And he wants to regularize them to keep them coming? Isn't this why they are here? To drop anchor babies who can qualify for citizenship in 18 years? He just lost my vote... not that the PLP had it anyway!
Why do they keep giving these outrageous percentages to make us this they are making huge progress? Stop it already. 80% of people are still complaining. If 80% of electricity was restored the talk show hosts and social media would not be so crammed with complaints.
By the way, I'm in Shirlea and my lights are STILL off!
I continue to doubt these numbers - 50% restored, 75% restored - because everywhere you go more than 90% of the Bahamian people are complaining.
I also question why they gave the BPL management team a 5-year contract. We have just got to be better about how we do business in the Bahamas as we always get the short end of the stick in Government deals.
Come on man, we only have one source of electricity and you hand it over to a management company for 5 years? Ever heard of "probation". We should have given them a 1 to 2 year contract and if they failed to perform, leave an out clause to fire them and start over. If this is how they are performing on tax payer dollars in the first year, what will happen during the next hurricance or the next major power outage?
I read this story in the other daily and it really bothered me. Sometimes we can be so calloused when it comes to how others feel because we are not in their shoes and are not experiencing what they are.
We reserve the right to be critical of the PM, his Government and his policies, but how do people not see something wrong with calling his wife and daughter a who*e and his autistic son something equally unmentionable? It's not funny. It's not an "artistic expression. It's downright unacceptable.
Glad to see the young man repented and the grace with which his wife and son accepted. They are bigger for it.
McCartney just enjoys being a spoiler which is the only thing that's keeping his party relevant. Sadly, it may be all that his party will ever be known for.
I agree. The only persons who are not invested in this country are the Bahamian people. Every other Tom, Dick and Harry can come in and benefit and all we can settle for is a JOB! 40 years after independence and it's all we qualify for - a JOB. Tell me, how do you let a Chinese, Jamaican or American investor come into your country to sell your sand, sea and culture for a profit when you are the ultimate beneficiary? Who better to sell the product than the people it belongs to?
