Monday afternoon, for the third time in a week, the residents of Cable Beach and other areas of Nassau, were without power.<\/p>\n
This, depsite assurances from the Chairman of the Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC), Michael Moss who told newspapers less than a month ago that there would be sufficient power for the summer months.<\/p>\n
The incompetence at BEC is legendary.\u00a0 From the top down, there are people who should be fired but keep their jobs due to corruption and cronyism.<\/p>\n
It was only last month that BEC apologised for the inconvenience caused to homes and businesses across New Providence during power cuts.<\/p>\n
The company said they were undergoing a major overhaul of diesel generators in an effort to prepare for the increased demand for electricity during the hot summer months.<\/p>\n
“Once the overhauls are complete, BEC expects to have more than sufficient generating capacity and the reliability to meet the expected summer demand,” a spokesman for BEC reported in a statement at that time.<\/p>\n
It is a pity that the governing politicans are so afraid of losing the votes of the incompetent employees at BEC, that they refuse to do what nthey should have done years ago.<\/p>\n
Fire the fools or privatise the company.<\/p>\n
Now, the people need to act by firing the politcians.<\/p>\n
It ain’t long now… before elections come and, for the first time since independence, the voters will speak with a thunderous voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
