Common sense seems lost with voters today…
‘though a snake might change his skin many times, he will always be a snake’

So the same shysters that got ‘a deal’ for the re-do of the shoddily constructed Tommy R Stadium, and allowed the same along with corruption & mismanagement to run amok at the Baha Mar project and The Pointe ( plunging the Bahamas credit rating to ‘junk’) is back with another multi million dollar project to saddle us with.

The idea that any construction coming out of China and employing conscripted workers could top that done by other contractors and/or Bahamian workers is laughable.
One could start with the sand laden poorly stabilized concrete and just stop there. Unfortunately this is but the beginning.

This building will house Bahamians healthcare workers, citizens there to get better, how much will it cost to do the remediations necessary to get rid of the mold?
Duct work that acts like a sponge sucking humidity into it’s so called ‘non-impermeable’ surface?

Let’s see that EIA.
When was this project out for tender to the international market?
How many Bahamian contractors will go bankrupt over this and/or the legals to pursue their claims?
Will the Bahamian people ever see the true amount of debt owed to the CPR that the PLP have consistently and without remorse preloaded onto future generations?

SP-I’m afraid you’ll have to wear those labels.

Dolphins like most other creatures controlled and corralled by man their entire lives cannot survive on their own. For ex.the first dolphin that gave birth at Atlantis immediately used her newborn as a plaything almost drowning it, then she almost killed those specialists intent on saving it.
And for these sickly dolphins the irresponsibility of their owners has rendered them past the point of caring for themselves.

Didn’t Damien Gomez used to be the Ambassador of Human Rights??
And politicians in the Bahamas wonder why they’re a world wide joke??

Just another wkd in the Bahamas…

In light of the shortage of ambulances and hospital staff, how many victims of accidents and gunshot wounds would be alive today if our healthcare systems were managed by competent managers?

Two firearms netted and “a quantity of dangerous drugs”?
Somebody got the word out didn’t they?

If I was a member of OPBAT or ‘other US law enforcement agencies” I’d be plenty angry at this abject failure of the RBPF and the justice system to police their own corruption let alone Bahamian society!

One wonders what The Bahamas will look like when Davis&Co are finally booted from office and the keys to this kingdom wrenched from their greedy paws.
I shudder to think.

Dr Sands makes a very good point, the Bahamas of Davis&Co has been caught(again failing to do the most basic tasks of governance and management.
Please note Davis&Co are servants of the people, ideally Bahamians shouldn’t be paying VAT, duties and fees to politicians, but rather in return for government services.

If Davis&Co were in charge of a delivery business say, or a grocery chain how long would they remain in business if they didn’t maintain their transport fleet, order trucks parts, pay the electric bill, order food to stock the shelves, stagger produce so its not sitting being spouled?
How long til their customers go elsewhere?

Now apply that to their failure in the duty of care for the health and well being of Bahamians and tourists.
And we’re not talking about bushels of bananas, this is about human lives.

Massive fires round the world have been chalked up to climate change, and isn’t that the subject of Davis&Co’s world wide speechifying, warning and complaining of this effect on smaller nations like the Bahamas.

And before we allow him any due here let’s recall that we’re just as bad as any major polluter, look at our dead-in-the-water Ministry of the Environment…the deaths of our coral reefs, the diminished fish industry due to over harvesting, the pollution and dumping from cruise ships that go unchecked and the oil and sundry toxic materials buried and/or leaking, burning whatever.

Bahamians should be embarrassed knowing world leaders see our shrill lecturing on environmental diligence, the poor me pleas for what they are, political schtick for their homebound audience.

So tell us great leaders have you ever looked at the plank in your eyes??
And why should our islands have to wait for ‘donations’ of fire trucks??
Put this nation’s revenue to work, into good governance, proactive initiatives and not in silk lined pockets.

And the cost to Bahamians is…??

The new PM was chosen by a ‘transitional council’ 2 days ago.
Haitian gangs have vowed if they are not given ‘a seat at the table’ to participate in their hoped for change to turn round their economy and human rights issues they’ll not stop the violence.

In Jan of 2024 a Kenyan justice stayed the deployment of troops due to gang violence, one can hardly count on any firm date considering the people of Kenya’ trepidation amid this uncertainty.
If only the Bahamas government had the same good sense!
