This is the fault of the Haitian Government for continuing to create the conditions in their country that force people to take this risk.. Corrupt reshimes have ruled this country for decades and Bahamian's don't help by exploiting cheap labour. The international community will not make a large enough effort to intervene in Haiti and break up the decades of corrupt rule because Haiti has no value to them.. Any country that does not strongly push for education and the development of its people is destined to be poor and ignorant forever. The masses of the population remain ignorant clinging to vodoo and the catholic faith as their only hope rather than education and development.. The fact that our planes were not working did not help the situation and my prayers go out to the victim's and there family.. However the major fault in this situation is with Haiti.. For us to be responsible it would be like saying not having a working defibrilator in your home makes it your fault if a 700 lbs man dies of a heart attack in your back yard. Maybe there was a fresh plate of cookies in the window that give him the motivation to come onto the property but u did not create the problem. These people were in the process of commiting a crime to survive i understand, but the Haitian Government Killed these people... Now this business with the planes not working that's another story, its disgraceful and irresponsible to the Bahamian people and those legally travelling in our waters..
This is some B.S. are people this stupid and greedy... Some greedy, selfish, stupid people came up with this one.. The volunteer system was working and more importantly the animals were being helped by people who genuinely cared about them. We have a terrible pot cake problem, its unsafe, unsanitary, and cruel to the animals. i can remember being bitten as a kid by a stray, this is rediculous....idiots...
Franklyn Wilson, LOL... Major beneficiary of the corruption.. Does this guy think all of the population are idiots... Walk outside feel the temperature and look at the beautiful waters and natural enviroment, the country is rich, they just sold it all to foreigners with bad deals that benefit the few...
i would not be surprised if many of the same guns are being confiscated, resold and reused for crime. Guns and drugs are valuable and with the rate Police Officers are paid, taking guns from a criminal, crime scene or evidence room and reselling it on the street is an easy way to make some quick cash... Perhaps some RBPF or RBDF officers are contributing to the problem... Time for an evidence Audit..
its all about the votes, all about the votes.....Union members and there family have enough votes to change elections...result they get taken cared off despite the fact that this behavior is criminal..
He knows how much money was spent on the trip, he just does not want it made public because it will enrage the people.. This however is systematic of how most governments are ran.. They are all use to this type of wasteful spending on themselves, it's just that we are in the era of information and technology to the masses exposing these things. In his mind living lavishly on the tax payer is one of the perks of the job, they all feel that way. Now the BEC nonsense that's just blatanly criminal, but what's truly exposed is the tremendous power and influence that the union and its members have over the Government. The Government backed down and allowed this criminal bahavior to continue out of fear of losing votes...
Could not agree more with above statement.. We also need to do something about these grown ass men chasing behind young teenage girls & getting them pregnant..They destroying there future & creating generations of social problems.
Vat is bad for everyone except the Government period. Soon they will tax the air you breath to raise funds to pay debt. Spend Spend Spend, Tax Tax Tax, with no return or solutions.
