Business 101 - Pay your Bills!

Publish the Names, 30 days to pay or commence Court Proceedings. This is critical, as if we have a "D" Average, these Culprits represent our more intelligent, who with all their higher intelligence are using it to avoid their obligations, which unless curbed will simply carry over into the work place and indeed, possible political life. Real problem is this is an ethical issue, which is hard to address in adulthood and is more of an upbringing issue, which means the Parents of these Kids were most likely crooked and have simply passed it on to their Children, hence dare I say why this Country has gone to hell in the past 43 years since Independence and the future is bleak.

This Story alone eptimomises why we are where we are 43 years post Independence by exposing nepotism, incompetence, ignorance, corruption, etc. ... now multiply a few thousand times! It is a wonder we are still floating ... or are we, as many will say we have already sunk, but either do not realize or worse, refuse out of lingering National Pride to admit!

We need to adopt Legislation as in the UK that would declare McKinney a "Disqualified Director", thereby preventing him from holding such a fiduciary position again, as clearly any Landlord who allows a Tenant to accumulate so much in unpaid Rent is completely and utterly incompetent ... and the "salt in the wound" is he wants a "Thank You"!

As for Pat Mortimer, I am sure she was up for Queen's Honors for her business acumen, as with Sir. Tiger, as these People are truly gifted at destroying extremly viable ventures whilst at the same time enriching themselves personally, at the expense of Shareholdes, Fiananciers, Investors, Suppliers and Other Ceditors ... just look at ABC Motors, Solomon's Mines, RND, Burn's House, City Markets, etc. ... all once profitable, but destroyed through a combination of incompetence and outright embezzling, causing much unnecessary unemployment in the process.

Set the Example for the future Doc and Name the Culprits, irrespective if dead or still alive, otherwise you have severely misled the Bahamians who voted for you. If not, you have either lied on the promise of action or you are too scared yourself to take action for fear of what Others may have on you, neither are good scenarios, so I suggest you start prosecuting before the "the People" turn on you. I am afraid, No Excuses will be accepted, as this is the single biggest issue that has stunted the growth of this Nation, not to mention its Reputation!

Who is the Minister responsible for BEC? Is there a Minister for Energy?

Cooper appears to be the sort of Bahamian we can build a Country behind, Black, White, Rich, Poor, so far, very impressive in his role as 1 of 4 in Opposition and soon deserving of being nominated Leader.

Porcupine should be made the Minister of Finance, effective immediately! No joke, as he/she has espoused more of a Plan to deal with our dire economic situation than anyone else to date.

Stand strong Bahamas! Why capitulate Bahamas? Be unique Bahamas? What Benefits did we see, much less actually get from going along with the First Rounds of compliance?!? absolutely nothing! Stop following the Pack and rolling over to the demands of those already Developed Countries that simply wish to take what "little" we have left, particularly as they have no intention of reciprocating themselves. We are an independent Nation sitting off the Coast of the most powerful Country in the World and as such have a lot more leverage than you think ... why do you think the Chinese are here ... for Sun, Sand and Sea! wake up bahamas!

Obviously this affects "Albany" too, which is in between the 2 locations mentioned, but why is this not mentioned?
