First off let me say "congratulations to the newest millionaires on the block", cause listen if it were me I was suing. Cause how you have me, my mom, girlfriend, and brother locked up after planting drugs. SMH...and this is exactly why the average Bahamian refuses to cooperate with police. They prove time and time again they cannot be trusted, and the police commissioner acting like her head in the sand. Because, how can you say one bad apple does not spoil the bunch when all you have are apples rotten to the core. The amount of corruption that has been brought to light in just 2026 should let you know there is a serious problem that needs to be fixed.
So now it is an issue for a politician to remain in politics "past his prime". Where were all these voices when Perry, Leslie, Bradley, Brent, Ingraham- just to name a few- were running. In reality and I have long said this, politicians are public servants and should be subjected to the same retirement age of 65. But as always what is good for the goose is never good for the gander and these politicians run for parliament way into their seventies. And that is why this country will never fully prosper and flourish.
Smh, while I sympathize I would remiss if I didn't point out that Mrs. Pratt-Williams is also accountable. Because why would you allow your "regular" driver- which implies you do this often- to switch with someone mid transport? She could have declined and ask the regular driver to return her to the pickup location. It's crazy how we allow things to occur and it only becomes a problem when someone is hurt. So had she not gotten in the accident, she would have been dropped off at her destination and that would have been the end of it. While the government does need to regulate these rogue "Uber" drivers, the responsibility is also on the person utilizing the service.
It was obviously someone known to him, as there was no signs of forced entry. Based on other news reports, the police has to breach the residence in order to gain access. So, it sounds like he let whoever it was in, or they had a key.
And this why integrity is so important, especially as an officer of the law. The ability to do the right thing even when it's not favorable. Sadly many officers lack integrity and only do the right thing when someone is watching. This type of behavior is very prevalent among government workers. They always want a "tip" to do what they are already being paid to do.
But yet they ate moving forward with a 200 million dollar hospital. They can't afford to pay the staff to keep the current hospital functioning, but they expect to staff a new hospital. Sounds to me like that money would be better served paying staff and upgrading facilities at PMH. But then again people who were promised kickbacks won't be able to cash in. Smdh...and we are about to head to the polls for 5 more years of bullshit.
This a regular everyday occurrence, it just so happens this got caught on camera. There are no government entities where bribes are not part of the standard operation. Go to Road Traffic, find someone you know and slide them a $50. car licensed without ever being inspected- which is why so many cars on the road are missing bumpers, lights etc. Go to the NIB or Passport office- they are selling documents. Nothing will come of this, and it will continue with others now being more vigilant and aware of not being caught.
Clearly you are one of them who cannot read to comprehend, there is no where in my comment where I conclusively said they needed to be in court. I merely stated that one can argue that the right to be in court could mean in actual court.
Well she is giving the police something to start with. If he was involved in an altercation- no matter how small- that same night, it is safe to say it is possibly connected. Now it's up to the police to do their due diligence and rule the alleged person out, and then continue on with the investigation. But usually coincidences are rarely just that...
