Comrades! What in the hell is with this nonsense that that you are not prepared to release the names of the PUBIC OFFICIALS OFFENDERS who have failed to file financial disclosures?
i have long been demanding to know why and how anyone required file financial disclosures can get away with not filing as required, and not a single prime minister have taken action.... Maybe it has something do with the PM's themselves, haven't always followed the financial disclosure rules.
Just because you're no longer in office, doesn't mean you can continue to avoid the filing of any and all mandatory yearly disclosures you failed to file whilst in office.
There can be no excuses for not filing as required by the law. Your asses should be promptly arrested, charged, tried and if found guilty - sent to jail for 2-years.... and it shouldn't matter the colours your political parties t-shirts.

Clear as can be Comrade!!!

Comrade DDK, maybe you better understand why I turn to my morning Whisky - cause it makes me want testify about such lawlessness going on by our government officials - elected and appointed - and in full sight right under the watchful eyes of more than one
Rt. Honourable Prime Minister.
PM Minnis, it's your turn see what action you will take - right after you stop being a major landlord to the very government you head.

This seems like a no brainer. You can't be nominated if you don't have a declaration. Easy. As to senior officials there should be an equally onerous disincentive for not declaring. No increments, no promotions, no perks and for each year without declaration they get demerits, things are removed.

Comrade Public Disclosure Commission Chairman Myles Laroda, if you give me a complete list of the names of the financial disclosures LAW BREAKERS - I can call CRIME STOPPERS hotline in Toronto, Canada - and collect a ton of REWARD MONIES for turning the culprits in.
I swear to my Sweet Jesus, I will make the call to Toronto Canada!

Minnis should be immediately directing the Public Disclosure Commission Chairman to publish in one or more editions of the local newspapers the names of all those politicians, whether they be FNM or PLP, who were noncompliant with their disclosure requirements at anytime during the five years preceding the recent general election. The public has a right to know who they are and Minnis has repeatedly promised his government would be the most transparent one the Bahamas has ever had. Well Dr. Minnis, it's high time for you to start making good on your transparency commitment. After all, as you so very fondly like to put it: "It's the people's time!" That being the case, get on with naming and shaming all of these present and past politicians who obviously do not respect and abide by the rule of law. We have every right to know who they are, even though several of them now hold key positions within your own government.

Comrade Well_mudda-take-cic, why limit to 5-years. I say we take down ALL financial disclosures OFFENDERS. To limit to just the previous 5-years is to play politics with the law.

Comrades! Corruption [was] and [will] exist!
In the Bahamaland - it's considered similar to how a well run franchise operates.... In short order everybody will soon know how much you have to pay and to whom?
Some the people red connected - actually may have been the original inventors the
'under-da-table' franchise payment system. The biggest difference between the PLP's and Reds, is the reds knows how to better manage it on a scale that no PLP {well almost no PLP] have ever been able to enjoy - and not show-off as much.
Amen!

The FNM promised transparency and accountability ............ Let us start with the Public Disclosure Office ........ Mr. Minnis, please publish the names of ALL of the offenders of the past FIVE years ............ Let the chips fall where they may ...... And loose the handcuffs of this Office as well, and let it hold the MPs accountable instead of having to get permission from the OPM

Anyone who doesn't disclose needs to be immediately removed as an MP. If they don't follow the rules then they can't hold the position. Mr. Minnis, you need to get this straightened out once and for all. NO MORE BS FROM OUR ELECTED LEADERS!

They should pass further legislation that requires senior Civil Servants to give a full disclosure as well.

It presently exists ......... It is not enforced beyond parliamentarians

Comrades! PM MInnis reveals he is investigating and auditing this and that.... But it seems by his silence he done made it clear that the "4th" Red Regime - have no intention of enforcing the Financial Disclosure Law..... And, regardless how long it been since you were legally required to file. 'It's the People's Time' - has plenty of time wait to see Justice done to all offenders the law on the books that carries a 2 -years jail-time penalty up at Fox Hill.
Red MP's done tripping over each other to duck-out on 5-years open government 'Transparency' promises whilst in opposition.... It has only taken them 21 days in office - before they done started raising their red pants legs to pee all over the - It's the People's Time.'

The most important problem with corruption in The Bahamas has always been the the complicity of the Opposition in turning a blind eye to corruption within the Government of the day. This Minnis FNM Government must do exactly what they said and expose corruption wherever they find it, and really, yes REALLY!, let the law prosecute the offenders exactly as tthe law prescribes. There can be no more turning a blind eye to the misdeeds of politicians who steal. The wheeling and dealing between the new and the old administrations must stop, once and for all.
