Mr Munroe also said more CCTV is needed on New Providence. We haven’t gotten much product in exchange for that vast payment and we are currently investigating to get to the bottom of what has happened,” Mr Munroe said. “This drone programme, we have paid out a lot, a lot of money. The Minnis administration had signed a $17m contract with California-based Swift Systems. Mr Munroe also said he is still investigating his predecessor’s acquisition of drone technology. The past administration was spending public funds for a product that was designed to track people and ensure that they stay in quarantine and they chose not to use it for whatever reason.” The Minister of Health Dr Darville is keen on using it and we expect shortly to at least roll out and use the 100 units that we pay seven thousand some amount for. There would be a base set and if the tag moved out of the base set it would be an alarm and the person would be geotagged to an area in which they were to quarantine. “That was abandoned in exchange for what is in effect a tagging system where there would be a little tag, almost like what you see the hotels put on the individual.

“Hubbcat,” Mr Munroe said, “was the beginning model with apps on your phone but all one needs to know is that I have three cell phones and I can let you put the app on any one of them and when you call me someone just needs to answer my phone. It was expected that the software would be installed on a person’s phone, enabling tracking services.

Initially, the Minnis administration planned to monitor people in quarantine using digital technology provided by Hubbcat Solution. “So during this COVID emergency, the Bahamian people have so far paid about $70,000 to track persons who ought to be in quarantine without it being deployed at all,” he told reporters during a press conference at the Office of the Prime Minister yesterday. He said the contract for the product expires in March. He said the Davis administration believes the devices, brought in by the Minnis administration, are useful and will be deployed to help track people who should be in quarantine. Tribune Senior Security Minister Wayne Munroe revealed that the government has been paying $7,000 per month for COVID-19 tracking devices that have never been used.
