Parliament has to review that law and make amendments if need be. The commissioner is right in what he is saying.
This happens when laws and regulations are passed without properly understanding their effects. Sometimes they create a cascading effect and have unintended consequences. You are now giving criminal records to persons for some minor offences if they are found guilty. Hence you may end up having persons with criminal records who may lose employment or may not become employed if they don't have a clean police record.
This occurrence is widespread throughout the government corporations and civil service. This gentleman should be sued for the fraud he did and those funds recovered from him and those workers.
The workers should also be terminated also. This has gone on for years in this country.
The creditors have the right to collect this debt. That excuse is non-sensical.
However behind this story, is the issue of ' crony capitalism. The Bahamas at times operate like the Philippines under Marcos and Indonesia under Suharto.
Congrats to the President -Elect Joe Biden. The third time is a charm.
Congrats to Vice-President -Elect Kamala Harris. She represents something that has aided and driven development in the United States, immigration. A father who is an economist from Jamaica and a mother who was a researcher from India. The browning of America. Also a white JJewish husband.
Mr.Trump please concede defeat and leave office with some grace. Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush did it.
The Bahamas had since 1962 to prepare for the opening of Cuba. That is how long the embargo has been in place. Cuba is no threat to the United States. President Obama realized that.
President Trump is a disgrace. A bigot, narcissistic serial liar. He should simply concede defeat and prepare to leave office.
That resolution to borrow those funds for BPL should have been included in the budget. That was done separately to hide the size of the deficit.
The FNM like the PLP are using sleight of hand tricks to hide the deficit. Also don't be surprise if a management company is brought back to run BPL.A lot of external lenders may insist on that with the company's proposed debt. There are lenders who don't have any great confidence in their management team.

This is quite a common occurrence in the civil service. A gentleman said on a radio show he said that when he returned from university in the 1970's.
This is one of the reasons, why a lot of parents encourage their children not to return to the Bahamas after they complete their education aboard.
