How exactly can you clear 500 acres of forest, in a densely populated place, over the course of nearly a year, and authorities are still searching for the culprits?

Exactly!

The blind leading the blind!!

If the law says land can be granted, even sold or leased but Government for decades has only released it for the politically connected, or by whim of a minister, what other result could you expect? Laws must be obeyed from the top down and enforced unilaterally or the country falls apart.
Tribal rule is loved by those in good favor, despised by those not, but we flip those positions every 5 years and seem satisfied.

Perfect example is what is going on right now in British Virgin Islands (saying that don't want UK take-over, would rather have theft). That's us in 10 years with the way our kids are being raised.

Just another big issue that no government cares to deal with. So again the laws are ignored by those in charge.
In our Bahamas all you have to do to get away with ANYTHING is to say you're poor. Sickening!

Well , if you lack the manpower, go to NIB because it has millions of people walking around aimlessly with no work to do and overstaffed. Take some employees from there ghat are paid with our money. Every govermental ag3ncy is grossly over staffed, yet the complaint is, we do not have enough people. Confusing, very confusing.

"“Firstly, Crown land is not a part of the Ministry of Environment, but..."

**** Oh cool !!! So now I know where I can dump my old oil when I change the oil in my car. This is good news for me - thank you sir.

" I’ve entertained the thoughts of acting in a similar manner. I decided not to, it was not in the best interest of the country. The best way to do it was to abide by the process...."

Okay - the best interest of the country is to "abide by the process" of Haitians taking away OUR land acre by acre and keep our mouths shut and do nothing. Ok, I hear ya. I wonder if you deal with all of your personal problems that way. Do you ever take a bath if you smell stink? Just asking.

"Obviously that’s a violation of the grant, that’s a violation of the conditions of a grant and this problem is a vexing one....."

Oh - ok - so It's a violation - but there is NOTHING you can do about it, like take the land back. Oh ok. Are there any violations that Bahamians are allowed to make without consequence? Please let me know that we have at least ONE.

"I fully understand it, but I cannot condone the breaking of the laws, I cannot condone the illegal occupation....."

Okay - so you can't condone it if it's Bahamians doing it - we understand.

"Mr Miller, however, said there is concern that the ministry lacks the manpower needed to properly enforce such laws....."

Again, are there any OTHER laws that we and the Haitians can break due to your lack of manpower???? Breaking laws can sometimes be fun - let us know so we can have some fun this weekend. What about destroying other people's property? I have a nasty neighbor I would like revenge on. Can I destroy his property and get away with it because you don't have manpower? I won't do anything until I get the go ahead from you. Thanks for any assistance.

Seriously, though, we as Bahamians need to get a list from government of all the laws we are allowed to break, or if none, then a list of all the other nationalities in the world and which laws each of them are allowed to break - that way we don't get frustrated and upset and people doing things that they are actually entitled to do.

I fear this country is doomed, people behaving selfishly everywhere you look, their children will reap what they sow, and it wont be pretty.

Just such sad state of affairs, everyone just passing the buck. But passing the buck is a way of life in a bureaucracy such as ours.

Vaughn Miller is from Green Castle, South Eleuthera ........... anyone familiar with that part of the island knows that there are THOUSANDS of acres of land there for free.

Miller needs to go back to his island home and build that up ........ like another 150,000 people who claim to be from Nassau, but are from other islands ............. GO HOME!!!!!!!

Now, the bigger issue for the Government to address is - the illegal Haitians in shanty towns who are squatting on Crown Land along Carmichael Road, Marshall, & Cowpen Roads etc. .......... They need to be SENT HOME!!!!!!

It all comes down to employment. Employers need to do one month in jail for every one they are found employing. Some building contractors would be sentenced to 2 years or more.

Where do you propose Snake should go? LMAO

Good question about Snake ............... he will soon become an anaconda wrapped around the Government (PLP or FNM) ........ He's out of control.

The fuel imports, and now the low-cost home sub-division monopolies are too much to give to one man/conglomerate. Snake & Sebas own our politicians.

didn't have much respect for this guy before. Now I have none at all. Say what? And why is there not a proper system for how Crown land is dealt with? What's that now? Oh, there is one and it involves either sweethearts or large campaign contributions. Ever heard about the sweet deal Ping's sweetheart ended up with? talk about rags to riches.

Comrades, if all this makes total sense to you, well ... it just goes-to ... ..
unless such a mentality held by a crown minister does affects me ... then haven't you just worsen an already bad situation by adding bitterness fuel to light a path to reconciliation, truth, and justice for an extremely large sector PopoulacesOfVictims ... singled out by ministerial recklessly loose tongue. ― Yes?

Put Vaughn up next to Clint and see who gets the prize for verbosity and Talking Suit of The Year.

@Comradethemess, **you think** PLP MP Vaughn P. Miller's Golden Isles constituents are now sizing up ... was everything they heard from the 2021 election candidate, **real or a slogan,** ― Yes?

Don’t let Crown Land exploitation and land grabbing go the way of crime and murder especially. Errybody doing it!
