Good insight. Good assessment. True observations. Great suggestions. But we have to look even deeper to get to the sub-dermal layer of the existing problem. The Bahamas Government... with all their faults, ineptitudes, failures, unaccountability, incompetence, disgraceful and dishonest track-record... are nothing more than an extension; a mirror image; an inverted reflexion of the hapless, lazy, dishonest practices of the Bahamian people!! The very same practices that defines the Bahamians people are the very same practices that have been incorporated into the operating procedures of the government. Every single Bahamian living in this country for the past 40 plus years, knows about the scandal-ridden, excuse- spouting, corrupt practices of successive governments!! Especially the PLP government!! Yet every five years we sell our votes for political favors, and other acts of selfishness and badmindedness! Long story short...... the Bahamian people are reaping exactly what we've sown. When we the Bahamian people have changed, then our government and their standards will change!!! Until then.... much wailing and gnashing of teeth!

A government can't suggest, much-less, engage in the practice of selling illegal drugs.... no matter what the potential profits are. This would be the epitome of treachery. The very thought discredits every value; every principle; every creed; even the very foundation on which the State was built. This is the difference between respectable nations and a banana republic! If the Bahamas government wants to turn a monetary profit from the sale of illicit drugs such as marijuana and hashish, then they had better modify the laws to suit their purpose! Anything less is criminal! But remember... the sale of any type of psychedelic drug can only yield blood-money. And as the drugs are sold; lives are destroyed! More drugs can only yield more drug-addicts, more broken-homes, more broken-lives.... and this is the last thing our nation needs. To imagine that any government official can consider profiting from illegal drugs is a deceptive betrayal of the public trust! But apparently Perry Christie doesn't seem to see things this way; especially since he appointed a known drug-profiteer as his Deputy PM. I wonder if he realizes that if the PLP loses the next general election, he will be facing multiple extradition hearings. These Federal officers are working feverishly compiling a case against him. Another disgraceful black-eye for the Bahamas. Smt

What are y'all talking about??? If and when drugs are sold in the Bahamas, then the drug traffickers and factions accosiated with their organizations are the ones who make a monetary profit from it. Factions including corrupt government officials, and also corrupt members of our National Security agencies. There are no proceeds!! Only victims!!!

Once again..... we are faced with the stark reality of Bahamian incompetence. In over 40 years both FNM and PLP have failed to produce efficient, effective energy solutions. Failure after failure after failure.....regression after regression after regression..... lie after lie after lie.

And as our brightest minds continue leave our country for other parts of the world, a huge void is left in their wake. Our country is a leaderless, rudderless, powerless, ineffective melting-pot of incompetence and ineptitude. We have failed Bahamas. Our governments have failed.... and we the people have failed.

Good job athletes!!! You've made us proud!!!

An adult??? Please!!! You couldn't pass as an adult on your best day! A sensible person only need glance at the utter childish, nonsensical, rubbish that you post on this site everyday to discern that you're a petulant, idiotic, silly little child.... and a dumb one at that! You are a classic example of why Bahamians should NOT send their children to Woodcock primary school! A textbook display of what it means to be an imbecile!! Every time you open your mouth you give the Bahamas a concentrated, potent dose of stupidity!! Confine your ignorance to yourself please!!

It's suppose to be incinerated. But this is the Bahamas, so much of it is filtered back on the streets thru corruption in branches of our national security agencies.

It's not actual money, you incompetent idiot! The article is stating the monetary street-value of the drugs. All drugs confiscated by the authorities are suppose to be used as evidence in their respective court cases, and then incinerated! Like you should be.

Absolutely right! During the funeral service it was utterly shameful and disgraceful to listen to Dr Hubert Minnis remind us of the victimization that Mr Moxey and his family faced simply for being FNM supporters. Both Mr Moxey and his daughters were subsequently fired from their respective government jobs simply because of their political affiliation. And while Perry Christie tried to maintain his apathetic, careless posture at this assertion.... the shame and dishonor was written all over his two-face. The PLP is, and will always be a national disgrace! RIP Mr Moxey. You've served your country well.

Typical PLP intimidation tactics! Reminds me of the Sir Lynden Pindling era when they ran this country as if it were a dictatorship. I swear.... this government is so bush-league that it is beyond disgraceful. And to think.... we've got three more years of this nonsense to go. Can you imagine??? PLP's operating an autocratic style of government in which they solicit thugs and cronies to threaten members of the opposition whenever opposition members expose and question certain actions that are considered illegal and unconstitutional in most respectable countries! Bahamians..... we made a huge mistake by placing the PLP back in power.....trust me! And I only say "WE" because I'm a Bahamian myself. But The Lord knows I had nothing to do with voting for these heap of unscrupulous, savage-like, scoundrels!
