Comrades we will do just fine provided there are no requirement for examining how Bahamaland's governments have functioned since the days of Comrade Stafford and his gang of Bay Street looters?

Why is it that just about every time you comment you need to deflect the issue at hand? Are you purposely trying to draw attention away from the actions of the present looters?

And BTW are you aware that, when those that you refer to were unseated, the Public Treasury was actually flush with funds? That is to say we didn't start running a deficit until the PLP bandits came to power.

True there was $22 million in peoples public treasury and accounts payables were current. But they had just given away Kelly Island, and if you were Black or dark skinned, citizen or tourist you were not allowed to go with your fellow church members to the Grand Central Restaurant or any other whites only establishment. Did you forget the gates closing-off Freeport from the rest Grand Bahama? In case you forget or were too young - the gates were erected because after sundown, if you were a worker (domestic of course cause there were no other jobs for black Bahamalanders) you were required to have exited Freeport after dark. Remember Comrade when there was a black beach section for Bahamalanders and a white section for all who had enough balls pass for white? Would you give up all enjoyed today for the return of the $22 million? We still need retake every single beach across Bahamaland. Ain't no damn such thing as a private beach in we Bahamaland.

Sweet Jesus... we need this.

We all know that it will be near impossible for Bahamians to force the government to implement proper controls. Hopefully this review forces the Government to take action.

Bring it on!

The Tribune's headline to this article should have read: "Anti-Corruption Investigators Need to Examine Christie".

I hope that the OAS have the right to go into each licensed banking institution and gain access to all bank accounts held in the name of, or with signing authority of, each and every MP. There is no reason why this access would not be granted as the MP have a duty under law to provide similar information each and every year to the Bahamian people.

I also hope that the OAS review each and every contract issued by the Government and follow the flow of funds to their final resting place. These $20+ million overruns on building contracts SCREAM of corruption.

I am sure that they will also look to campaign financing and how all that cash got into all those t-shirts at all those rally's.

its funny how even the PM feels compelled to mention the Gaming Bill in the same sentences as the Corruption assessment. How about Renew Bahamas, housing projects, BOB? But it seems the Gaming bill really has it all for a perfect storm.

THE Organisation of American States will be VERY FRUSTRATED trying to determine the Bahamas compliance with anti-corruption measures.

First questions Christie will be unable to answer sensibly are:

1) WHY a Freedom Of Information Act has not been implemented

2) WHY would it take these jokey clowns another two years to get it done?

There are no reasonably acceptable answers to either question.

Christie is caught red handed doing stupidness.....AGAIN!

The OAS needs to examine corruption in GOVERNMENT, that is where our problem is. The political elite, certain civil servants, and their crony's are the one's that need a bright light shined on them. They say where there is smoke there is fire, well Mr. OAS there is plenty smoke coming from the set just mentioned, they are killing this country!

I ask that everyone that reads this message write an email to the Organisation of American States and inform them of how corrupt our Bahamian Government is. It seems that the Government is very good at covering up in front of these organisations. Write them and inform them of:
1. No Freedom of Information Act;
2. The breaking of a legally constituted Referendum;
3. The wasted funds on the road projects and BAMSI;
4. The selling of the majority ownership in BTC, a billion dollar company, for 80 million dollars and payment of finders fees;
5. The refusal to reveal the PM's findings on the MP that signed a letter of intent without the approval of Cabinet;
6. Non existent campaign finance laws that allowed numbers men to buy out the Government;
7. The conflict of interest of having the head of BEC owe hundreds of thousands of unpaid electricity bills.
We Bahamians must be saved from the gross tyranny that is both the PLP and FNM governments. Both governments have loaded the people's money into their own pockets. Only external forces can save us and hold accountable those crooks that inhabit our highest offices.

I hope they are reviewing the NSA tapes starting from now....

More bad news. <img src="http://s04.flagcounter.com/mini/kfoW/bg…" style="display:none">

Even HAITI has surpassed the Bahamas in the fight against public and private corruption.

Martelly, who took office in May 2011, solemnly signed into law, about four months ago, an anti-corruption bill that provides for tougher punitive measures against those involved with corruption in the public administration or in the private sector.

The US government -- through the special coordinator for Haiti at the State Department, Thomas Adams -- acknowledged last year that the Martelly/Lamothe government had taken more action to fight corruption than any of its predecessors.

MEANWHILE......Christie continue to duck a FOIA and cannot pronounce "anti-corruption
bill".

My final question.....

How will AOS determine if and where proceeds of corruption were received and kept in offshore accounts?

These guys are mostly slick lawyers well versed in under the table deals.

Here is link to AOS site for people interested in voicing their concerns and contacting the organization. At the bottom of the page is a link to the directory of people. http://www.oas.org/en/default.asp. Also they are on Facebook too.....here is link. https://www.facebook.com/OASofficial for those interested in holding the government accountable!

Awesome! Great work! Let's assist the movement of bringing change. It's high time the politicians who believe becoming elected is a "license to steal" are erased off our Bahamas map.

Start with recommending transparency and highlighting the spending and debt please OAS.

Who really thinks the ex-drug lawyers we have as leaders don't know how to cover their tracks ?
We have no one to blame but ourselves .
