Why should Mr Pintard offer additional evidence to that already presented by Mr Thompson?

“Mr Davis said that the Parliamentary Commissioner Harrison Thompson stated that approximately 15,000 names had been removed because they were confirmed to have deceased. According to Mr Davis, Mr Thompson indicted that from 2017 to the present date about 15,000 had been removed. He added that even before 2017, there were names in the register of persons who had died but had not been removed.”

So there you have the evidence.
However why is such a list secret in the first place?
Shouldn’t the changes of every year’s voters list be made available for the public as well as the subsequent up-to date voter roll be available to ensure the transparency this ‘new day’ has supposedly sought for all Bahamians?

I am curious about Mr Davis Freudian slip regarding errors that Mr Thompson may have made. He states “if you have the evidence the law provides the Parliamentary Commissioner- he’s human right? And like every one else, WE’RE prone to error”

Dr Davis makes sense, however the application of good sense in the Bahamas requires the will to make this palatable to Bahamians. That carrot has never worked here.

Davis is extending his slippery seal act by mocking his own citizens’ intelligence in claiming they’re comparing their current power bill to that which they paid in January, “consumption is up!”.
Does he really think Bahamians are so dumb they can’t figure out it’s hotter in the summer so they use more power?
Or they cannot see that comparing their July 2024 power bill to this year shows they’re paying more for roughly (so far) the same number of days over 90*?

That sort of contempt only makes the boot a surer bet!

So this entitled SOB rapes a woman with full knowledge of his HIV status, what his act would condemn her to and he’s whinging about the prison’s capacity to maintain his meds, ie. keep his miserable self alive??

Ms Lightbourn’s opinion, based on the reality of her experience within the Bahamas health systems and supporting her fellow nurses is one that needs to be heeded.
And besides she’s not telling us anything we do not already know.

And if some miracle occurs and this hospital isn’t built, that $300M (less the usual ‘gratuities’ to Davis&Co & cronies) wouldn’t be enough, far from enough to bring this government’s health facilities to a passing grade of effective services for this nation.

And I’m sure the nurses hired as well as other professionals are part of the deal w/China to bump their data on employment.
Private hospitals need to be funded by private interests and certainly not this government!

rosiepi says...

Well given all the skullduggery and payoffs to the Christie PMO and all his cronies, the Chinese have good reason to make hay while Davis&Co are still in a position to pick the pockets of Bahamians!

Where did all the 80+ Cuban nurses go, all the teachers?

There is no way the Cuban gov’t is going to allow their medical professionals to work w/o strings to the state and Davis&Co won’t have it either, they can’t afford to let them go to the States.

The better solution, ie. for Bahamian citizens would have been to beef up their nursing program at BC and hire the nurses who sit waiting for permission to practice their profession!

And that stupid feint and good money after bad to the Baptist College, their much ballyhooed ‘new nursing program’ is no such thing.

Students will pay tuition and outrageous fees (mire than a year at the Nursing Program at Bahamas College for a ‘introductory pre-college nursing program’, to get them ‘ready’
Thats all they have a that school, after a student graduates they’ll face the same 2 year program at BC with an additional year of fees as well, there’s no credit.

Only in the Bahamas folks!

I had a chuckle when I read of Knowles procurement order for $12M worth of fire fighting equipment, because I recalled that not too long ago Davis&Co were heaping scorn on a FNM MP for suggesting the same amount calling it pitiful.

I suggest you consider the possibility that any enterprising criminal seeking entry without triggering the alarm would do his/her homework beforehand.
I doubt many folks have alarmed ceilings and or roofs, so…!!
