"*A portion of the roof that was under construction collapsed,“ Mr Smith said. “But the roof did not collapse because you don’t have a roof until it’s completed, so that portion collapsed.*"
**Is Mr Smith serious? The gold standard of construction is "*if the building falls down but it's not yet complete that doesnt mean anything*"? This should never happen**, not only is it a loss of thousands in materials, labour and time (please tell us how much for all 3) , it is a clear and present danger to workers both construction and otherwise. **This also calls into question every piece of work the "contractor" completed. The files should be pulled and a qualified inspector independent of MOW should immediately review all of his work**. If less than this is done, the minister should be held personally liable should any part of a completed structure anywhere collapse and injure someone.
**What were the inspection points on this work? Please ask a contractor about this**
I dont know the gentleman, he was clearly loved by many people and instrumental in election campaign execution.
What is said of him may well be true, but when we make a claim that someone "*propelled*" development, there must be some objective details that signify the state of affairs before they stepped in and the state of affairs after. "*Ingraham improved the quality of major thoroughfares and opened the airwaves*". Where are those details in this story?
For example, I heard a former housing minister boast about the number of homes they built and how many people they gave jobs to, that's not an accomplishment for a housing minister. If on the other hand a housing minister can boast about a revolutionary change in the oversight of low cost home construction design and maintenance or about being instrumental in getting Pinewood flooding eradicated or a strategic program to have affected households relocated, that could be considered something out of the ordinary and an accomplishment, anything less is "*executing the job assigned*".
**If you have access to a million dollar budget the "*outstanding*" stakes are a little higher. Btw where is the investigation into the island administrator who collected cleanup funds?**
Not necessarily. The real problem over this entire saga is that the SEC appears not to have exercised its obligation to protect the public. They've instead acted like promoters and marketers for the industry, it's very very weird
Just 2 weeks ago I heard another in a slew of very risky investment sales pitches relayed as something anyone could get into. There was no talk of risk assessments or risk profiles, the host just aided the discussion on how *Bahamians could get involved*. These types of advertisements should not be allowed for the general public. And should certainly not be given without stressing the kinds of disposable income that an individual is advised to have to be considering it.
That's the problem with the crypto talk. The idea that its wise for "*anyone*" to get in it. Yes "*anyone*" can granted they have enough money to buy, and there "*could*" be profit, but the risk is 2000 times and has greater significance for the low to middle class worker as opposed to the billionaire in Lyford Cay. Risk is not bad but has to be understood.
The message about types of investment, what's suitable for who and investing what you're prepared to lose in risky investments should be stronger
Every administration to date has treated information as a thing to be hidden and manipulated. And we're talking about information where there is an obligation to share. Is it unpleasant to reveal bad news? Yes. Noone likes to do it especially if it ultimately reflects poorly on them, but in the end the openness itself builds trust. Unravelling a web of misstatements, secrets and at times deceptions does the opposite. Trust is an invaluable commodity for a political organization
