The Families for Justice Organization, supports the Coalition for Concerned Citizens Regarding the resent Power Disconnection of all Public Schools that was executed by the Power Company in Grand Bahama this week.

It is our view, that no Public Schools in Grand Bahama, should have been disconnected by the Power Company. The Government of the Bahamas have allowed Millions of Dollars in Concessions over the years that the Power Company have benefited from.

If the Government were to request, for a Public Audit on behalf of the Grand Bahama Community. The Public would discover, that Millions of Dollars in Concessions over the years have been allowed to the Power Company, which is a Foreign company doing Business in the Grand Bahama Community. It is the Organizations view, that any Corporate Citizens Foreign  or  Domestic  which have received Concessions from the Government of the Bahamas must treat the Grand Bahama  Community with dignity and respect.  

For the Power Company to Disconnect  the Power to all Public Schools,  in our Community,  is an Insult to the Community and the Government of the Bahamas. Our  Organization  expect the Government to protect  the interest of the Grand Bahama Community.

There is No Place in the Bahamas, Where the Concessions by the Government is very high and have been legislated for so many Years
That a Foreign investor can enjoy the benefits, Such as Bonded vehicles, Real Property Tax, Equipment's Bonded, Office Supplies and Furniture Bonded, and  most of all  Bonded Fuel.

The Government of the Bahamas needs to act, and act know for the welfare of all Grand Bahamians so that this action by the Power Company Never Happens again.
