The number of missing will soon be 0 - zero.

But not to worry; the number to soon be conceived in the new private procreation tents will total in the thousands!

On Officials yet to finalise Dorian 'missing'

A single case of Ebola in the Bahamas would be enough to kill what remains of our tourism industry in the wake of Dorian. But neither Minnis nor Sands (both medical doctors) are able to identify the specific tangible steps that have been taken by government to protect the Bahamas from an outbreak of Ebola. World health authorities have failed to contain a major outbreak of this deadly virus to the Republic of Congo and it has now spread to several neighbouring and nearby countries on the African continent.

The landing rights of all flights from countries known to be suffering from an Ebola outbreak should have been long ago suspended, as well as all flights from other countries now considered to be at the greatest risk of an outbreak developing anytime soon. Why hasn't D'Aguilar, as Minister of Tourism with responsibility for Aviation, made a public announcement revealing those countries that the Bahamas will not accept commercial and private flights from? Also, what about sea vessels from any of those same countries. And why haven't immigration and customs officials at all of our air and sea ports of entry to the Bahamas been equipped with portable (hand held) devices capable of detecting even a mild fever an incoming traveller may have?

God forbid we find our Minnis-led FNM government is no better prepared to deal with an outbreak of Ebola in the Bahamas than they were to deal with the recent major hurricane. And is our government aware that there is considerable indirect air traffic between Haiti and various countries in Africa that greatly increases the risk of an Ebola outbreak in Haiti that could all too easily spread to the Bahamas?

Our corrupt Minnis-led FNM government has wrongfully allowed Statoil/Equinor to oversee the determination of the cause and extent of the oil spill, and the resulting damage to the environment. This absurd situation is the equivalent of wrongfully allowing someone accused of murder to determine the cause and extent of their involvement in the murder, and the resulting charges that should be brought against them in the circumstances.

An independent physical inventorying should have been done in the immediate aftermath of Dorian to determine the exact total quantity of oil still securely stored at Statoil/Equinor facility as adjusted for the effects of water contamination and evaporation. Also, Statoil/Equinor's inventory records should have been fully secured and subjected to an independent audit/verification examination to determine the exact total quantity of oil stored at the facility immediately before it was impacted by Hurricane Dorian.

The difference between the independently audited/verified pre-Dorian total quantity of oil stored at the facility and the independently inventoried post-Dorian total quantity of oil remaining securely stored at the facility should be regarded as the total quanity of oil that was spilled into the environment.

where is the scientific report detailing the independent audit/verification procedures applied in determining the actual total quantity of oil spilled into the environment?

why is our government willing to accept reports from experts hired by statoil/equinor as opposed to government directly engaging its own independent experts to determine the true quantity of oil spilled and the full extent of the damage caused to the environment?

are minnis and turnquest being penny wise and pound foolish by not ponying up the funds necessary to directly engage suitably qualified foreign experts to prepare the independent scientific report warranted by the magnitude of this disaster?

why are minnis and turnquest so deaf to the loud outcrying demands of the voters for such an independent scientific report scientific to be prepared and made available to the public?

> Mr Darville questioned why it took so long for Equinor to arrive at a correct figure.

It took so long because the figure arrived at by Equinor is ***not*** a correct figure. The net spill figure of 55,000 barrels arrived at by Equinor is materially understated.

Whenever you hear public-private-partnership (P-P-P) coming out of the mouth of a politician it means only one thing: The taxpayers pick up all of the costs and the private investors take all of the profits.

You can be rest assured that if such a P-P-P ever came to fruition, certain muck-a-mucks closely connected to the highest levels of the Minnis-led FNM government will eventually be among the profiteering investors.

The legal structure of this Prince George Wharf deal as outlined here is clearly designed to rob the Bahamian people of the lion's share of the true value that would be unleashed from one of our country's most valuable assets.

The Tribune obviously has little sympathy for the many Dorian survivors who are suffering from severe forms of PTSD. How many more of these types of very descriptive articles is The Tribune going to shove in their faces during the coming months?

The photo to the above article is now one of the most viewed photos on social media in Northern Haiti and the human traffickers there are already telling their many thousands of potential customers that the Minnis-led Bahamas Government is building for illegal Haitian aliens a brand new city in Central Abaco called "Ville du Dôme". I kid you not!

Like Minnis and a few other more arrogant MPs, Moultrie was obviously never taught that it is rude almost universally for one to point with their index finger while speaking to another individual or group of people. In fact, in many cultures around the world it is considered exceptionally rude and aggressive conduct. It's a telltale sign of poor rearing and training received during childhood.
