With notable exceptions, most Bahamians are ill prepared for today's Business World in terms of education, skills, ambition and worst, business ethics. Whether you like it or not, this Country has suffered tremendously post Independence due to our Immigration Policy. Just look at Cayman today, which was built off our Immigration Policy, do you see any unemployed Caymanians? "No." Do you see a lot of ex-pats helping to build Cayman and provide employment? "Yes." From a 2 horse Town at the time of our Independence, to World Leader today in Offshore Services, whereas the proudest moment for our Nation was our recent General Election ... and now we hear instead of uplifting talk about how to develop, regrettably more archaic backward talk, which has got is in the current mess we re in. FYI - Foreign People are not evil, they can HELP us and besides, unless you are Lucayan, we are ALL Foreign, Yes, even those of African descent, just been here a "little" longer. Please grow up Bahamas! The People that are Smart and have Money are the ones we want, as they will build "our" Country, not the Immigrants that arrive illegally, who we seem quite happy to hand out Passports to because we can not be bothered to weed our yards any more and with a "Yes Daddy/Mummy"appear less threatening. Have you ever actually seen the way these passive people riot when they are no longer subservient ... by placing burning tyres over those they oppose ... "Yes Daddy/Mummy" ... never once seen an American, Canadian, English or European do something so barbaric yet, unless of course one reckons getting you out of bed to go to work ... and actually making one work to a certain standard is barbaric!
Agreed, no need for Referendum, simply repeal the Law, certainly got a Super Majority to do so! Indeed, could be the first piece of Business to get the Economy back on a normal footing.
Unless this Referendum happens NOW, it will be bound to fail, as all others have, as "The People" want the FOCUS to be on Crime, the Economy and Education (in that order), and "The People" will use "any" Referendum as a Report Card to grade performance, irrespective of topic! Surely "every" Politician gets this by now?!?
2 weeks in now and no Prosecutions yet, "the People" will not remain patient for much longer, as this was the reason for the Landslide Victory on 10th May, nothing else!
"It's not an allegation of stealing", what then were the computers being removed for without permission?!? ... maintenance? ... regettably the Gangster's Lawyer is part of the problem, particularly now that he has decided to inject himself into the Politics of this Country.
Not sure where you have been BahamaPundit, but welcome to The Bahamas of today! Unfortunately no easy or quick fix, if at all ... as what no one wants to acknowledge is that it may actually already be too late, in that what we just did will not actually stop us from going over the Cliff, if we are already over it!!!
