The matter was poorly handled by this task force.The persons need to be better trained and cognizant of the image they are portraying to the public. The department of inland revenue needs way better public relations.
Somebody told me this some time ago, the Bahamas is so far behind in many aspects of it's development. A lawyer also said that the Road Traffic Act of 1958 needs to be modernized. The attitude of some bahamians towards road insurance in some ways prove that.
The Bahamas has a series of antiquated laws concerning marriage and divorce. The matrimonial act that governs marriage in this country was passed in 1879.
The Rt.Honourable Hubert Ingraham said this in parliament some time ago.There are a lot of old laws on the statue books in the Bahamas. These laws make no sense in the modern law.
@Sheepruuner 12. You are a typically FNM troll from the Hubert Minnis faction, Always insinuating half/ truths. Mr. Kemp was given a very lucrative consultant position at the Ministry of Finance through his friendship with Fred Mitchell. That is where him and Wilson buck heads.
The Auditor General is retiring. He was honest and forthright under both the PLP and FNM governments. Not everything in this this country is political.
Unprofessional.The Financial Secretary should issue an immediate apology. He should have shown restraint and be the bigger man in this situation.
The media here and the social pundits in social media here are unaware of the history between these two men. The bad blood and animosity seems from their working together at the Ministry of Finance. The media here in the Bahamas is rarely get the whole story.
As for Dr.Sands, certain elements within his party the FNM,has run a relentless smear campaign against the Financial Secretary. A senor FNM politician used his pull with Punch tabloid to plant some untrue stories about the Financial Secretary.The one I always remember was the accusation that he and a senior PLP politician shared the commision money from the purchase of the Damen patrol boats for the RBDF. A big shot person told me that was very untrue.
@Economist.Peter Turnquest was incompetent as the Minister of Finance. He was also embroiled in a financial scandal.
He like Dr.Minnis was incompetent. The Bahamas lacks a media that does real investigative journalism and can explain things. If this Bahamas had a media like the UK and Canada, he would have along be exposed.
Abaco before the destruction was on its way to surpass Grand Bahama in terms of contribution to the national treasury.Abaco needs real local government.Abaco needs a fully equipped and functioning fire department. The island is a major tourism center.An englishman said to a relative of mine, the Bahamas is really govern like a communist country. That how it is from the days of the UBP.
This should have been done years ago. This was spoken of when Leslie Miller was Minister of Trade and Industry. Sensible, progressive ideas take years to be implemented in this country.
