Come on Bahamas! Inspect these small carriers properly please or ask the USA to help! what was the takeoff weight, duration of flight etc? What are the number of incidents for this carrier per passenger mile?

"There’s nothing pejorative at this stage,” he explained."
Definition of pejorative: "expressing contempt or disapproval."
REALY!?? - your position is your organization has no contempt or disapproval regarding BPL's actions or inactions?- get real. This is a national security matter, period. Lots of contempt and disapproval with the general population just not those regulating or maintaining things -

Also someone should be fired if the investigation only began 2 weeks ago and not a decade ago.

Remove uncertainty where possible by firstly putting the rental units under armed guard. You think all parties want things running smoothly? Then add more rental units by same company and start on solar plant immediately with performance contractor- the losses associated with this to society are (and could be eleven more). staggering.

Persons cancelling vacations, changing destinations, just by what they hear.

Could be wrong but I believe under the last fnm government electricity reliability was at its best. In any case it doesn't matter - what matters is the actual cause, preventing it from happening again, and the long term solution.

Thank you for the update and focusing your report but if you are done then Now please:

-do have the police advise as to the cause of the fires and whether a full investigation by the police was done- every oversight and or intentional criminal act that costs money should be detailed - those plants that aren't running should be under renovation once the investigation is complete. Defense force oversight may be needed - hey what about buying insurance on every unit in operation?! Come on people!

Ok,
So why would you have multiple rental failures ? Just please do advise!! Open the darn books, weekly updates, who decides on strategy? Wasn't there a foreign consultant on high salary and housing allowance for years in NP - where are those reports? Enough crap - call the defense force to monitor the plant please! Send a few officers off for training if needed.
Move generators from out islands if needed - if you aren't willing to do that then you must be able to rent more generators NOW for next March onward. Come on! Call in some SOLAR performance based contracting please on a massive scale -wouldnt it solve it - why not- special interests??? Do you have a Better option- NO.
A good manager surrounds herself/ himself with people technically smarter than her/him and doesn't let pride get in the way- call Elon Musk- anything but don't expect you can solve it year after year!

Hey new idea- until shell gets here- place 20 armed defense force officers at the generator plants to log all activity and ensure no more arson or BS. Swipe the slate clean otherwise - national emergency- probably yes in any other country.

Yep.. the Compass point owner is only voicing every business owner's issues! It's a real challenge staying in business in this country and the government could care less about the private sector. If we are wrong, prove it- we are fundamentally a service based country plus real estate and a few other areas maybe- we should be doing our best to keep the investors we have. Forget the BS about investors only being guests- they are leaders, pushing hard everyday to keep their businesses open- for example just look what happened with Fast ferries since they first opened- no real government cooperation I don't believe- thus still a crap hole down where they depart from?
Just more taxes right !? (No VAT on home insurance is great but why the heck would you leave VAT on health insurance, office rent say under a threshold, food???!!!!!, BPL!!, and then turn around and continue to run a recurring deficit). Yet no VAT (or import duties) elsewhere - Just plain Stupid. Stomp on the small guy - what middle class lol! It can be fixed if they first admit something is wrong lol.

BPL is just full of crap! No way they are working "diligently" to solve the problem with three units out of service- just untrue -publish why those units are out of service exactly every time - this has been going on for decades - they obviously don't have what is needed to correct the problem. Fire them all and call FPL/ Shell- seriously give a foreign company the keys with a 50% government subsidy! Or hey engage performance contractors to install an alternate solar system.
Yes we have lost a fridge, a washing machine, and a pool pump due to BPL in the last 18 months- absolute BS in the www.** .BS!
Persons will become fed up and leave the country! Swallow your pride and fix it before October!

So right. Yep- government has no clue on so many fronts. Basic economics - lowering the cost of doing business and buying goods and services (lower fees, lower duties, lower brokerage rates etc) will result in the medium and long term in more business volume which will result in more overall tax revenue... or the government could just kill the hens that lay the eggs by overtaxation while never really balancing the budget. ( Also VAT on health insurance and power consumption is just B.S. - who does that benefit exactly? Fix it please leaders now. Who can afford health insurance at best of times never mind with your VAT.)

With the amount of tax and import duty concessions handed out to foreign investors on incredibly expensive FDI properties - really NO Bahamian should have to pay property tax of any kind - especially not on their homes and vacant property- please feel free to do the math on what profits are leaving the country and stop talking crap. Are these concessions agreements without end, not renegotiable, hello?
