EDITOR, The Tribune

I have concluded that The Bahamas is just like one of the network Soap Operas…should we take politicians seriously - are they serious - do they realise what they say, so regularly?

PLASTICS BAGS…how do plastic bags get to the beach and into the sea seeing that is seemingly the issue? Simple, Prime Minister you must have seen it at Goodman’s Bay after a holiday, it looks like the landfill. You and I take the plastic/garbage to the beach.

Have we heard in this so-called environmental thrust anything about prosecuting the public who litter? Not a squeak, but this is the root cause of plastic in the oceans.

Drive through any sub-division…road side garages…residential lots being used to garbage heavy equipment…when last did Physical Planning or Environmental Health ever prosecute?

So we ban plastic bags but then sign a 25-year contract for $170million worth of fossil fuelled BP&L engines…now that’s Soap opera decision making and all that environmental talk.

We are blessed with God’s sunlight at least 340-days in a year and Government - BP&L refuses to permit a 100-120MW solar clean generating electricity platform for Nassau - this is totally Soap Opera style…PM solar is the only way your folks south of the arch will get cheaper electricity but what so we do? No solar under any conditions - we ban that in a commercial form then we say we helping The people - just hog wash!.

Super Value charge the 25 cents then discount the sale by 25 cents…plastic bag charge gone! God are we so stupid?

PMH - $700 million is owed…Soap Opera style who created that? You and I and PHA for not collecting for services over the past years…another Soap Opera experience…PM Dr Duane Sands if you have costs you have to collect or the Treasury pays for them – try this principle at home soon house gone!

How much does Government and its agencies owe various utility companies, etc? BP&L said to be over $25 million…pay your bills Mr Finance Man this is not a Soap Opera, it is the real world.

It is real time, Prime Minister, you either do or in 2022 bush crack Doc & Co will be gone…can’t you uphold the Law?

Just come to me…BP&L them again they are a Soap Opera on their own…they purchased a GE generator for $35 million for Blue Hill facility - BP&L please confirm when was there a RFP for that?

NATIONAL HONOURS - we are unique we give them in duplicate - Bahamian and British on demand of recipients who believe they have the right to them…on demand!

Lord have mercy on our stupidity.
