Definitely a slippery situation...the FNM under Minnis is in a complete shambles. I fear that the FNM won't be able to save themselves before the next election, and the PLP will get back in by default almost. Especially if we are still running a 3 party election...fnm/plp/dna...plp will win by a minority vote yet again and we have 5 more years of the crap we are going through now. Very challenging situation, being a governing party when the majority of the electorate voted against you.
I'm not a fan of Minnis...but I'm sorry...this article had to happen and had to be said...the PLP went out of their way to make this a hugely political and pivotal issue during their campaign, it needs to be brought to the front as often as needed to remind the people that the PLP were full of crap and empty promises during their last election campaign.
Think you will find they are talking about 2 instances here...the American tourist rape on Sunday morning...and another incident stemming from an armed robbery Saturday night. I think all the details pertain to the assault that was linked to the armed robbery...don't think any of the details pertain to the tourist rape. Usual shoddy reporting and writing techniques...
'Shootin' for a 124 average for 2016...at least they could brag that they improved on the 2015 numbers...the year is still young though...if we try hard enough, we might break some more records!!
VAT exemptions are a BAD BAD idea. Will make the entire system very cumbersome and complicated and make it harder to run some of the simple audit percentage scenarios that they are currently running through to check for errors in reporting and people trying to undercut what they owe the tax man. You open up that margin of error on the percentages they are using to flag people...that margin WILL be abused.
not surprised AT ALL...in fact fully expected it and knew that it was going on. PLP need that criminal vote...so the BoB allows this to happen. Heck, wasn't BoB built with drug money in the first place?
