Minister of Works and Transport the Honourable Earl Deveaux is Deacon Lloyd's guest on Issue of the Day today.
He said that he agrees with the statement made by Sen. Hon Frederick McAlpine in the Senate a few weeks ago where he charged that the PLP government's issuing of construction contracts in the days leading up to the May 2nd general election amounted to economic evil for political gain.
Mr. Deveaux specifically spoke about the contract in Celina Point Acklins where a $3M contract was awarded to a PLP to build a new school. Mr. Deveaux said that the FNM government has cancelled that contract and devised a new plan to make improvements to the existing school which will include a new computer lab and library, for the much lower cost of $600K+. He said this will make the same amenities and opportunities available to the student in Celina Point, that are now available to other students throughout the Bahamas.
$3m versus $600K......das a big difference. Boy, lemme tell you, I glad I vote FNM.
Additionally, he said that they are not building that dam expensive straw market the PLP was gon spend $30m on. Hallelujah!!! Every sensible level headed Bahamian know we can't afford that. Give the straw vendors a comfortable, clean space to do business in. Leave the building of shopping malls to the private sector!
