That is the view of the Bahamas and Bahamians held by some caribbean persons.

Police brutality is common place in this country. Being a hypocrital,self-righteous country,Bahamians don't talk about it much in public. They however are well-aware of it.

Congratulations to Chief Jones. My relatives went to school with him at S.C Mcpherson and A.F.Adderley.

He use to live through Kim's Crescent off Blue Hill Road.My relatives use to walk pass that corner on their way to and from school.

The cabinet reshuffle is nothing special. The cabinet is too large. Governance won't improve.

The Governor General represents the head of state, King Charles 111. Civics is not taught in the Bahamas like so many things. Bahamians do not understand their system of government.

Jamaica which has been independent since 1962 has only had five governor-generals. They had about two acting. Their current governor-general Sir Patrick Allen has served since 2009.The previous governor general Sir Kenneth Hall only served for the three years. he resigned his post because of ill health. He told every body he could not continue in his post because of his poor health. He was not forced out by any political party.

Bahamians are not politically mature enough to have any sensible discussion on changes to this current system of government. Despite what is believed,,the Bahamas is a primitive country politically. That was the written opinion of a politcal scientist and writer.

Sometimes i is just shake my head at some of the things in this country. There are very few competent managers in certain government agencies.The Ministry of Works being a major one.
You mean to tell me after so many years, you finally brought new road improvement equipment.
What were the previous directors of works and senior managers thinking?

I know of senior mangers in the real world. They have both produce a yearly expenditure budget. as well as a capital development budget They also have to produce a five and ten year capital budgets. You mean to tell me for twenty years, you do not purchase equipment of attempt to hire competent staff. Something is seriously wrong in this country.

The key persons in both the FNM and PLP parties are aware of this .The average Bahamian is blissfully unaware of this.

That is why both parties have different ways to deal with it.Both parties raise taxes. It is going to take something that is in short supply with the political class in the Bahamas. Management, ingenuity and foresight.

Crooked Island is where my mother is descended.The island has suffered a decline in it's population from the sixties. A number of settlements in that island no longer exist.

Most bahamians seem to be unaware of the that the Bahamas is an archipelago of islands. I always that Bahamians don't live in the Bahamas, they live in New Providence and Freeport.That lop-sided disbursement of the population poses tremendous challenges to the country's development. Every inhabited island in this country has infrastructure issues.

An adjustment or revision to these fees will have to be made at mid-year budget.Tax policy is complex and not cut and dry as most bahamians believe.

This increased push to collect taxes is due to the international lending pressures. The Bahamas government is going to increasingly find it difficult to borrow to fund it's deficits.

Those persons who disrupted Ms. Burrows announcement should be reprimanded by Mrs.Coleby-Davis. She should also apologize to Ms.Burrows. She should issue a statement to the media to that effect.

Prime Minister Davis also should condemn those actions. He should issue a statement to the media for that effect.

The Bahamas is largely an immature country politically. It's politics like many aspects of it's development is backward. That was the written opinion of political scientist many years ago.
