How sad that after abandoning its responsibility over five years:<\/p>\n
\u2022 To refurbish and upgrade Accident and Emergency at PMH and build a new critical care block as well as a new child and geriatric ward at Sandilands;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To improve and build new roads and decrease traffic congestion;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To upgrade outdated utilities;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To provide better access to clean\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0water and better water pressure;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To revitalize downtown Nassau;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To remove the port from downtown and start construction of a new port;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To build a new Straw Market;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To dredge Nassau Harbour to accommodate the world’s largest cruise ships;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To improve the quality of parks and recreational areas;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To build a new Saunders Beach park;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To beautify and keep clean New Providence;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To begin construction on the new National Stadium;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To commence the transformation of the Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre;<\/p>\n
\u2022 To start construction on the new Lynden Pindling International Airport; and<\/p>\n
\u2022 To complete the construction of or refurbish new courts, among many other projects, that the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) now begrudges the Bahamian people an improvement in their quality of life.<\/p>\n
Not only will the government’s transformation and modernization program improve the lives of every Bahamian the opposition pretends to care about, it will also help to revitalize our economy and tourism sector.<\/p>\n
The modernization program is also providing jobs for scores of Bahamians and opportunities for small businesses the PLP neglected during its last term.<\/p>\n
It was the FNM that concluded an agreement to build Baha Mar including considerably more contracts for Bahamian small, medium-sized and larger contractors as well as skills training for Bahamian workers. With the improved and successfully completed agreement with Baha Mar, thousands of jobs will come on stream and the various infrastructural projects alone have employed approximately 850 Bahamians.<\/p>\n
The opposition is so stunned at the amount of work that can be done in a single term that it is desperately trying to ignore what every Bahamian can see with their eyes: New Providence is being transformed into a world-class capital island. Instead of being happy for the Bahamian people, the opposition is angry and upset that what is good for the Bahamian people is bad for their political fortunes.<\/p>\n
