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.

The exam results were dismal. The press conference was an attempt to put a brave face on it and a bit of self-congratulations.

It is one thing to be a talk show host and be a critic. Now in the position to make changes and can't perform just like the last guy.

There are quite a number of land scams in this country over the years.

It was recommended from 1963 that this country develop a sensible land registry. This country is far behind in many aspects of development despite the propanganda.

These awards by the queen was made on the recommendations of the cabinet office.

Politicians have a major say in who are honored in this country.
