If the International Bazaar could not survive without a hotel, and Port Lucaya Marketplace is struggling without one, how will this Afro-Caribbean Marketplace survive with no hotel there?

This has to be a joke right? Who leaves the US or Canada with better living and pay accommodations to come to The Bahamas with is high cost of living and low pay? And that is where they are going to recruit. Wow!
Maybe if NIB is not used as the slush fund for the government and all these big contracts not be given to these directors, then we can see the fund not have this deficit.
What puzzles me is that the Minister don't want to call then D average, but yet she give statistics talks about how many got subjects with at least a D. So what gives.
Is this serious? Only in The Bahamas, people can do nonsense like this.
And then talking about competition legislation so people can compare prices? Seriously? I can compare prices now. Why not require gas stations to post sings so I can see the prices posted?
