There needs to be a commission of inquiry. There have been rumours and allegations for years about corruption in government agencies. Bahamians have short memories and is play stupid, There is little or no investigative journalism in this country.
@hj,Sandals closure has nothing to do with those gentleman. Sandals is going to reopen as Beaches in Exuma. That was always the plan for the old Emerald Nay Resort when they purchase it.
By the way,Sandals also has a tax dispute with the government of Antigua. Gaston Browne, Antigua's prime minister said that publicly. They owe several million dollars in taxes. The Antiguan government is trying to collect that, They are not like Bahamians down there.
@Exposed 2cu. You are a conspiracy theorist. A whack job. What you allege was done by the Obama administration is untrue The ATF in their report traced the majority of firearms smuggled to the the Bahamas came from the US.
The Bahamas is a dogmatic, backward country. Yet Bahamians are naturally and highly creative persons. The public school system and many parents do not see a future n the creative arts. That is a source of frustration for many creative persons in the country. It is a next one of the factors driving the brain drain from this country. I know somebody living aboard,, making a very good income in the creative arts.
The Bahamas is behind in governance just like it is behind in so many things. The Bahamas is a highly autocratic country.Which means decision making is in the hands of a few people. There are things here in this country which is primarily dealt with by local governments in the world outside the Bahamas.
Foolishness.Millions are wasted in the government's procurement of goods and services. I wonder which bright spark recommended the purchase of these vehicles.
The island of New Providence could have a unified public transportation system from the nineteen seventies. A proposal was made to the then PLP government by a German company. It was rejected out of the fear that it would affect the livelihoods of taxi drivers.
Now you have the wild wild west on the streets of New Providence. There seems to be on some parts of this island, a total regard for traffic laws. The traffic situation on this island is one of the factors that makes New Providence a somewhat unlivable island, When I visit my sister in the US, i use the public transportation in that city. It is safe,clean and efficient. I get around that city on their public transportation better than one we have here on New Providence.
Mr.Davis has gotten it wrong. No one is talking about public financing of political campaigns.What people are asking for is the disclosure of the financiers of these parties. The public wants to kow who is donating to the political parties here. That should be as matter of public policy.
One of the many problems in this country we have, is an increasingly unworkable economic system. Life in this country is becoming harder by the day for many of it's citizens. You see it daily on the island of New Providence. This margin increase will just be an additional burden to the citizens of this country. It would better for the government to reduce it's taxes on fuel and give the retailers the increase in margins from that.
