Remember now, they only have to disclose their personal assets. So if they own companies it are part of family businesses or estates or the like, their actual net worth can be much more than they disclose.

and some people say that Bahamians have no money...

This is why most of them CANNOT relate to the plight and suffering of the average Bahamian... and quite frankly, don't even care.

I wonder if these securities are in Bahamian companies, these elite get to invest abroad for decades, once heard Minnis talking about his Apple stock, meanwhile they work together with the banks to block the average Bahamians from investing abroad and make it difficult for them with all their might.

LOL. This is always an entertaining part of the process. Chill everyone. Remember, these numbers are self-declared and not verified when reported.

So so many had a go at Brent Symonette for being a millionaire. Smacks of racism. Bear in mind Hank Johnson FNM incumbent MP is a self made businessman but not even close to being a millionaire as opposed to the three contendors. Just saying as so many seem to get wealthier once in offoce.

Of course, the whole purpose in being a politician is to enrich yourself and your family. They wouldn't do it otherwise.

They may be rich, but they still collect the Treasury mite and the allowances ...... And enjoy the perks of travel & board appointments

Negroes who were complaining about the white UBP Conchy Joe MPs of yesteryear.

I see former serial authorizer of PMH's — **no-bid maintenance contracts** — made the herein, hereto list but not the in close da runnin' as a serial authorizer of— **no-bidder maintenance contracts** — over at WSC? — Who was it said that you doesn't has to make this kind of Red stuffs up. — yes?

Remember this when you hear the excuse that there is no money. When the peasants are losing their jobs and wages are being cut. Check in to see if the Government officials will take a proportional pay cut as well. If you want to see change make a direct connection between performance and compensation. For example, the Minister of Education's compensation should be substantially connected to the nation's GPA. Set the base wage to minimum wage, after all, they believe it's a livable wage. Then define a bonus scale based on performance milestones.

Other appropriate performance metrics:
Minister of National Security - reduction in gun violence, murders, robberies
Minister of Health - mortality rates, wait times, obesity
Minister of Works - Service reliability (reduction in # of power and water outages), service quality
Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs - Case processing rates

The AG would be broke.

Those with money will always seek power.

So please judge for yourselves which party’s politicians would be more amenable to seeking bribes and kickbacks. One party’s politicians have earned their wealth through the dint of hard work. The other party’s politicians will attempt to earn their wealth through devious means.

Please do not forget what happened during the last PLP government.

Some folks enter politics to serve the nation while others enter politics to rip off the nation’s wealth.

The choice is clear.

Peter is no different than Paul in Bahamian politricks. Stop with the fake moral pose. If memory serves me well the richest man listed no longer pays import duties on the key machinery needed for his business. The dirt of hardwork my blk azz. Rich people are only interested in getting richer. And they wear, red, yellow, green and every color. The poor trying to get to the nation's bubby for theirs.

I know y’all will kick me for saying this but I don’t think a person with a reasonable home and reliable transportation should run for office at the minimum. My reasoning is can you effectively serve whilst hustling for something to eat or for your family. But I am reminded of Rodney Moncur, who served well as a senator and his financial disposition did not seem to be a hindrance. But, of course, Moncur lost both his home and vehicle to what was suspected to be political mischief and vengeance. And remember also a millionaire or multi millionaire, especially one who operates his own business, stand just as much chance of going bankrupt as someone with a nominal income. Sometimes they accumulate assets but their cash flow dries up so they have to sell off assets to pay bills. This happens to many athletes, artists and yes to drug dealers. They hit it big, then hit a dry spell so there is no income. Then there are people like Minnis, Davis, D’Aguilar, Munroe’, Dr Sandsetc., who have supplemental income from investments. And of course there was Travis Robinson, who was still a college student when he became elected, so it’s more about the person snd not necessarily their pockets. Now if someone goes into the parliament say worth $50,000, and comes out a millionaire or even a multi millionaire then what?

I would assume that the salaries high level government officials get should easily cover normal living expenses. Transparency and an independent watchdog is always key but unfortunately we ain't got any of those.

If **Truthbeout** — solid evidence would reflect that it is the rich who — **petty steals more than the poor.** — A best-kept well-hidden secret is that the head of a major group of businesses, a someone who is frequently profiled in business news reporting. — Oh, Yes — a someone. you'd quickly recognize the face and name but as someone associated with great business success but not as someone for being the — **prolific Shoplifting** — which but a very tiny circle has long known them over many, many years to be a practitioner — would shock living hell right out you, learn they identity — Yes?

These numbers cannot be correct and are.therefore a joke. What is the point of voting for people whom may have a non exclusive relationship with the truth?

Its funny how we fight to elect rich people to govern our affairs, when for the most part they have no understanding of the average Bahamian struggle. Complete lunacy!
