The Bahamas is years behind in the development and use of renewable energy sources. Far behind Jamaica and Barbados in this regard. Sensible, progressive ideas some time take years to reach this country. This country have quite a number of vested groups who have this country so backward for their personal financial benefit.

The Bahamas is governed like a communist country. An Englishman said that years ago. It reminded him of how Stalin and Khrushchev governed the Soviet Union. All decisions were made by the politburo even minor or mundane ones. Same mentality in the Bahamas.

@ John. The Bahamas was not a shopping mecca for caribbean nationals. The Dominican Republic is cheaper .There are Walmart stores in Puerto Rico, a United States territory Also there is the free trade zone in Panama and Aruba..

Corruption is deeply engrained in the Bahamas. Crime pays in the Bahamas .A relative of mine whose father is an anglican priest basically said that to me. He said that after observing life in this country over the years.

Gutter politics. The use of the house of parliament to attack private citizens who are unable to defend themselves. This is one of the reasons many qualified persons don't offer themselves for service in this country or simply leave. This is done by both the Minnis and now this Davis administration.

Bahamians are by in large quite gullible. People who are paid to manage NGOs and charities in the real world. The CEO of the American red cross makes over six hundred thousand dollars a year in salary before taxes. PM Davis can not be that daft or ignorant to believe that persons who manage NGOs are not paid.

Every body who is honest knows the reason tor the FNM defeat. Dr. The Hon Hubert A.Minnis. A lot of hard core FNMs did not go to the polls on September 16th.There was beneath the surface, a stunning amount of displeasure with him as FNM leader and prime minister. A lot of FNM supporters were turned off by him.

Jonathan Ash should have testified without any inducement. He should have done it in the interest of justice. This case and others prove why so many persons have a low opinion of the Bahamas as a country.

There is no town planning in the Bahamas except maybe in Freeport. Once you have money, you can do anything.

Tit for Tat politics. PM Davis is merely doing what his predecessor PM Minnis did.It of course angers FNM supporters and operatives. They had no problem with it when it was done by Dr.Minnis.

It serves as a distraction. The PLP lacks any vision or ideas to move this country forward. The FNM is in the same boat as the PLP. in that regard. The saving grace of this country is it nearness to the US and the economic embargo of Cuba. Also the chaos and collapse of Haiti.
That makes Haiti unattractive for large scale tourism investment.

This practice is endemic in the public and private sector in the Bahamas. This has gone on for some time. The media here is just getting around to report it.

This is one of the factors that is driving the brain drain away from the Bahamas. Some people who are not a part of these cliques, are not going to stand to be mistreated here.
