In all the hoopla, this is a very telling statement that many will ignore.
How is it that tourism numbers be shouted as up, but yet the wealth in the spending is not getting to the average Bahamian?
Some people before they write letters need to really do objective analysis.
What legacy has Davis or is he leaving. Flying all over the globe making speeches is not a legacy, especially when you have not implemented one of the things in your speech in your own country.
@Dawes said it best. What has he done to even begin to make a change in climate change at home? nothing.
Representing Cat Island shows the legacy of Davis. nothing done!
The US VP did not come to meet with Davis, she came to meet with the Caricom leaders. And the only reason it happen in The Bahamas was Davis is chair of Caricom at this time. If another Caricom leader was chair, the meeting would have happened in that country.
It is ludicrous to think that Davis traveling all over the world, caused the US VP to come here. That is seriously flawed deduction and reasoning.

Wow. The PM head so far up his own koolaid, that he actually believes that Kamala came to our country just because he wasting money traveling all over the place. We in trouble. We need serious help in the leadership of this country.

Our newspapers need to stop printing stupidity. Challenge these MPs to provide proof for the statements they make, or do not print them at all.
What services do the government provide Freeport? Garbage collection? No, as that is a paid service by all residents. Road side cleaning? No, as all have to pay service charge Electricity? No. as no one wants BPL
Tired of these politicians and remarks with o factual proof.
