Yes, you can live very good in the Bahamas if you have money.

I know Bahamians who obtained employment or were recruited by companies before they never finish university in the US.

Peter Turnquest was the worse minister of finance since independence. People who understand economics and public finance will tell you that. He made a lot of bad fiscal decisions.

Why should any tertiary educated Bahamian return to the Bahamas after living, working and studying aboard in a first world country?

Persons before Mr. Carey have attempted to get qualified Bahamians either to return home or contribute to it's development.

The Bahamas is a combination of a paradise and plantation at the same time. For many highly educated persons here ,it is merely a poorly managed plantation. I know of somebody with a Phd with good job here, who left. They could not deal with the unprofessionalism, cronyism, nepotism and the rampant victimization here. Also the stifling of creativity, the stealing of intellectual ideas and the group think, which frowns on independent thinkers.

What is this?

The FNM on assuming office in 2017 disbanded the revenue enhancement unit .This unit was designed to go after tax-evaders. It collected ninety million dollars in six months after hurricane Matthew. One of lies given by this FNM government was that it was ineffective. Moody's the rating agency said that the unit was effective and questioned why it was disbanded.

This FNM government terminated the contract with Tyler Technologies. Tyler was engaged in the process of modernizing the real property unit .One of the things they were doing were digitizing the real property register. This FNM government realized after about a year, that project was needed. They had to re-engage Tyler Technologies at a higher price.

Now in a fiscal crunch, they come up with this cockamamie idea. Write off 50% of amount due from delinquent real property tax payers. Reward persons tor their delinquency. Some body said to me, I pay my property tax bills on time. What about me? The person said to me they can't get a discount on what they have paid on time and in full.

This is how the Bahamas operates. In the US, where my sister lives, that company could face both civil and criminal charges.

Here you have a company owned essentially by a sitting member of parliament breaking the law. Things like this undermine the rule of law.

He was pressured or persuaded not to run for reelection. He was probably promised something in exchange for not running in this election.

That goes on in both major political parties here in the Bahamas, the FNM and PLP. Ask Halson Moultrie what position he was promised by Dr. Minnis for not being on the FNM ticket in this upcoming election.

What Gowon Bowe has stated in this article is true.

Juan McCartney on his talk show the Revolution Monday ,past explained how for the last three years, Marlon Johnson and Peter Turnquest refuse to disclose what economic models were prepared the budget when the rate was raised.. Basically there was no economic models and forecasting used. , Marlon Johnson has not answered those questions which were asked by a former senior FNM cabinet minister.

The late Sir William Allen and Frank Watson in separate interviews predicted what was going to happen. The blame for this situation lies squarely at the feet of Dr.Minnis. Like the son of a former senior FNM cabinet minister said, he does not understand how the vat tax system works.

A story without a byline on the front page of this newspaper.

Some of the persons involved in this venture are the same persons behind the public private partnership to the manage the historical sites for the AMMC.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery Mr. Ingraham. You still have a lot to offer sir.

Correction, Marlon Johnson is the acting financial secretary. A next incompetent crony.

Lanisha Rolle should never been appointed a minister. In both ministries she served in, there were complaints about her her behaviour. She was told by to resign.
