Are we fallback to where we started? Are we really to believe these Wartsila engines were brought in and the engineers at BPL and for Wartsila combined only discovered a challenge WAY after these engines were already in use? These guys are up to something. An engineer won't take that long to figure out things won't work well. If you put a new engine in a 30 year old car and don't change the other parts, you know exactly what to expect. So, either everybody knew and kept quiet or the guys are lying now. Either way you cut it a lot of people need to be fired and politicians involved need to be punished.

This doesn't make sense. The engineers who would have been there at the time the Wartsila engines were brought in would have known what challenges existed with installing them and if they didn't project this beforehand, it would have been noticed shortly after installation. Some th ung smells off here. BPL boasted thatbload shedding would be a thing of the past. Now, suddenly, "Oh, oh, we can't guarantee you have power throughout the summer." Look, someone is playing games here. Also, does anyone realize under the FNM, there was an agreement signed with Shell North America for the supply of power. The date for that to start has long passed but you didn't hear a PEP from anyone. Now these arithmatricks guys all of a sudden see an issue with keeping the lights on. This is in the back end of we need to increase electricity bills because of increase in fuel prices. Does anyone realize that fuel prices have dropped considerably for awhile now. The futures contracts th e FNM signed would. It have all been used up when the PLP took office. Prices have been declining for a long time. So, which months did they really have a high fuel costs. It seems the trend here for BPL is to come up with an excuse to fleece the population. Where is the money really going? Logic doesn't line up to what they are saying.

It's unreal in this place. Someone told me that a magistrate asked them (the plaintiff) if they could find an officer to execute the warrant on the defendant. I was stunned to hear that. So you bring a case to the courts, so you're not handling it like some thug on the street and then the courts are telling you, do our job and go look for a police officer to execute a warrant.

With all of the issues facing the nation should we be concerned about where a citizenship oath is given? If the persons granted citizenship were entitled I say drop the matter and move on. If they were ok with the setting why does anyone else care?

We have the former PM issuing lockdown orders for a week without prior notice during Covid leaving the population to starve if they didn't have food and if you required urgent medication "dog eat ya lunch".

The current administration appears to be playing arithmetricks with the BPL billing blaming fuel prices. I'm going to assume ALL of the FNMs futures contracts were not all used. So, we should have had the benefit of at least a couple months, right? If you check global oil prices they started to come down for awhile now. So, where is this big spike that the PLP needs to catch up on. Can the Minister of Finance along with BPL present to the BPL the numbers behind this story. It's the same story at the pump. Global oil prices dropped and the local dealers went up. I know they argue in the past "the oil in the wells were at the higher price". Guess what the higher price oil was sold at the lower price. So, what is the game going on here?

Goldwynn is getting like Baha Mar aye? Make up rules arbitrarily to limit black Bahamians movements on or near their property. Then when pushed to where they can be exposed try to brush it off by claiming it's a misunderstanding. Slavery was 500 years of misunderstanding. Segregation and racism was mere play on words.

This is a game where 1 + 1 = 20.

Geez! This appears to be a game.

One, if they were not using futures contracts like the previous administration before, have they started to do that now?

Two, they are talking about pil process fluctuations. They should show where global oil prices were from when they took over to where they are now and clearly state when the last oil futures contract from the previous administration ended. Something here seems off. From what I know there have been a major falloff in oil prices for months. The reduction in supply from OPEC didn't result in a major spike in global oil prices due to the low demand from China which pretty much negated th e cut. So, why are they telling a story of price increase?

Three, they should be transparent with all of the figures to give the population a clear picture of where we started, where we are and where we are going with regards to these pil prices. The story they keep giving isn't aligned with global oil prices. If prices are down why are they saying up and if it went up in a couple of months a bit but is still lower than where it stood a year or so ago where is this massive bill coming from? The FNM futures contracts could not have ended at the time the PLP took office and prices should not have gotten so out of control from that period to now to justify some major collection push. So, what is really going on?

This is about numbers. The PM and the Minister responsible for BPL needs to give a clear picture with numbers and timelines to explain this story. Their story doesn't appear to align with global oil pricing. Once again money appears to be bouncing around to a place no citizen knows.

Well, they won't get the money. So, back to square one. If Dr. Ian Strachan was shortlisted before and he is already there, why wasn't he made interim head until they sort out future leadership? I'm not saying that as a negative to Dr. Strachan. I'm just curious why they went with the lady who was no longer there and who ran the institution while it was a college (not a university). I'm not saying that as a negative to Mrs. Hodder.

It would be good to know why the President left. If there are issues that need to be addressed you can't bring in someone new, who isn't aware of these issues, and expect things to work. So, they ar the very least need to fix whatever issues are going on there, if there are issues. A professional usually doesn't take a job overseas and less than a year later resign citing personal issues. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's highly unusual.

Interesting! The GBPA always says there's a billion projects in the pipeline. So, what's new here? They listed a lot of projects. First thing, what are the dates of completion for each? Second, let's see what actually gets done.

The PM said that the GBPA isn't adhering to the terms of the Hawksbill Creek Agreement. Ok. So, say what penalty you're going to levy to get them to comply. Don't stand in Parliament giving an empty speech while Grand Bahamians starve.

A lot of political creativity at play. If we want to give them the benefit that they are trying to do the right thing, which we know they're not, why are the persons overlooking the funds government officials? If you create funds, how about you include also persons from the private sector who can have proper oversight? Od course we know they won't do that. But, why do we as Bahamians don't demand these thjngs?

If the funds are unconstitutional, then demand that this can't happen. If they have a legitimate reason for going this route then demand that it is properly ran and it is transparent.
