Response to Fred Mitchell
This letter is in response to Fred Mitchell, former Fox Hill MP.
Why press on with NHI?
IMAGINE a family, strapped for funds considering a loan to take care of certain obligations.
Why is Baltron Bethel at work?
THE Minnis administration is batting 1,000 with respect to announcements that forensic audits will be conducted at NIB, Urban Renewal, BAIC, BAMSI and other government run agencies.
