Using the above logic, we need to move Freeport, West end and East end Grand Bahama. Also South beach and Pinewood Gardens in New Providence. Then Spanish Wells, Current, and James Cistern Eleuthera. Need I go on? You got to be joking.
They always have a rationale for increasing vat, power Bill's, license fees and numerous other levies; and an endless amount of excuses when it comes to reductions for our benefit. Using their methods of planning we are going to be taxed now if we have a hurricane. God help us. We live in a hurricane prone country and will very likely have one or more this year impact the Bahamas. What happens then? Dog eat ya lunch.
And the corrupt Bank Board and Management team that were complicit in these credit arrangements. The main culprits smiled all the way to the way to the bank with a hefty severance package and praised of a job well done.
Power was off and on three times between 6 and eleven thirty pm on Tuesday evening, in the West end of the island. No prior notification from BPL, and no advice to shut off breakers to prevent appliance damage from the dips and surges as power went off and on. As far as I am concerned we have a new generation plant; which John Q Public will pay for to the tune of 193 million I believe. The same crappy, unreliable service continues, with the same b--ls--t explanations. No change. Just higher levies on our Bill's. Merry Christmas.
He believes there are two generators coming from Freeport. Can't he at least take the effort to determine and say definitively that there ARE two generators coming from Freeport. They still have not properly explained why the rental units from Aggreko are not meeting the demand. Did anyone remember to add more power when they put Bahamar online. Kindergarten management.
Our PM and the Minister responsible for BPL have gone mute on this matter. Wait and see how many will be making noise in the press if the new generators are ever installed and rectify the problem. The din will be deafening. They all have generators anyway so maybe they don't know about the power outages. But now that big business is making noise maybe someone will notice. Aggreko has been renting generators to us for years and had they been notified could have had sufficient backup power here months ago. They know the island and the grid. The hold up was authority from the powers that be. Fusion, I hope that your equipment has not been damaged like the multitude of household appliances of poor people have.
