Marlon Johnson is simply incompetent. One of his actions was to to disband the revenue enhancement unit.
He sent home all the contractual workers from that unit. He gave some vague answers when he was questioned about it by a Nassau Guardian reporter. He and Peter Turnquest stopped all the projects started by financial secretary Wilson. All of those projects need to be restarted.
Tyler Technologies was originally engaged by Simon Wilson. Their contract was terminated by the incoming FNM government. When dumb and dumber, Peter Turnquest and Marlon Johnson realized that their tax rate would not yield what they expected, they were re engaged.
They were engaged at a higher price to pay the staff who worked along with them in the initial phase of the project. Turnquest and Johnson has made a lot of bone-headed decisions. Despite their denigration of Wilson, all of the projects started by Wilson, they need to carry out. Like a person outside of the Bahamas with a PHD said to me, Wilson knew what he was doing.
Mr,Hartnell, please stop just printing reports and press statements. Ask some hard questions some time.
The country is nearing a fiscal cliff. Standing very close to the abyss.
Who ever wins the government after 2022 has to come up with a sensible fiscal plan. The IMF has already stated how this deficit and growing debt has to be dealt with.
As for Johnson ,the acting financial secretary ,he is in over his head. A big time FNM supporter told me that. Also an investment banker aboard said the same thing to me.
I am not surprised at all by the IMF recommendation. There has been some discussions over the years about the Bahamas system of taxation. It also tIed in to the Bahamas attempting to join the WTO.
There was an attempt to go after tax evaders with the revenue enhancement unit. It collected ninety million dollars in back taxes after hurricane Matthew. It was disbanded by Marlon johnson and Peter Turnquest. It was one of their idiotic decisions. In fact all Marlon Johnson is doing now is restarting the programs he and Peter Turnquest cancelled ,that were started by Simon Wilson. Somebody outside the Bahamas with a real PHD told me that.
The executive orders signed by President Biden should have been signed by President Trump a year ago. They would have reduced the spread of the virus and tempered this deadly pandemic in the US. Trump was incompetent, reckless and dangerous as president.
She is merely speaking in her role as shadow minister for social services. Like a foreigner said to me, bahamians don't understand their system of government, the westminister system. All they know is PLP and FNM.
What Mrs.Hanna Martin and minister Campbell commented on, was going on for quite some time. The Bahamas has a lot of deeply rooted problems lurking below the surface.
The commisioner's comments were simply stupid. He showed a lack of understanding of mental health issues and a lack of empathy. He is like so many in this country.
You moron. It is called infringing on basic human rights. That is why I don't support extending of the curfews. The curfews under the emergency powers were meant to reduce or stop the spread of the COV19 virus.I
This government removed Wilson from his post several years ago. Why would e-mails still be sent to his account? It should have been disabled.
I notice you have something against Wilson. Any lie or mistruth against him ,you are quick to repeat in this forum.
According to the late Sir William Allen, Wilson was a very competent civil servant when he worked with him Also can you can enlighten me on the reason the acting financial secretary left his post at BTC.
A tremendous entrepreneur. A man who took a gamble in his home country when the chips were down and it paid off.
A resident of the British Virgin Islands said because of him, he considered Jamaica the leading tourism country in the caribbean. He said there were Sandals and Beaches resorts in several caribbean islands. St.Lucia, Turks and Caicos Bardados and Antigua.
Condolences to his family, friends and work colleagues.
