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.

Impractical. Not achievable .This country has not had a surplus since about 1966. The late Sir Stafford Sands was minister of Finance when that happened.

,

This is what politics has descended to in the Bahamas. The two major political parties once in power, stop review and cancel the other parties' pet projects.

The financial secretary is neither PLP nor FNM. He is a civil servant and should be apolitical. The fuel hedge should be continue

These decisions are why this country is falling behind. The last two administrations simply stopped and cancel each other projects. The Christie and Minnis's administrations did that to each other pet projects. They did not care about the effectiveness or what the projects were intended to do. The Davis administration is continuing the trend.

This guy. Who in their right mind listens to him?

Talk about tribal politics. Let him explain or rather lie about the situations with the financial secretary Wilson ,Assistant Commisioners' Fernander, Strachan and Deleveaux, The mess at the Bahamas Department of Corrections. The situation with the leadership of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force.

Let him explain or rather lie about the models that justify the vat rate increase. Let him explain or rather lie about how he stopped and cancelled certain projects in the Ministry of Finance in 2017. How he had to restart them in 2019 like the Tyler Technologies project. Kevin Peter Turnquest simply was not a good minister of Finance. People with sense in the FNM know that. The campaign general of a senior FNM cabinet said that.

That legislation was passed in 2010 under the last Ingraham administration.

In a more advanced society, there would be an outcry about this appointment. This however is how things are done here in the Bahamas. Sad.

Disgraceful. The late Sir Godfrey Kelly should have been awarded a state Funeral Despite what some people may think, he made numerous contributions to the development of the Bahamas. He was the first and foremost a cabinet minister.

Dr.Minnis is being disingenuous at best and a liar at worst. He is well aware of that contract and other contracts. That is why is there is some anger in some quarters of the FNM towards him. It is believed rightly or wrongly ,he took care only of people within his circle.

An unfortunate situation that could very easily have been fatal. The owners of those dogs should charged and prosecuted. Also those dogs should be put to sleep. The owners of those dogs should pay all of this lady's medical fees.
Most Bahamians literally have to be taught how to be responsible pet owners. I always remember when I first visited my sister in the US,.I did not see any stray animals on the street. She told me of the strict penalties for letting your animals roam the streets unattended. Those laws were strongly enforced by the local authorities for health and safety reasons.
