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!
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!
Some more than others find ease in remaining studiously ignorant Porcupine! Dr Martin Luther King Jr said it best “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity”.
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.
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…!!
So the uber controlling communist state of Cuba is going to shrug their shoulders & allow their citizens to work in a capitalist society and keep their hard won earnings (at salary rates likely 50-100% more than their comrades in Cuba) instead of returning it to the Mother State?
When is Davis&Co going to stop treating their fellow citizens like children ever ready to believe their latest fiction and lies. And if us peons can see through this latest piece of PLP fiction, are they so arrogant, so egotistical to believe they’ve fooled Rubio et al?
More smoke and mirrors from Davis&Co’s fraudulent diviner.
Whenever this clown makes these preposterous announcements (which upon tabulation equals 100%), no detail and/or “no breakdown provided” is our red flag warning of severe BS ahead!
