Nassau, Bahamas - Enclosed is a Press Statement by

The Progressive Liberal Party.

The Progressive Liberal

attention of the residences of New Providence.

The Jr. Minister Phenton Neymour has failed to tell the public that
only two generators no's 12 and 13 are operational at the Clifton Power

lack of preventative maintenance and mechanical overhaul of Generators
is the major factor for the dire straits in which BEC currently finds
itself...
