People love to hate on Fred, but fail to realize he is one lawyer taking on all the constitutional cases and public interest cases that none of the other gazillion Bahamian lawyers will touch. Very telling. Keep trucking Fred, Keep reminding them that rule of law trumps (no pun intended) personal power or political persecution.
Cost effective low income housing has been a dismal failure since Pindlings day. Remember the round houses on Harrold road? Let's face it, government cannot do anything properly, never mind cost effectively.
What a waste of time. I just hope whomever is elected actually acts like a government instead of a Port Authority lap dancer. Pathetic haw fast they fall and fawn over the slumlords.
At the end of the day, My asset is destroyed. I file the claim, i get the money. I am free to do what i wish with the payout. rebuild, relocate, whatever. Insofar as Freeport is concerned, there is the onus on the port authority to develop, market, promote. Hutchinson was allowed to invest at the hand of Hubert Ingraham. He had no clue from day one what he was allowing. But no government to date has a) acted like a government, b) held the principals of the Port Authority to account or c) even understood its value or importance to the country. A value that has grown beyond Wallace Groves original vision. Of greatest concern is if the PLP once re-elected may decide to re-instate the abomination and abrogation of the H.C.A. they attempted in their last term. More kiss ass from Government fawning over the port Authority ownership/executive. As forrest Gump would say, " stupid is as stupid does" No wonder we cannot buy a break in G.B., we have idiots negotiating with imbeciles.
Big deal about a standard practice every where else in the world. N.D.A's, Confidentiality agreements, no competes, ho hum. None of which exist in government incidentally.
The private sector needs to be bold, not the Public sector. Whatever they spend puts us deeper in the hole, with no value for money at their $500/sq ft construction costs. The private sector needs to treat Government as the necessary evil/unwanted encumbrance it is. Ride roughshod over their useless carcasses. Stop looking to the Government or political leadership of the day, show them the way. Do something bold.
