I still do not understand how all the assets of BEC understated at 100m (BTC sold for 300m more than 10years ago) could be handed over to a company without a dime to their name, they use excessively inflated pricing to generate revenue from the Bahamian public then tell us we have to buy the company back

I'm still wondering if FOCOL was in serious financial trouble. No way of knowing but their infrastructure was failing on multiple occasions, multiple locations with their seeming inability to respond to the environmental disaster in a timely fashion sometimes not at all, the Abaco **disaster** was left for months until every drop had leaked from the storage tank. Then their fine for one of these breeches was a secret, who knows if they paid more than a dollar. Nothing on the fines for the breech in Abaco or any information from Vaugn Miller. A d after all this the govt claims they trusted theyd be best for the energy grid

What a climate disaster Brave Davis' administration has turned out to be

Sounds like CIBC has issues beyond card pickup.

This is easily fixable

Why is an honour being given for someone selling imitation goods from China?? Unless the honour is being given for someone maintaining bahamian culture through continuous sales of bahamian made crafts and original straw work.

Anyway these awards all boil down to popularity contests. So I guess...

"*I laughed at Slimy Fwreddy Boy saying "the internet doesn’t work here" *

That did stand out. When sitting govt ministers attempting to take populist stands act as if they're set upon and powerless to do anything. Last week Brave Davis was telling Caricom leaders, ~"*we must stop indiscriminate destruction of land*".

"*President Biden and Vice President Harris took on Big Pharma and won, and now millions of seniors and others on Medicare will soon see their drug costs go down on some of the most common and expensive prescription drugs that treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, blood clots, and more.*"

Work with the US Embassy. It's not true that theres nothing that can be done about prices

From the Nassau guardian Aug 20 24
"*The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies the following individuals as high risk but not exclusively: gay, bisexual men who have sex with other men (MSM) or individuals with multiple sexual partners.*"

Every *fact* is not an attack. It can simply be a fact

1. An established number of islands and an established number of cays must be free from Big enterprise/development and mass tourism and remain true to island life with full access to all beaches for all Bahamians

2. The high water mark referenced in access to beaches should be abolished. A large part of bahamian culture is enjoying the beauty of beaches while in the shade beyond the high water mark. Noone is allowed to own sand and native vegetation up to 50ft inland from the tree line. This is where we went completely wrong as a country. Giving away our most precious gift from the heavens to wealthy foreign interests who then tell us we cant set foot on "their" beautiful beach

2.The constitution must be amended to place a moratorium on the right to register in the interest of national security as allowed by the constitution. The provision is retroactive to 2014.

3. Planning details for all utilities should be accessible to all Bahamians. The secrecy surrounding the wholesale giveaway of BEC should never happen again and an immediate review should be conducted of the sale and the share offer to determine if it is in the best interest of the Bahamas. Best interest is separate and apart from a positive result. If the country could have saved 10 dollars but the deal was constructed to give Island Grid an excess 9 and the Bahamas 1, that's not best interest. Pike is just a vendor doing what vendors do, work for pay. Wilson simply has the ear of the PM, neither brought any assets into this deal and neither stands to lose anything. In addition, can an executive of the firm facilitating a multimillion share offer be a board member of the company distributing the shares? Maybe, but odd. these questions and others need independent review by an internationally recognized and respected firm.

4.The constitution must be amended to remove sitting MPs charged with serious crimes from active representation in the house until the verdict of not guilty is arrived at. It is a travesty and a national embarrassment for an MP charged with rape by knife and an MP charged with bribery to stand to speak for anyone and reference "*this respectable house*"

5. The constitution and laws must be amended to address ethical breaches. Acceptance of gifts over 100 dollars inclusive of tickets, plane trips, luxury condos, land by investors seeking favour with govt officials should be outlawed and result in seizure of said gifts and a fine of no less than 10,000 dollars. Amounts adjustable upward based on the seriousness of the breech.

6.The judgement on environmental fines can not be a national secret. The use of the term "national security" has to be justified to a panel of independent justices.

7. corruption, infrastructure, education

She shouldnt have blamed the driver. "Leadership"

Paraphrased from a cnn.com article, Trump asked his staff not to have him in photos with disabled veterans because it doesnt make him look good. When he saw a disabled vet singing the national anthem he wanted to know who invited him. John Kelly also said Trump has been untruthful about his stance on right to life and Christianity. In response to prospect of Trump 2024, Kelly concluded "God help us". Another former staff member called a Trump presidency the greatest threat to America in history.

These characterizations are vomit inducing, and these the people who worked with him
