The situation with the Barge in Long Island that could have been easily pulled away, but instead allowed to sink with all cargo (including many, many gallons of diesel) is much worse than even this situation in Bimini, albeit the same in terms of response from the Ministry of the Environment.
BTC went through the "motions" of an RFP a year ago to outsource the Directories, only to react when the current Sales Agents put together an all Bahamian Group, by promptly awarded the Contract to a Jamaican Company ... so much for "Believe" in Bahamians, and look at this Year's Directories ... Worst Ever!
The Boat was "banned" for having "broken" the Rules governing what qualified as a "native" Sloop eligible to compete in our "Bahamian" Regattas. A simple change in Ownership does not change the fundamental reason for why the Boat was banned, albeit it is more and more obvious every day that this is not a Nation of Laws, so I suppose, why would our National Sport be any different?!?
The real Question Marks for me are how do Relatives, Friends and Connected Persons (eg. House Keeper and Home Owner) allow 10 days to elapse before sounding the alarm. All need to be brought in by the Police for interviewing, as even if they are truly missing, all these people are culpable for the lateness of the search effort.
"If" there is evidence, prosecute the entire prior Cabinet, but either way, need to focus on the Economy, otherwise, whether who is guilty or otherwise to blame will be irrelevant. The Election Result was a Vote of Desperation by the Majority and that same Majority are now more desperate than we were in May, so please, please focus, otherwise we are doomed, if not already.
