The opposition Progressive Liberal Party is questioning the allocation of some $25 million for Grand Bahama that was certainly not a talking point in the 2018 Budget Debate in the House of Assembly. However the Party said the amount somehow made its way in the Senate when the fiscal plan was debated in the Upper House last week.
“We are requesting that the government provide more details of their financial involvement in this secret so called private public partnership,” says Party leader Philip Davis.
“We need to know the beneficial owners of the entities involved and how this deal proposes to revitalize Grand Bahama,” he said.
Mr. Davis, said the party is also looking very closely at the concessions outlined in the new Oban Deal; which it contends is a scam, only enriching shadowy figures the government refuses to make public.
