Who in their right mind would vote again for these law breaking MP's? This same topic has come up again and again and these same fools say "they forgot"; "I'm not sure, let me check"; "I ga do it today"; "I ga do it this week". No wonder there is so much sympathy for the murderer's among us. All they need to tell the judge is "I ga stop"; "I ain't gon' do it again". Our MP's and judges have so much dirt on them they can't possibly point fingers at others. Our country is like one big fat criminal organization from top to bottom, side to side. Which governmental gang do you vote for?

Comrades talk about MP's on both sides da House of Assembly practicing Voodoo Economics where you tax the hell out of the poor peoples while you run your mouths while dodging a $10,000 fine or 2 years up at Her Majesty's Fox Hill Prison. The poor needs scrap together enough dollars to buy one them dolls that can give them some that Voodoo religious economics protection. Minnis says he doesn't care who it is, if the have not filed their Financial Disclosure Statements, da poloceman's need arrest them and the judge should sent them up to Her Majesty's Fox Hill Prison. But I guess you can run for the leadership of the red shirts, from ya jail cell? So much for the party who so loves calling for harsh jail sentences?

The arrogance of these politicians is beyond the pale. They treat the electorate with utter contempt with their unwillingness to abide by the laws of the land and then we wonder why The Bahamas is such a lawless country? We ask perfectly legitimate questions of our politicians such as how much will NHI cost to implement and we are told by Shane Gibson to effectively mind our own business, that we will be told all in good time. I guess we have to mind our own business too with his non-declaration under the Public Disclosure Act? Why do Bahamians continue to re-elect politicians who disregard our rights like this? It's akin to a wife who continually returns to an abusive husband. Why don't we respect ourselves more and kick these abusers out of the House?

I must laugh at the concerns expressed by Greg Moss about his privacy. You want privacy Mr. Moss, then don't run for public office! I haven't heard Mr. Moss speak out about any concerns he may have about Bahamian voters being spied on by our very own NSA in addition to the U.S. NSA. Nor has Mr. Moss expressed any concern about all of the banking information of non-American Bahamian men and women that will be turned over to the IRS under FATCA by his fellow MP Ryan Pinder just because their spouse is a U.S. citizen residing with them here in the Bahamas and they happen to have one or more Bahamian dollar joint bank accounts. Mr. Moss needs to be less concerned about his own privacy rights being trampled on (as a public figure) and much more concerned about the egregious violations of the privacy rights of everyday non-American Bahamians.

Exactly - his assets, liabilities and income both in and out of The Bahamas are not private to him anymore, and must be disclosed by law. If he doesn't want the public to know that information, resign from Parliament and then his privacy in that regard can be returned to him.

You cannot get your own house and files in order but you are in charge of thousands of constituents and government funds? Please sweep in front of your own front door so to speak, before you can stand on your high horse and make demands of us and impose taxes on us. I am not asking for perfection from my MP's, just less hypocrisy. So what will be the consequences?

They so covet the power of office, but undermine the very structure that provides for their existence.
Yes, we will vote for them again and again, because most of us follow their horrible example.
No matter the tribal colors you wear,
we all bear responsibility for our own demise.
Throw the rules out and see how well things turn out, as we are already more than halfway there.

Agree with all of the above comments............. monkey see monkey do. Lead by example from Perry right on down.

Yes, the Haitian votes are well influenced positioned but will not be the deciding factor, come 2017. Comrades I have never been one to buy into the suggestion that Bahamalanders are divided up between supporting the red and gold shirts. It is blatantly disingenuous statements made by politicians from both sides of the House of Assembly that will motivate the "silent majority" to become vocal. NO political party can win anything, if it can not win over the votes of the real deciding factor come 2017, the votes of the silent Bahamalanders. They showed up at the polling stations to remove PM Christie in 2007 and Papa in 2012.

Hello!!! Where is the never failing Judiciary? Are All Public Prosecutors on vacation?

as chicken little would say, ""Help, help, the sky is falling!".

Maybe with the new Englishman in charge at the Tribune, the reds may be on verge of losing their main newspaper's mouthpiece? Maybe the Tribune is about to turn "Super Value" Green? Wow, my dear Comrades with this revelation by the Tribune this is the very first time both reds and gold shirts politicians, are receiving equal billing at the peoples smack'in bench. This is good ... like juicy good.

Bring Hubert Ingraham back.

At least we know for sure he hates Bahamians, is a certified nut job and not to expect anything sensible out of him!

Looks like the "Little Naked Emperor" passed his challis of wacko coolaid around the PLP before running for the bush whence he came.

If the lawmakers can ignore and break the law, how the hell can they expect the common people to follow and abide by the law that they themselves flaunt and ignore?

Put them in jail until they comply. Treat contempt with contempt. Let's see how arrogant they are after a few nights in Fox Hill.

(And before General Crazy gets in a tizzy -- I mean ALL of them -- I don't care what party they represent. Lawbreakers are lawbreakers. Period.)

Let's be honest after having all this information then what. This is a futile waste of time. Read the laws about disclosure it still left in the hands of the PM. This just a smokescreen to give us some sort of semblance to a Freedom of Info Act. After finding out how much an MP is worth then what? How will this information help us?

Agreed.......... all it does is make them a further target for criminals or desperate beggars. The only thing that I am concerned about is how can an MP starts off with five-figure worth and after five years declare seven-figures?????? and they cry about having to pay constituents' bills, run office, pay staff and generals, run constituency programmes etc?????? So how do they increase their net worth based on these MP salaries?????

This is but a small part of the transparency we lack,
historically since 1968 these filings also show questionable enrichment in office for many.
None have ever ben prosecuted, which ads to the problem and the air of immunity they so blatantly enjoy at our expense.
Questioning these requirements also show just how ill suited to public office some are.

The M.P's are a law unto themselves and they DO NOT CARE. They are failures in real life who are parasite's of the Nation. Is it ant wonder this country is such a FAILURE! Look at the CLOWNS that run this joke of a country.

Anyone can you volunteer any of our leaders for the Most Honest Politician Award?????

There have been hundreds of MPs and Senators since Independence ..... a large pool of candidates to choose from....... LOL

Swept under the rug?
