WARNING OF HOME INSURANCE PRICE HIKE
By NEIL HARTNELL Tribune Business Editor nhartnell@tribunemedia.net BAHAMIAN households and businesses were yesterday warned insurance premiums could increase “across the board” by 15-20 percent this year as underwriters pull back from covering waterfront and Family Island risks. Brokers spoken to by Tribune Business confirmed that The Bahamas faces “a hard market” for hurricane insurance and other property and casualty-related coverage as global reinsurers adjust to the multi-billion dollar losses inflicted by Hurricane Dorian and similar storms throughout Florida and the Caribbean in recent years.
Father in tears as claims made of hospital negligence By JADE RUSSELL jrussell@tribunemedia.net. AN investigation has been launched into the death of Kenise Darville, a mother-of-three who died days after posting a heart wrenching video on Facebook about the alleged negligence and poor healthcare she experienced at Princess Margaret Hospital. The video has gone viral, amassing nearly 200,000 views up to press time. Her mourning family is now demanding answers surrounding the circumstances of her death and has called for changes in the public healthcare system.
Health and Wellness Minister Dr Michael Darville on Friday said that an investigation was underway. “I was familiar with the case,” he told The Tribune. “I’ve seen the posting on social media, and instructed the Princess Margaret Hospital and the Public Hospitals Authority to do an immediate investigation into the allegations. I’m certain that is already being done. And in short order, the PHA and Princess Margaret Hospital will be issuing a statement once all the factual information has been obtained.” SEE PAGES TWO & THREE

MINNIS: WE HAVE AN IMMIGRATION CRISIS By JADE RUSSELL jrussell@tribunemedia.net
FORMER Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis yesterday urged the Davis administration to get a grip on illegal immigration, saying “we are now experiencing an immigration crisis”. “We are now experiencing an immigration crisis just as we are experiencing a crime crisis. And Bahamians are now becoming extremely frustrated and
DR HUBERT MINNIS the Prime Minister must take control of this and lead. The government must present a plan as to how
they’re going to deal with the immigration problems,” Dr Minnis told The Tribune. He said issues of immigration range from the unregulated shanty towns to the oversaturated number of work permits being given. “The shanty town seems to be growing even more. We need to note the number of work permits and the number of visas that individuals are obtaining in Haiti to visit The Bahamas,” he said. SEE PAGE FOUR
