Comment of the week

GRAND BAHAMA PORT AUTHORITY MUST PAY EVERY PENNY

04/07/24 11:25 AM

Agents of the Grand Bahama Port Authority have made sure that the contents of a letter of demand from The Bahamas government were made public.  Last week, The Tribune reported that the Government has made a formal demand for the sum of 300 million dollars and change for the services that the Government provided to the Port and for which they are contractually obligated to reimburse the Government.  This is the first time that the Government has formally demanded the sums.

The formal demand comes after a history since 2002 of the Government asking the shareholders of the Grand Bahama Port Authority to divest themselves of their holdings and allow a new buyer or shareholder who can provide the capital to discharge the responsibilities of the Hawksbill Creek Agreement which their predecessors in title signed back in 1955.

The obligation of the  Port was to build the city, with the requisite infrastructure: a seaport and airport, the roads and to promote investment and to upkeep that infrastructure and promotion.  They have been woefully failing in that job and Grand Bahama, unlike the rest of The Bahamas, has been failing in that mission.

Unfortunately, the Opposition FNM does not agree with the Government and is supporting the continued ownership of the Port by the present shareholders.  So the battle is now joined.  An offer was made to purchase the shareholdings which was rejected by the owners.  The government has now turned to the agreement and that part of it which stipulated the payment for services.  The nub of it is that the Grand Bahama Port Authority does not have the money to pay. 

The matter appears headed to arbitration or the Courts and we shall see what happens.

Prime Minister Philip Davis who is leading the charge on this, traveled to Grand Bahama last evening to make the case to the PLPs in Grand Bahama that the fight is joined and the principles upon which the fight is taking place.

THE REAL PROPERTY TAX ISSUE AND HUBERT MINNIS

04/07/24 11:19 AM

So Hubert Minnis, the former Prime Minister, thought he was making a grand point in the House of Assembly by boasting about the real property tax exemptions that his government put in place in what they called the Economic Empowerment Zones, which largely covered the Over The Hill areas of New Providence.  This granted tax concessions to people living there and to businesses there.  All well and good. He was speaking on Wednesday 3 April 2024 on the Apprenticeship Bill.  He attacked the PLP for ending the exemptions.  The exemptions were in place from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2023. There is one thing though.  Dr. Minnis when he spoke with such fervor, forgot to mention that he had an interest.  Fred Mitchell pointed out the default to him. Thirty-six per cent of those on the list were his father Randolph Minnis or Dr. Minnis’ own company Leechez Investments Ltd.  At the very least he should have said: “Look this is something which benefitted me and that is why there are objections from me on this matter”.  Instead, he was defensive, saying that his father and he were not connected.  He and his father have nothing to do with each other.  That is what the Prime Minister said. What a shame.

THE SLAVES IN THE GRAND BAHAMA ECONOMY

04/07/24 11:16 AM

Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce President James Carey

The Grand Bahama economy has been going down the tube for years. The Prime Minister Philip Davis in his early budget speech made the point that he had been watching all the islands.  Their economies grew but Grand Bahama’s had declined.  He put it down to the fact that the Grand Bahama Port Authority and its present owners and shareholders were retardants to the growth of the island.  The Prime Minister’s comments were only a reflection of the widespread complaints across Grand Bahama about the ineffectiveness of the Grand Bahama Port Authority.  The shareholders and owners have in fact been presiding over a city in decline, with them selling off assets, pocketing the money, and putting nothing back into the economy.  An offer was made to buy but the owners rejected it.  The Government has now demanded payment for services pursuant to the Hawksbill Creek Agreement.  You would have thought that the business community would be grateful and welcome the push by the Government to improve the lot in Grand Bahama.  Not so.  Immediately the voices of the slaves started rising up “ Oh Massa, don’t set we free.  What is going to happen to us”?  Leading the fight is Rupert Hayward, one of the shareholders.  His language is disrespectful and condescending. It is also clear that  The Tribune’s Neil Hartnell is a willing tool of the disinformation campaign that the shareholders have been running.  It is also clear that the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce’s President James Carey and Attorney Kirk Antoni are other willing tools of the “ Massa Don’t Set Us Free School”.  You really have to shake our heads.

DON SAUNDERS A LOSS TO US ALL

04/07/24 11:13 AM

When the robber’s bullet pierced the skin of Don Saunders on that fateful night Wednesday 27 March 2024 in Gambier in New Providence, his family and friends lost a good man.  We add that the country has lost a good citizen.  The irony of this must not be overlooked. Here is a young man, up from poverty and deprivation, who becomes what we all say that we want our young men to be.  He gets married and is raising his own family.  He was a good churchman.  He was a lawyer and practiced with a good reputation at the Bar. He ventured into public life and achieved a modicum of success, getting elected to Parliament and he served as its Deputy Speaker.  He was the Vice  Chairman of his party.  Then he takes a decision to go play dominoes with friends at a place he always frequented in Gambier.  Within hours of that decision, he was dead because some knuckleheads wanted to rob the owner of the establishment. They shot Mr. Saunders dead on the scene.  This is a great loss to us all.

A PENSION PLAN MUST COME

04/07/24 11:10 AM

Last week, the Financial Secretary Simon Wilson, addressed what is the elephant in the room of the finances of the Government.  The fact that there is this burgeoning unfunded mandate called Government pensions that awaits a solution or it will surely bankrupt the government. Civil servants who retire get pensions and gratuities following good service at retirement but they make no contribution to the pension.  Just as the National Insurance rate increases were too long in coming, so the Fund is now in critical shape, and now we have this pension issue.  Long ago Alferd Stewart, the banker, chaired a Commission appointed by  Perry Christie’s Government.  That Commission reported that  NIB was in trouble and that the pension issue was a matter of concern for the government.  It recommended amongst other things, the NIB increase but said that the pension scheme of the Government should have been converted to a contributory pension. Nothing was done.  NIB was finally addressed last month. Let’s see what happens to pensions. If the Government had acted in 2002, then all new Government employees would have had to pay a contribution to their pensions and the government’s liabilities for the unfunded pensions would decline as people retired. But we did nothing and as of this time, we are still doing nothing except talk about it.

MICHAEL PINTARD’S FNM CONVENTION

04/07/24 11:06 AM

Michael Pintard, the Leader of the Opposition, is a man in charge of a divided and fractious party. He isn’t worried though.  He speaks with authority, teasingly making up stories about the fight for the Chairmanship of the PLP.  Poor Mr. Pintard has to sit in the House of Assembly with Dr. Hubert Minnis on his left, biting and chomping at the bit to take away his crown and replace him as Leader of the Opposition. According to Mr. Pintard by 17 September 2024, the FNM’s convention will be history.  He expects to triumph. He claims that Dr. Minnis does not have a chance to defeat him at the convention.  The expectation is that the convention will be staged in June of this year.  We all wait with bated breath.

THE POVERTY OF MPS

04/07/24 11:02 AM

Fred Mitchell speaking in the House of Assembly on the death of Don Saunders, the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, on Wednesday 3 April 2024, spoke passionately about The illusions of constituents that MPs are ladened with money that they can just give away at a whim. This came as Archdeacon Keith Cartwright opened an account in Go Fund to raise 300,000 to defray the cost of the mortgage left by Mr. Saunders which by his death will go unpaid, the health care of his widow who is chronically ill with sickle cell, and for the education of his daughter and son.  People were surprised but they should not have been. MPs and Senators are like everyone else.  They work for a living and their money is short and responsibilities large.  They should not have to use their treasure because they choose public service.  One day we might get to the point where people stop begging MPs for money.

NASTY THINGS IN CIRCULATION ABOUT DON SAUNDERS

04/07/24 10:56 AM

A man makes a decision to go out to his favourite watering hole, to play dominoes with the boys. That was the decision that Don Saunders, the former Deputy Speaker of the House made on 27 March 2024.  He died that night, shot in the casual use of a weapon by a robber.  The next thing we know there are these rumours circulating on social media about infidelity and how he was targeted as a result of it. All nonsense. A dead man cannot defend himself. His friends must answer the call. Fred Mitchell decried the nonsense and said in the House of Assembly on 3 April 2024 that the law may need to be changed to allow for the estates of ceased persons to sue for loss of reputation in the law of libel.

FRED MITCHELL AND SEAN COMBS NO CONNECTION

04/07/24 10:53 AM

Sean Coombs, the rapper and now alleged human trafficker, was in Bahamian politics, posted by FNM trolls on social media who circulated a picture of Mr. Coombs, also known as P Diddy, with a poster saying that Fred Mitchell was at his parties.  Mr. Mitchell responded in the House of Assembly on Wednesday 3 April 2024 to say that he did not know Sean Coombs from a can of paint and that those who pass it around should know that the law of defamation will be applied to them.
