After major disaster events affecting revenues of businesses there is almost certainly Assessment Reports or various Reports by other names produced by these companies.
Hutchinson and the Port Authority, multi billion dollar entities would have reports done going back years on their Freeport Airport which would have made this to some official in the past govt and current govt. These major concerns in some File with technical data etcetc probably sitting on someone's desk and seems suppressed. These critical imputs from reports seems to have suppressed on numbers of occasions but resurfaces like when former Minister of Health Duane Sands who exposed failings of some 6.6 Million dollar Health Clinic on Cat Island, Palmetto some 27 Million dollar Hospital, failings of 18 Million dollar PMH computer system.
Over the years there just seems to be any Engineering Assessment Reports on any type on the Freeport Airport, except efforts by current govt to buy it.
Yes indeed. You have been there too. Alternating political parties have accused other for Curruption to win elections to govern better, but there is little or no political will to correct egregious wrongs.
No person in this country should not be discriminated against on not having access to this life saving vaccine using the age of 65 years and older. Everyone ought to know that choosing the persons age of 65 years and older can have same or better criteria chosen for in the younger group.
Seems a bizzare plan for some to decide on not giving many in an age group an iota chance or mabye up to 8% cure of having a vaccine to save their lives instead of waiting until next advisory. Its the right thing in this democracy to treat all equally and have the vaccine available to everyone.
You need to have someone take off your halters and bit out of your mouth so you can see the bigger picture of our sisters protesting over monies due to them by their employer.
@ tribanon. Mr. Roberts usually gives the donations, like to the Feeding Network and with photo recently with the PM Minnis holding the oversized cheque. One of the cheapest things in the stores the public benefits from tends to be always big supply of bananas at usually 79 cents a pound. All govts need to be pleased with Mr. Roberts because govts reap in enormous tax revenues from Stamp Duties items coming into country and the VAT he makes selling for govt.
An obvious item that needs to be charged on is the suggary drinks which is part of contributing to the nations numbers of illnesses, but for some reason these drinks seem not to be discouraged by increasing its costs by govt. Drinks continue and increaseng Hospital costs to taxpayers continue and lot of patients take their money outside country for health care continue.
Extremely extremely horrible, victim stabbed to death in car accident.
Way past time these murderers doing these senseless murders no regard for viscious actions having weapons to kill, needs the nation to consider the law of the death penalty.
These viscious murderous killing of anyone in the public be it children, school girl, others getting murdered needs established Law of Death Penalty for culprits. The Police gun shot listening machine is to catch your killer AFTER you get shot dead, Police cars come AFTER one gets murdered. Time to have the Death Penalty for public to know there is at least some law to protect you, or give murderer fear of their action.... beforehand and put fear into these culprits.
Nation must have something, some bit of confort to protect public getting killed and in seems continuous going on of senseless murders.
You work and you get paid. This ongoing blatent wrong needs to stop being used on these females. The Commonwealth of the Bahamas as like many other Govts of other countries have the ability to have money to pay debts. The Govts have usual means to face costs of obtaining funds and the means of creating means to repay, generally like selling assets like Batelco to pay down debt, taxes be it dose of VAT and second dose, Corporate tax, income tax, selling run down govt buildings, tbills etcetc. and to also have funds by eliminating wastages. Govt is not devoid of having funds to pay bills it is responsible for and somehow headscratching considering free enterprise market forces Clico and a bank with private shareholders
In the Medical area and recent years these Nurses must have been aware of obvious authorities have wasted tens of millions of dollars like the buying seems half a mountain in Palmetto to built a Clinic some $27 million dollars? and wind up with no Clinic and grading down the mountain, then the recent Clinic invested for Clinic in Cat Island $6.6 million dollars but clinic was not suitable and not built, then there is the $18 million dollars for PMH Computer system that was high problems, then there was the exhorbitant housing of persons in hospital beds instead of having them relocated, etcetcetc. The Nurses worked and must be paid and interest and cost added to amounts money outstanding to them and officials held responsible working people and not paying them. (This type of not paying workers does not seem to happen in the male dominated construction business.)
