The costly and most frustrating nonsense hindering the conduct of legitimate banking business in the UK will hopefully fade now that the UK has exited the EU. As for the last paragraph of your post, I'm sure most of us couldn't agree with you more.
> “In the emergency order ***there are no restrictions*** on import on PPEs,” Mr Collie continued. “The only restriction is that the supplies have to be sold to medical personnel and that is who we plan on selling them to."
What Mr. Collie says here is not entirely true. Only PPE's sourced from reputable suppliers abroad are allowed to be imported for resale in the Bahamas. Has Mr. Collie provided the appropriate local authorities with the paperwork necessary to evidence the source and quality of the PPE's he has imported for sale to and use by medical personnel?
A huge global blackmarket for cheap and ineffective PPE's has come into existence to take wrongful profiteering advantage of the Covid-19 crisis. Not surprisingly, most of the dangerous 'knock-off' PPE's are being made in Red China.
Why is the very corrupt and grossly incompetent Desmond Bannister still minister of works?
And now Bannister is gleefully claiming he's all smiles from ear to ear at the prospect of his ministry being allocated $500 million for capital works in the next budget. Have Minnis and Turnquest gone totally insane? The $500 million would all too quickly be spent with at least half of it being frittered away by mismanagement, waste, fraud and corruption.
Incidentally, the truck in The Trib's photo may have been carrying a load that greatly exceeded the bridge's capacity load factor. Doubt the loaded truck had to be weighed or otherwise estimated before crossing the bridge and equally doubt the load capacity for the bridge was ever posted at both ends of the bridge. Thankfully no loss of life for Bannister to wear around his neck.
P.S.: Apologies for neglecting to also name our minister of environment who did manage to find the goat and two birds in the aftermath of the major oil spill.
I've never voted in any of The Trib's online surveys because they can be too easily gamed with little effort. If you had 500 'dummy' email accounts, each tied to a Trib online reader account, you too could get whatever Trib online survey results your little heart desires.
It was Joe Darville, Hubert Minnis and Carl Bethel who long ago let Equinor/Statoil off the hook for the very serious environmental damage caused by the major oil spill attributable to fundamental design flaws in their oil storage bunkers in Grand Bahama.
Has our supreme ruler ordered that Equinor/Statoil keep all of their Grand Bahama oil storage bunkers empty during this coming hurricane season. That order should immediately be given if our government has not yet been able to satisfy itself that the fundamental design flaws have been propery addressed resulting in the bunkers being appropriately re-fortified to withstand the forces of a slow-moving major category 5+ hurricane?

Sadly you have a point there that speaks to the serious lack of confidence most Bahamians now have in Minnis's ability to govern the country.
