EDITOR, The Tribune.
Today’s Tribune headline reads “Gov’t to GIVE Baha Mar $21 million”.
Notwithstanding that the subtitle correctly switches to the word PAY, one might easily be left thinking that we have a magnanimous government, rather than a debt defaulting one.
I believe that this sum was agreed and contracted for long ago, and the government has just been dragging its Christie feet on paying.
Perhaps if it had paid as agreed, the Chinese might not have walked away and the many Bahamian workers and subcontractors would not now be facing financial jeopardy. What a difference a word makes, only four little letters!
