And Minnis excites people? This comment has to be a joke. Then again, a blind supporter would say anything without thinking.

Mr. Pintard doesn't think the voters hare Minnis, the voters themselves have expressed. If Minnis comes back, FNMs will stay home again.

This myth needs to stop. Hubert Ingahm came to power in 1992 with a country for sale and a broken economy. less than a year later he had to deal with Hurricane Andrew. ANd look what he produced in 5 years. Minnis just was a plain dictator with and was about himself. If he had listened to the advice of his won people, he would have fair way better in his 5 years.

I do not comment to foolishness, but this is the most unintelligent, ignorant, lack of common sense and blind political statement ever made.

I really respect the comments of Brensil Role. Minnis is trying to force himself back. He has learned nothing.

So the department of labour is not doing the ministry of social services job?

Any wonder why we can't advance in this country?

This cannot be correct right? So who else he supposed to be monitored by? Is there another group monitoring different people?

This cannot be for real in this country.

So the minister of national security response is that everyone else borrowing form the Chinese, so we do it do? How dumb of a response is that. If everyone else blows up their country then we do it to?

The PM is really a bafoon. Bahamian people are baffled how you all are not able to get medical treatment right with PMH, but want to build a $290 million dollar hospital through a loan, and we know first we will be saddled with increased debt for a hospital you'll will not be able to get medical right for either.

If you cant get PMH right, why should we believe building a new hospital will get medical right?

You right. The Bahamian people are baffled by the incompetence of government and your unwillingness to answer questions in the House of Assembly.

What does who Symonette supports has to do with these bills?

Do you have any proof of what you are saying? Otherwise, that could be taken as liable.

I think we need to be more responsible on our comments of others, especially when we offer no proof to support the claims.

The letter writer has to be going senile.

You want to tear down Pintard for not being a part of the new generation. Fine. Then you better tear down the Minnis you admire so much, as he is no wear near the younger generation. So why be gung ho for Minnis who should be retired?

Last time i checked, isn't The Bahamas closer to the US? So why is the pricing being compared to Caribbean countries that have no relevance to proximity and relationships?

And rather that just print what they have been given in a report, where is the journalistic input to show that what is being stated is facts. We need journalists to please start challenging these statements from people and not just reporting what they say.

Why does the government use a US firm and ignore all the Bahamian firms, and all the architects at is own Ministry of works?

This is a slap in the face to all Bahamians. Our governments do not even believe in their own citizens who LIVE and WORK here.

A specialist hospital? Seriously? Maybe get PMH right and maybe provide serious medical care and facilities in islands outside of New Providence before the specialist hospital.
