There’s alot of surplus blood diamonds in the coffers of Botswana, who better to smuggle them than one traveling in a party not subject to customs protocols?

And yet this government obviously lacking the ethos of what it means to secure and safeguard this country’s resources for the Bahamian people and constantly short of funds and staff necessary for the hospitals it does ‘operate’ is determined to secure yet another big payday for themselves with a $300M+ loan to build another hospital.

Might as well call this one St White Elephant and be done with it!

It’s a common practice in the US though hardly ever publicly promoted or utilized by government organizations.

And in the Bahamas it’s tailor made fraud:

One goes say to the grocery store, picks up manufacturers stamped out of date items, and/or on meat items (usually frozen) the new tag/new date sandwiched together scam and approaches the store manager telling him/her their purpose and the solution.
That would be if I get X amount of groceries free this never happened.

“The project will be rolled out in stages..” aka don’t hold your breath waiting on this start date folks!

Right.
He held back the employment of how many thousands of Bahamians poised to work starting 2014 to 2017 in order to enrich himself and his corrupt cronies!

This is old news, so why is ole Perry the Player inserting himself here defending and confessing..or did this media outlet just happen to be in his neighborhood??

One can only hope an old penny has dropped in or better yet he’s been served to account for he and his cronies’ deceitful corrupting of Sarkis Izmirlian’s vision for a $3.5B revitalized Cable Beach into the Bahamas’ worst pay to play scandal, a cautionary tale that still stymies would be investors today!

When one has witnessed the manner in which the police operate on the roads of GB you can only pray they don’t kill somebody… 5 hours to recover this woman’s body??

“Publicize them anymore”??
These contracts have never been made public, in fact Darville is still disputing the veracity of those leaked despite the fact he & Davis have blamed the US for their dissemination!

And no, the US State Dept is not “satisfied” nor would they trust any assurances given by a known corrupt actor/leader of a country on their watch lists for a host of crimes.
In Davis’ telling it was he who took Rubio to task over their lack of security re: the proliferation of arms pouring into The Bahamas. I’m finding it hard to imagine Sec Rubio allowing Davis to blather on knowing of his criminal profiteering connections to the gangs facilitating such activity!

As for his supposed admonition to Rubio concerning the “aggressive recruitment” of local nurses?
The University of The Bahamas is rated #6500 globally, their nursing program is not rated at all.
Bahamian nurses trained here and in Cuba cannot get hired for the 400+ vacant positions that the health authority refuses to fill save those that pour money into a communist regime

It’s a classical fish story, who’s buying this one?

Isn’t this exactly what was predicted when this government set about to increase fees/taxes for every visitor/second homeowners?

And of course no one has mentioned the increasing perception in the media far and wide that Nassau is running amuck. The height of the season and rapists dominate the headlines

Those ludicrous stories coming out of this gov’t downplay ing the fire on Bay St? Who do they think they’re kidding? Tourism merrily proclaiming traffic was per usual (they were disaster gawkers!) and Knowles’ downplaying what was pictured in the media, what had cruisers agog of ‘ flames just 500 yards from the port entrance’ was the result of firefighters battling stiff winds?

If the winds HAD gone above the 10 mph reported that coupled with no meaningful fire controls we’d be looking at a big empty downtown.

Now this will be an interesting build for $2M!!
Retrofit isn’t quite the correct word one would normally use to describe the complete build out of a lab complex whether in an existing building or not.
And all the bells and whistles Darville has casually included?
Those coming attractions will need a far greater outlay of monies

Additional costs for the promised resilience to natural disasters means millions more, though frankly we’d be far better off if that resilience included that against our own homegrown Bahama-disasters, the incompetence and sticky fingers of Davis&Co.
