Commissioner Greenslade can very well do a lot if he chooses to, in respect of the Web shops. If he really wants to he can send some trusted Police offices there and buy numbers with marked money and find out for sure if they're gambling Illegally. He chooses to be a patsy and a foot stool for the Christie govt. and thereby cannot even seem to do the job that the people of the Bahamas are paying him for. It's not about being dictated to, it's about upholding the law and showing the people of the Bahamas that you don't have a yellow line down the middle of your back. I believe you do,and you're afraid of all the' little nothings that are doing all this nonsense in our Land. Grow a spine Commissioner

It seems like the Web shops have paid off everyone. This is like the the drug days of the 80s when the cartels had the government and police on lock.
At least the drug boys pleaded not guilty and denied being drug boys. But these numbers boy are admitting and have admitted to these crimes publicly and continue to spit in the face of the law.
These guys should be arrested, taken to criminal court and the criminal courts should decide if they have committed crimes.
Commissioner I have now lost all faith in you and the police force. This is exactly why the country is in the crime ridden state it is in!
You did not have to open an investigation to lock up Flowers in 2009.
Stop using the business license thing as an excuse: I have a license for a pharmacy does that mean that I can now sell cocaine to the public?!
Commission please get off you yellow back side and do you job or step down!

A land of not being held accountable is what we have on our hands, what will we come to in the next 4 yrs? is the question? Fire him won't work because no one in Government from Chrisite down has the concern of the people at hand. Does anyone know how we the people can have a vote of no confidence and call an early election? I sure would like to know so I can start the process myself. I have no horse in the race other than MY BAHAMAS.

Looks like the law has spoken and denied the appeal...The Commish better get cracking and enforce the LAW...no more waiting necessary.

As long as he gets his payday from the number shops he will not take action just run his mouth. High crime ships telling visitors that high crime in nassau so stay on the ship. We need a new commissioner now

I love the Commissioner. Lolol He's correct when he said "We have to be very careful. If a person in the Bahamas requests a business license, not from the commissioner and it is duly granted and their fees are paid and they indicate what it is that they are going into business to do, they employ people and they pay their contributions, whatever that business is, the Commissioner has no right to turn up and shut the door. There is no law that gives me that right."

#“However, whatever that business is, if that person allows an illegal activity to take place on his or her premises, I have a right in law to do something about it.

#“But here is my position. No one has the right to tell me what date, and what time and who and how. It cannot happen. It will not happen... that can’t happen. That is an insult to our intelligence and it cannot happen. It cannot happen and the Bahamian public must hear me say it, it cannot happen."
