Speaking in Parliament, MP for Elizabeth Ryan Pinder blasted the government over its terrible record of providing reliable public utilities. Pinder noted that a fundemental responsibility of any government is to provide the necessities essential for a society to function.<\/p>\n
Although there are many narrow-minded Bahamians who still think in terms of an FNM or PLP government, wise Bahamians know that government is government, no matter whch selfish political party is at the helm.<\/p>\n
Once a party is handed the reigns of power, it becomes the Government of the Bahamas, constitutionally mandated to represent ALL Bahamians, not just the ones that belong to their political party.<\/p>\n
The probems that Mr Pinder points out are problems that have existed under successive governments – both FNM and PLP.<\/p>\n
Mr Pinder is correct when he says that the Bahamas, for decades, has had a “government that cannot provide safe transportation, that cannot supply consistent and clean water and that cannot provide a basis for consistent electricity.”<\/p>\n
The PLP MP made mention of the many traffic lights that do not function, creating a dangerus situation all across the Island of New Providence.<\/p>\n
Inconsistent power supply, power outages, sudden electrical surges and the exhorbitant cost of electricty were also cited as examples of an inept government that poses a danger to Bahamian society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
