The Minister knows that fully equipped ambulances and/or EMS trucks from the EU start at $120,000 for the teeny weeny ones he’d previously ordered from Spain that aren’t equipped to accommodate folks at 200+ pounds, nor will have the complete ER medical systems needed.

Those from China are cheaper but certainly will not, nor are they up to our required usage of 24/7. Also they’re harder to maintain/keep on the road since we’ve no ready source for parts.

And delivery by March?
When they’ve obviously not paid for them yet? Please!
These trucks have to medically equipped after one pays for the trucks!

“It was a technical glitch and we worked it out very quickly.” Five mos later?
So by blaming his own government’s financial officers Darville would have us believe that he needed a ‘red flag’ notice about non-payment issues, oops “irregularities” in his own department?

Does this guy live under a rock? For he certainly isn’t strolling about his own venues, what’s called healthcare in the Bahamas.
Every entity, every person contracted to work (outside of his own department) with his ministry have voiced their concerns and now their anger in the news media, in the corridors of hospitals since 2022 when the worst fears of “New Day/Old Tricks” sunk in.
Yea right y’all better start campaigning vigorously!!

Davis&Co has always used the old excuse ‘blame the victim’.
It comes in handy when the taxpayers’ money keeps disappearing, when this government’s failure to meet it’s fiduciary obligations ceases to become “an irregularity”!

Well Davis seems correct given his government and party’s status as the most corrupt…since the last time they were in power!
And considering the number of Bahamian men proven to be sexual abusers especially their own and all those who protect them; disgusting as Davis’ statement is, Bastian being a co-participant in serial child abuser Epstein’s crimes likely won’t be a problem.

Someone who has never participated in the Bahamas electoral process, who’s never even voted is someone the FNM believes is deserving of a seat in parliament?
Someone who is so arrogant as to lie about publicly available information about his past??

This man certainly doesn’t represent any change from the bunch of liars currently in power!!

The only winners are CCP officials who continue to compromise our oh very so corruptible Davis&Co, the Chinese construction manufacturers who also continue to dump shoddy materials in the Bahamas market.
And of course let’s not forget all the graft to be raked in by our own crooks Davis&Co, from the CCP, architect, contractor, each and every sub and supplier.

If they tried this for Phase lll of Atlantis who thinks they’ve ever stopped?
BahaMar indisputably, so who believes that supplying the same to a job overseen by crooks like Davis&Co’s will be any different?

So Ralph Munroe Comptroller of Bahamas Customs told bald faced lies to this newspaper, given this paper possesses evidence to the contrary, ie. that all drug imports are documented etc etc. Heck anybody who’s shipped here knows that, I found out when my son totally our new truck and none of the airbags deployed- they’d been stolen.
The same story with the vehicle I next imported!

And this newspaper has no business including in this article warning us of this fraud and corruption that, “the grey/black market of pharmaceutical distribution…some in shipping containers…are pouring into official ports of entry despite the best efforts of Bahamas Customs”
The only “best efforts” is the business of corruption, thievery, kickbacks and worse for only way anything illegal passes through the Bahamas official ports of entry is because Bahamas Customs is so compromised.

And what has any of this to do with migrants? Don’t play that old game.
The Bahamian people own these crimes, this corruption.
If one wants real reform how is it that Christie’s old gang of thieves were re-elected to do their worst? People vote for who will give them money and favours or those who are easily bought.

Gee what a novel idea!
Government working for the people of the Bahamas instead of lining their own pockets on our dime!

So Mr Kassin undervalued his Columbian assets because of the “threat of violence and political instability”? Hmmm

Right. This comes online in about 2 weeks?
Surely if this is true Winder would have been able to name those committee members…?
And the means by which this ‘new process’ will address the chief concern, transparency…?

So what then is ‘new’ about this added bureaucracy and forms??
