Why doesn’t someone responsible have the exterior walls of Government House pressure washed to clean them and make us proud of the building and surrounding walls? I am in Athens , Greece now, and their government buildings are beautifully painted and clean....(although graffiti is rampant)... Where can we start to instill some pride in the few colonial buildings left in New Providence?

The yearly salary for occupant atop Mount Fitzwilliam is but $37,500 which is halved upon retirement. Let's hope Minnis, doesn't leave Comrade Sister Maurgurite be without wheels as was case when Papa Hubert, ordered that the little car assigned former PM Pindling to be repossessed by tow truck leaving the Pindlings to have resort hitchhiking makes their ways around and abouts Nassau the Colony's capital Out Island, yes, no.......fair say each and every governor-general served Out Islanders with dignity and respectability...... (well almost but only time see how Colony's first "self-appointed" GG does performs).
