Wow! So you think our black governments are too easily taken advantage of by all of those white foreigners whenever they have to negotiate with them, but yet you believe our black governments are not too dumb to govern us. Not sure where you're headed with that line of thinking.
Be rest assured....PLP and FNM governments are just two sides of the very same coin of massive fraud, corruption, waste and mismanagement. The Symonette family is still laughing all the way to the bank with the paving contracts at airports, the new main post office lease of Town Centre Mall, etc., etc. Minnis is no different than Christie and Ingraham before him and Poodling before all of them. They've perfected the art of making examples out of the small fry, like L. Rolle and her photo pin awards recently; meanwhile they turn a blind eye to the really big things going on that they go to extraordinary lengths to cover up and pray we learn nothing about.
Our Minnis-led FNM government has likely undertaken to introduce policies (e.g. outrageously high customs duty rates on solar power systems, etc.) that would make it almost impossible for the vast majority of BPL's customers to be able to afford to switch-over to their own much more economical source of solar power, with the possibility of selling to BPL excess solar generated power they don't need for themselves.
The government's new anti-solar policies would likely be necessary to try keep as many customers as possible on the very costly BPL grid, notwithstanding the outrageously high (and likely unaffordable) rates BPL expects to soon start charging its customers. That way BPL could have a better chance of achieving the targeted annual revenues that both BPL and the government have promised would be available to pay the exorbitant interest and principal amounts that will be due to the buyers of the rate reduction bonds. But as they say, blood can't be had from a dry stone!
And to think all of this is going to happen just when many of BPL's residential and commercial customers were hoping they might be able to switch-over to their own solar power systems as an economical means of getting around BPL's absurdly high electricity rates and unreliable supply of power.
The Gilinski group is based in Colombia and we all know that much of that country's economy is driven by Latin American drug cartels. CIBC selling out to a Colombian based financial group is a huge slap in the face of the Minnis-led FNM government, and a monumental betrayal of the Bahamian people. It's all too obvious that CIBC and the Gilinski group sensed great weakness in the Minnis-led FNM government and decided to strike while the iron was hot. Conducting financial business in the Bahamas will now be synonomous with conducting financial business in Colombia....and we all know what that means for the Bahamas in the eyes of the FATF, the OECD, etc. etc. The other financial institutions in the Bahamas are now going to have even greater difficulty establishing and maintaining correspondent banking relationships with other financial instutions abroad, especially in the U.S. and Canada.
And are the non-CIBC related minority shareholders of FCIB going to be forced to live with a Colombian based partner who was unwilling to extend to them the very same favouable control buy-out terms that were offered to CIBC? Surely this cannot be fair treatment of FCIB's minority shareholders!
