Could someone please explain how NHI, which is paid by government, will be able to generate revenue from diagnostic services at public clinics using NHI now? Will the clinics now charge the government for every NHI diagnostic done?

What domestic routes were disrupted by Silver's collapse? As far as I know, Silver flew international routes to The Bahamas, not domestic routes within the country.
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.

Isn't 47% in school a failing grade? Oh I forgot, a Dis trumpeted as a passing grade in this country. See why the AG can boast on 47%
