How can you have a Golden Jubilee Games for an event that has not even been around for 50 years? Seriously?
So you host the games and do everything in New Providence. Why not to benefit other islands have some of the events in other islands? That way you help the economy of other parts of the Bahamas, rather than just Nassau.
Oh, and sailing is to become the national sport of the Bahamas? How many Bahamians are involved in sailing? How much of it is taught in schools?" What have we done on the international scene with this soon to be announced national sport?
If it is not a smear campaign, and you just want to supposedly have answers, then why put all your questions in the public forum? Why not be a mature leader and go to the ones who have the answers you are looking for an ask them?
The fact that the government did not go to the people with the answers but come in the public domain it clearly indicative that they wanted to do a smear campaign.

Another brain dead politician. How does diversifying in the tourism industry solve the problem? Is is not still all dependent on tourism? So will this greater diversity in the tourism industry keep the tourist coming if there is another 9/11 or pandemic?
What I find so amazing though, is that the same PLP that constantly tries to vilify Stafford Sands, continue to the two prong approach he developed for our economy and cannot come up with anything else.
The whole point of the baking system is to perpetrate predatory lending to keep people in financial slavery. They would gladly give you a loan for a car or shopping, but would shut the door on you if you want to be your own boss and sign the front of the check and not the back.
Amazing how these foreigners from Canada, the US, and now England are constantly writing letters saying what the Bahamas should do and keep ignoring what their own countries are doing.
If this was really about getting the information though, don't you think the financial secretary could pick up the phone and call Mrs. Larson? Are we this childish in the Bahamas?
The reality is every NGO ensures they give information to the donor. Watson just trying to spin the falsehoods.
