Dear BP.
If there is one thing Bahamians can count on it is utter confusion and broken promises from this incompetent FNM administration. There is not one ministry of this government from which confusing statements or lies are not told when the true facts were readily available and easily verifiable. As an example, the Bahamas Chronicle of March 2, 2020 reported a story attributed to the Bahamas Information Services which stated: “The Government of The Bahamas on Monday, March 2, 2020, finalized the sale of the Grand Lucayan Resort to a partnership between Royal Caribbean International and ITM (Bahamas Port Investments Ltd.), which is expected to make a $250 million investment between the hotel and the redevelopment of the cruise port. The Heads of Agreement Signing Ceremony was held on the Great Lawn of the property, some 11 months after the signing of the Letter of Intent on Wednesday, March 27, 2019.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS The government has acknowledged the need to develop local talent to support its tech hub ambitions, according to Minister of State for Finance Kwasi Thompson, who noted that an arrangement with US-based networking solutions giant Cisco would result in training for 100 local programmers.
Speaking at the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) yesterday, Thompson said: “One of the things we realized in this process was that tech companies go where talent is, and one of the things we have to do is build our human capacity. Even in discussions we had with Cisco and other tech companies about developing a tech industry, they zeroed in on the fact that we needed to build capacity in-country.”
