EDITOR, The Tribune.

GOOD morning Bahamas. I am a fellow Bahamian and small time contractor sitting right now in my truck on the dump site beginning to write this letter. I came out about an hour earlier and just completed clearing trash off my trailer by hand.

While clearing the trailer, I have watched as others came with their small dump truck and just dumped off their trash and left while I am still pulling with my hands.

My problem is that I need to buy a small dump truck to make my life and work a little more easier. But this foolish policy of banning all vehicles over ten years old, implemented by the last PM, that we helped kick to the ground in the May election, is hurting me and many others that want to purchase a truck that we can afford.

I am still to this day wondering what is the rhyme or reason for such a decision. Did he take on, all by himself, the problem of solving “global warming” by banning said vehicles?

To my new and improved PM, sir, we beg you to look at this asinine policy implemented by that dinosaur of a former PM and repeal this law. I need to purchase a dump truck that I can afford without becoming a slave to some foreign bank elitist.
