"The anticipated destruction of the General Post Office building to make way for a new Supreme Court complex will help revitalise downtown"
More hilarity. These people really should learn to a) construct properly and b) maintain the buildings they spend The People's money on and cut the bull. They must get a cut from the demolition companies.
The Bahamas Government has always been very good at TAKING money from The People, but never at giving refunds, credit, correcting its own billing errors or PAYING its bills. I can't imagine why anyone would have thought vat credit would have been a different creature. I am not even certain that sufficient funds would be retained to run the Country (even IF run honestly and efficiently) after all the VAT refunds to merchant and service entities were dispensed. You have to doubt that this was actually properly researched before the implementation of VAT......
We are indeed a tiefin nation. Is there a Tiefin 101 in the schools or is it learned in the home? It's certainly prevalent in the government and civil service. Private business loses hundreds of thousands every year to its upright, church-going, bible-toting employees! So those who do not cheat and steal have to pay for those that do. Isn't that the way of the world?
Get loan, do not pay back = tief. One of our top ten pastimes! This whole student loan 'crisis' and the 'overwhelmed' education authority is just another example of decades of totally inefficient governance. Glad this Administration is attempting to 'go after' the debt, but not by double-paying The People's funds.
How right you are! Both recent and current governing political parties are 'party' to the parasites and therefore complicit in the continued downward spiral in our economy and society......
