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.
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.
All governments review systems of taxation Juan McCartney said that today on his talk show the Revolution.
As for the vat tax, the first discussion on that occurred in 1985 by the late Lynden Pindling cabinet. Crown Agents a firm out of Great Britain reviewed the bahamian taxation system in the1990's for the Hubert Ingraham government.
In fact vat was to be introduced by the Ingraham government at a rate of 15% in 2015 if they won the 2012 election. Zhivago Laing minister of state for finance under Mr.Ingraham said that. He said that in an address to a service club in Grand Bahama. Mr.Ingraham probably the best bahamian prime minister understood the problems which were occurring with the taxation system in the Bahamas.
Like a Bahamian aboard said ,bahamians here in the bahamas like you and me live in a own little world. A former FNM parliamentarian said on a radio show he wish he could take the entire bahamian population outside the bahamas. So they experience life outside this bubble.
Most politicians lie. That is part and parcel of their trade.
I have some family aboard who is laugh at self-righteous bahamians like you. When their party lie, they is keep quiet. I remember well the where the vat money gone from las election.
The Bahamas is a developing country. I do not care what you believe or fantasy.
Why don't you visit some of the islands in MICAL or let the people of Ragged Island tell you what is live on that island?
To paraphrase a Bahamian living aboard with a PHD, Bahamians live in their own little world. Especially the ones living on New Providence and the port area of Grand Bahama.
Both major parties in this country have never understood the role of opposition in this system. They simply can not play that role.
The opposition role is simply not to oppose. They should act as a check on the government's power and provide alternative suggestions. Only people in this country do is wait for their time to govern so they can take care of their people.
The late Michael Manley describe this situation long ago in Jamaica. The same as in the Bahamas.
