you had those, it didn't help. Who saves a rotten apple, rotten to the core? You throw it away, and think twice before buying them again! All this drivel reinforces the appearances of a deluded individual, one who believes his own propaganda! Delusions of grandeur in the extreme.
“I said from the beginning that the hate for Christie was strong in the country, much stronger than the people’s dislike for Dr Hubert Minnis"
Hate? No, contempt for the arrogance, and the thievery going on under his nose or worse, with his consent. Now, to business at hand, will you now, Ordinary Pot Cake citizen, please pay your power bill? and any other taxes you owe? Plus interest please.
Funny how we clamor for Personality over content. Perhaps this result is an indication of change in that regard. I believe Minnis will show content, and allow the content of all others to shine. Appointing Moncur was I believe a "woman scorned" move. Had to be. No other logical explanation. A feminist appointing a misogynist? Good grief.
The FNM probably aught to Give LBT a medal for wiping the DNA off the Map ! That was an insane move, tainted with megalomania, or delusions of grandeur. That Bran fell for it......Dude, what were you thinking? And that other clown appointed, Wow.
