I support this view to open up to foreign direct investment (FDI) in non-traditional areas to attract more US dollars into the economy. Tourism will come back slowly but its past time this country look at eco friendly, Green economy investments. Nothing like the investment proposal in yesterdays tribune by the Morgan's Bluff Development Ltd proposal for the limestone mining at morgans bluff Andros should not be entertained by any right thinking Government.

So if this article is stealthly advocating for that development because of a promised registrar and Share transfer agent/ share offering administration contract for the above stated company, i say to the Parties involved .Destruction of the Bahamas largest remaining source of underground fresh water is not worth no amount of US dollars.

The Destruction of the Bahama Islands by companies such as this proposed development must come to an end We do not want a repeat of the environmental fiasco that has taken place on Grand Bahama, that has resulted in the flooding of areas that has never flooded because of Rock and limestone mining. Just look at the miles of dead pine trees on Grand Bahama caused by the destruction of the fresh water table in many areas. The Land pirates must be stopped. The flooding in pine wood gardens is the result of this same process that the developers now proposed to do in North Andros on the Bahamas Largest and most important water resources left in this country.

Mr Kutman ... how can you publicly make such a statement. The Bahamian people are not fools. .

"Mr Wells, pointing out that interest payments on the Bahamian dollar debt were "at our discretion", said NAD had exercised its option not to make these payments to the likes of the National Insurance Board (NIB) and other investors until its cash flow returned.
