Oh please!
With the amount of corruption revealed in the recent months alone, who needs to work hard directing a spotlight??!!

Davis&Co are not working in legitimate PPPs if they’re making these interest payments.
What this reflects is that their gov’t has failed to prove themselves a trusted entity for any interest by business investments in The Bahamas.

Taken with the revelations of the Gradiner-Davis&Co partnerships. one would be safer assuming that all their so called PPPs were in fact set up in name only as vehicles to tout Davis&Co as successful managers of the Bahamian economy, and taxpayers’ monies..

Thats why there’s no money for infrastructure, for schools & teachers, for any healthcare workers from janitors to MDs, nor to continue any funding for our existing hospitals.

Oh please!
Halkitis was the MOF who oversaw this company getting money to ‘build’ the Eight Mile Rock project/money laundering scheme.

He was their “ consultant” thereafter and likely set up the SPV scheme in anticipation that his election in 2021 would prime the company for more so called gov’t sanctioned projects while in actuality serving as a vehicle for Davis&Co to launder the profits and/or the $$ stolen by Davis&Co from taxpayers.

And of course he prudently resigned his position because the optics of his enabling these money laundering/drug smuggling criminals would make him look less like a self-styled trusted public servant and more like the double dealing crook he was in fact and deed.

And of course once again as the MOF in 2021 he ensured their becoming the contractor for Minnis’ Carmichael Village project. His government had the contract for the infrastructure out, & the contractor had the infrastructure for Phase 1 done by the fall election.

But under Davis&Co??
What, 70 homes built in over 5 years??

The current US anti drug operation no longer relies on coercing low level drug smuggling enablers like Ian Nixon, look at the Caribbean military strikes, look at the sting op netting criminals in the police/military forces controlled by top level criminals who control the government.

That’s because they possess the electro-magnetic and non-kinetic tools that act exactly as described by Nixon (and by afflicted Venezuelans during the Maduro seizure ) in his account of the incident in these pages, ie. being hit by something that wasn’t like any “normal turbulence” rendering the plane without power, electronics and cyber connectivity.

There is no money folks, cause despite their skullduggery to fix this election the PLP couldn’t leave anything to chance-they stripped the cupboard bare.

And if we’d done our duty at the polls there’d be a new administration well versed in the task needed from their desperate scrambling in 2017 to stem the fiscal bleeding left in place by the PLP.

So will we now finally face the embarrassing God awful truth of our culpability and stupidity?
That no one including Bahamians, may ever hope to have a country that lives up to its promise by electing drug smugglers, criminals and corrupt lawyers for over 50 years.

So now we know that the drug dealing smuggling kingpins in our communities have been working hand in hand with the drug dealing smuggling kingpins we elected to act in our ‘best interest’ using our money to fund their criminal enterprises, the bribes, the coercion and killing.
Using the business of gov’t to launder/hide their profits, import and export drugs and anything else regulated by the law.

Makes you wonder about those huge travel expenses doesn’t it?
All those climate summits, Davis&Co speaking to empty rooms?
Read that room!

Or to Botswana to set up a deal to bring the diamond industry here? Please!
How many blood diamonds bought with our money were smuggled in on that plane?
To Ghana as a PR campaign for a Davis son’s book that’s sold what-20 copies? a corrupt brought in and out of every single country.
And none of it will ever be discovered with Davis&Co on the throne.

The odds of Davis&Co supporting any of these laudable policies is nil.
Why?
They were voted into office promising these, they were just voted in again despite never fulfilling any of these.

As for a lottery? It’s another tax on the poor and worse the odds of any Bahamian lottery commission running w/o massive corruption is just laughable.

The politiking of Davis&Co is just too ridiculous.
The PM was swept into power promising reform…but never delivered,
really no big surprise.

Now the spectre of being swept out again has his party repeating the same last minute corrupt and oh so shaky give-aways as in 2017.

And it seems Davis&Co’s are out of chips and ideas!
They’re even repeating the same empty promises and speechifying.

So folks attired in red shirts were turned away at the polls in 2017, but the guy in charge of the process can wear his PLP gear??

Only six???

Not So!
PM Ingraham was the first to invite outside observers in 2012, but this is hardly the first quibble we’ve had with Davis and his running numbers game!
Furthermore the Opposition parties started calling out Christie & the PLP for the same observers ahead of the 2017 election to ensure a fair result. In fact there were PLP members and MPs grumbling about the need for such.

Now one understands that putting together a team of seasoned observers is quite a task yet when Pintard wrote to the US Embassy requesting those services on April 8th (& of those from caricom) neither had received an invite from Davis&Co despite the election being the next month. There’s always a method in their madness!

And one can only hope Davis&Co do not repeat the same skullduggery noted by those observers in 2017 including cutting the advertised advanced polls at the last minute from two to one…
