Perhaps he enlisted in Kenyan President Ruto's militia assigned and sponsored by the US government to restore order in Haiti. If so, we don't have to worry about him coming back to our country.

Good morning comrades on this Wayne Munroe headline news grabbing day...Asking, what be's with transitioning to the newer 'out on bail' monitoring company, Migrafill Security Group.--Surely the security minister has his usual intelligent defense that supported the transitioning.--Yes?

So out of all of those charges against this fella, none of them were serious enough to keep this guy in jail. There was such little evidence against this guy that a judge looked at it and actually said... 'yeah this guy doesn't pose a threat. He's probably a really nice fella'?

Other countries look at us and say the Bahamas is a paradise, yes for tourists, foreigners, and criminals. There is no way a person with those type of charges should be free to roam amongst others.

Why does it take 5 years for a case to get to court? That is the real question. if not we would not need this ankle thing. No really, why 5 years? can we not get the BS corporate white collar stuff out of the courts so they can deal with real crimes? oh, right, nevermind.

Quoting most Bahamian officials verbatim, does not exactly engender confidence in their professional abilities.
If they didn't get a reasonable grasp of basic English in primary school, what is the likelihood they can grasp slightly more difficult concepts and the language capabilities needed to perform their job?
Perhaps this was the intent of the reporter to highlight this conundrum.
Either way, some may suggest that we need to start this country over from square one, yes?

Lol I vas tinkin' da same ting.

Any monitoring system here that depends on the criminal charging his own monitoring device is doomed to fail. If these devices need charging every 3 days then the criminal needs to report to police every 3 days where they sit until their bracelet is fully charge. SIMPLE!!!

Commissioner Clayton Fernander, can obtain the answer for monitoring the **Out-on Bail.**--Whilst saving the Popoulaces'Purse, some serious money by just using **Paper Clips** for monitoring the **Out-on Bail.**--Yes?

The government's involvement frequently results in decisions influenced by personal connections rather than the best interests of the Bahamas and its citizens. Nepotism and favouritism often prevail, with individuals prioritizing the well-being of their friends, relatives, and close associates over public welfare. This issue is particularly evident in various sectors, such as awarding contracts intended to improve the Road Traffic Department (RTD). Crucial initiatives, including issuing vehicle plates and other measures to reduce fraud and implementing systems to detect and prevent unlicensed and uninsured vehicles, are often stalled by those with vested interests.

Despite the Prime Minister's declarations, progress is impeded by influential individuals within the system who benefit from maintaining the status quo. In positions to effect change, these individuals frequently interfere with their superiors' directives and operate with impunity. A similar situation is observable in the realm of monitoring systems. A simple search would reveal the most effective and widely used systems with local representation in the Bahamas. Nevertheless, these solutions are often disregarded because they do not align with the preferences of the entrenched establishment. This resistance persists despite the evident weaknesses and difficulties in rectifying current systems.

For example, the issue of monitored individuals being able to remove their bracelets would be significantly reduced if more widely used and effective systems were adopted. However, resistance to change and safeguarding personal interests continue to hinder the adoption of superior solutions, ultimately to the detriment of the Bahamian people and the efficacy of governance.

Absolutely correct!

Rid jailing we colony of out islands, cays, towns and settlements inhabitants' and redirect **just the first year's Billion Dollars** to constructing and equipping a new General Hospital in Nassau and new clinics on each of the out islands, cays, towns and settlements.... and fleet of ambulances' and no more need Out On Bail monitoring.--Yes?

"*Had that not been that a company, then there was gon’ be no alert*"

The previous company disputed this, they claimed to have evidence of notifications sent that the police did not act on.

"*Mr Reid said the response time to alerts must improve.*"

Exactly.

"*Orin Bethel, president of Metro Security Limited, argued similarly last year. He said his company sent SMS messages to the police about those breaching their bail conditions, but the police were slow to respond or did not respond at all.*"

"*Mr Reid said the police are working with Migrafil to “rectify” the response issue*"

Had this been another country it looks like Metro could sue for breech of contract. Maybe they could do it in this country if so inclined as the tampering hasnt stopped and the response time is still an issue, the sole reasons given for cancelling the contract.

I suspect that these arent random dummies tampering with these devices, just like the illegal guns and stolen cars that *disappear*, they may be working with someone with knowledge of the devices and the monitoring systems to remove them. Then others "hear" about methods to remove and try it themselves. Never heard anyone articulate this before, its a good theory clearly offering services to criminals in this country is a lucrative business.
