> Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper confirmed yesterday there was no tendering process for the insurance contract because of time constraints.
>He said the previous provider, CG Atlantic, was not forthcoming with details about the performance of the programme and was not willing to extend its services until ministry officials could analyse the scheme.
This pretty much sums up the matter. CG Atlantic obviously refused to engage in any shenighans, and corrupt Cooper, finding CG Atlantic to be too upright and proper in the conduct of their business affairs for his liking, decided to park the government's travel visa insurance business on a no-bid basis with a much less upright and 'much more accommodative' insurer willing to wheel and deal, namely Colina. Birds of a feather do indeed like to flock together. LOL
You're so right. It's just more evidence though that non-Bahamian "others" are really the ones running our country today. Our elections and entire parliamentary system are nothing but a farce because our so called parliamentarians have no choice but to do the bidding of those who are truly 'in-charge' of our country's affairs.
My knowledge of him goes all the way back to when Marvin Pinder was a partner in his law firm. You probably don't even know most of the businesses he owned.
> Industry sources confirmed that the maximum mark-ups, or margins, that dealers are permitted on new and used cars currently stand at 25 percent and 15 percent, respectively.
And that compares to 7% and 4%, respectively, at Florida auto dealers. LOL
Other tourist destinations in our region of the world have done away with all COVID-19 restrictions, e.g. Dominican Republic, and they are eating our lunch big time, just as Florida has done for the last couple of years.
You, like me, must be old enough to remember when many of us were not allowed to go to the Savory Theatre on downtown Bay Street. I too don't recollect Godfrey Kelly loudly speaking out about the many injustices like that before majority rule.
