@mudda. My goodness !! You too with life jacket !!! You should also try route to get on the roof. Have survival bag include flare from some japanese cars carry, boat air horn. Some air mattresses are sturdy to also use to float. Be prepardd to defend from looters.

Terms in GOVT office..........plpgovt (Opposition fnm)2002 - 2007 .......fnmgovt (Opposition plp)2007 -2012 ..........plpgovt (Opposition fnm)2012 - 2017 ............fnmgovt (plp Opposition)2017 - present. Both Political Parties were in the same country in the same Parliament and each having alternating terns all this time !!!!! 18 years a child born, now voter growing up with blackouts and now financial burdens.

Dr. Moxey, the blame has to be shared by both political parties...for the financial debacle...put on the backs of the people!!!!!!!

The priority areas of development have been now overtaken by Moody's announcement 16th and Tribune Article immediately todays Business on rising seas affecting Bahamas land being underwater, affecting National growth and massive land mass being flooded.

Priority is first to find out what lands you are dealing with and viability of having sustaining, survival areas. They must liase with hotel owners on beach properties bread an butter Bahamas income tourism and all other Ministries for national plan for the future of nation and wise decisions. Careful thought and plans needed before willy nilly rebuilding investing in politicians backyards.

If example, any foreign owned Hotel in the Bahamas wiith Bahamian govt interest chooses to open a Burma/Myanmar to celebrate anything Burmaese/Myanmar Restaurant etc at a time when Myanmar is guilty of Genocide of a large population under its control....other countroes where there are reprehensible inhuman forced conditions, persecuting, laws on persecuting segments under its governance....

Realities that now exist is that the Bahamas is one of the top countries affected by rising sea levels - one metres will submerge 11.6 percent of land mass, 3 metres sea level rise floods 31 percent of land mass - around one-third oa all Bahamas land according to studies Moody's report.and different studies show similar results.

All pledges and combjnation and permutations of issuances and repayments purposes etc of pledges needs to be reviewed in light of sea levels rising, hurricanes appearing in hours, intense ferocity, 185 miles per hour strikes (other facters in in must involve vacuum pockets cross winds combination, flying objects missiles, mini earthquake vibrations, etcetcetc), lengthy 2 days duration in populated spots etc.

More coordination of all govt ministries, Health, Ministry of Works, Tourism (where Hotels privately owned and on beaches), etc needs to have conversations on present future survival. Reality is hurricane season is just some 4 months away.

Any Finders Fee...??? Any Arrangement Fee,,,??? Typically, after arramgement of funds, connecting with different lenders,/providers paperwork etc there is usually a fee to be paid mobilizing funds from one to a sovereign nation with ability to repay.

Full investigations needed into every account.!!!!!! What the Bank and its Mamagement and politically appointed board of directors needs to have continued actions thoroughly examined. All this is the tip of the iceberg and not only those who have been greased have politicians paying off $100 million taxpayers money reported in black and white in press for collateral valued some $22.5 Million dollars!!!!

Given obvious mentality, all other accounts also needs investigation those customers who got screwed, victimized by negligence - every account !!!!! not only those who got greased by either political syndicates having political appointees carry out mandate of running the bank !!!!!! All investigated and published !!!!!

Right now it is dead bad nation has to beg and plead for foreign money and all this at Bank and other at run govt entities by either political syndicates leave nation in subserviant position.

Dr. Sands can pull out the Medical School graduates and give the list of some 600 nurses shortages at PMH, all medical positions. List can also include Pharmacists, Doctors who went abroad never retirned even met them with their clinic in US.

Hmmmmm....why would a Chinese hotel with strong ties with the Bahamas Gov't be opening, celebrating promoting national opening physical outlet making profits, India cuisine especially at this time when India imposing laws against citizens oppressing religious segment of its nation. No profits should be made on sufferings of people.

Pinder just seems another part of a Political party Sydicate system organized somewhat like the closed organized system.
The world has changed with the flow of professionals all around the world working for International Businesses. Many Bahamians flow, gets transferred, stationed, attend monthly meetings in other countries as part of the overall success of the jnternational businesses.
Mr. Pinder should know many Bahamians are abroad in finance, engineering, medecine, operating satellites, aerospace, power plants etcetc. and vice versa foreign professionals in finance industry come here.
Banking workers commonly are moved from country to country to have better skills for overall success of all in all company's business.
Mr. Pinder ought to know that the world has changed.
