Really look forward to the WSC report (savings from Gibson's new projects) at this New Budget debate in May ...... if there is no election campaign going on at that time.
The crux of the matter that We The People do not want any better ......... we vote for stupid politicians and we vote NO at referanda ........... So the politicians enjoy the show
Less than 30,000 Bahamians work for the Government ........ out of a 200,000 labour force.
The civil service earns $800 million in salaries & benefits each year. That is an average of about $25,000 per year per Government worker .......... However, the average civil servant makes LESS than $20,000 per year (not a Minister who makes $70,000 or PM who makes $90,000)
The private sector employs the bulk of the workers, and pays far better salaries than the Government ............ so, this continued LIE about bloated civil service is nonsense. What is needed is succession-planning, skills training and proper redeployment ..... Why have 10 janitresses or filing clerks in ONE office?????
I agree Tribanon .......... Dezzie was the MOPW from May 2017 ........ What ever happened to review & cancel???? ........... If in the public interest????
But, again ............. it is bad reflection on a wannabe PM who did such a stupid thing as MOPW
**We need the government to put a moratorium on imports so the supply we have in-house can go to the local market.”**
That my friends is the elephant in the room ........... Special business interests, acquired tastes, and need for tax revenue will forever stop this from happening in our country ........ Except our Government goes "cold turkey"

I agree Clamshell ............ each island only needs ONE modern international airport.
Why does Eleuthera have three, anyway?????? Some have NONE.

40% of the Government workers are "temporary" on minimum wages ............ they will never get a pension.
Unlike the fatcat politicians and their special appointees to boards and contracts who get theirs upfront and guaranteed.
