Per diem for government officials for travel within the Bahamas is $70 per day and finding accommodations would add another $200. $270 total expense to the government.
With $2,500,000 spent on this plane (which didn't cost the government any money to obtain) equates to just under 9,260 days of out island travel expense at $270 a day.
This is on top of the fact that the plane will cost more to fly than the costs of seats on Bahamas Air.
There are also only 4 (main) airports in this country that don't have daily flights, so not sure how they are stuck all the time on Family Islands.
This is such a stupid waste of money, as always, and their justification only makes it worse.
The government seems to have confused the words 'end of year' with the 'end of decade'. Why does the government even bother with giving timelines. They never get anything done by the time they say they will.
Again, John, stop with the wall of text. Just say what you actually think. You think women are less than men. You do not believe that women should have equal rights to men.
You'd have a different tune if a wife was holding her husband down and violating his bungy. You think marital rape is ok, so that should be ok too then, right?

Wait, what is the $2.5M for if the plane was confiscated?

Does BTC not know who owns the land that their infrastructure is on?
Who have they been paying for the use of the land up until now?
The government is also giving away waterfront in land grants now?
Seems like no one actually has any idea what is going on, but what else is one to expect in the Bahamas

Kovats has made promises in the Bahamas for over a decade now. Show me one thing he has actually followed through on, besides lawsuits.

I hope he asked to drive on more of the roads, at least they will receive a superficial layer of black top then and some potholes will be fixed.

No matter what more you think is going on, no deal is sketchier than a deal with Kovats.
