In our Bahamian psyche the Minister is all powerful. The courts come in to play because they don't want persons arbitrarily deported who have a right to be here including Bahamians.

DEDDIE says...

Using the Paris argument.If Haitians and Bahamians are only a couple generations remove from each other then the problem is not their present state but their past. Been African is the problem. "Jusy saying".

I don't see what the big deal is. Group prosecution happen all the time. The Dominican fishermen are usually prosecuted as a group. Judge shows up at the detention center. Group stand before judge.Judge ask if there is a lawful reason why you should not be deported. Case over. The ruling simply says, the Immigration Department can not be the judge.

Atlantis was not sold to Brookfield Asset Management. Atlantis also couldn't meet its obligation to its creditors so Brookfield call-in its debt.

As the world turns. Hello Mr. Kerzner, we know you are eighty years old and retired but we can make it worth your while. For a cool 20 million all we need is your name on this deal.

The Government is trying to put a favorable twist on this fiasco. The liquidation process was absolutely a waste of time. None of the Government entities were secure creditors. Now they are in the same position as every other creditor.

DEDDIE says...

Absolute foolishness. All the increases Mr. Wells mentioned was absorbed by the public. The dealers don't pay VAT, the public does. The only reason why the dealers recommended to the Government a decrease was to control any potential decrease the Government was already considering. If LPG decrease by 67% on the spot market then consumers should also see a 67% decrease rather than a lousy 16% decrease.

You have to give him credit, he weasels himself and his companies into every business deal that impacts Freeport. His construction company is involve in building the bridge and other projects in Freeport.This one amazes me, how do you get to keep 20 million from the sale of the Port. In addition, you get to say who purchase it.

DEDDIE says...

I am glad that the sale didn't come to fruition. All you have to do is look at Eight Mile Rock and you will definitely conclude that you don't want the government running Freeport. The government is practically lousy at anything it touches. They can't even collect garbage properly(heard someone in Pinewood complaining that their garbage haven't been collected in over a month).

The B$ can not be devalued because it is not traded internationally. It is artificially peg to the American $. What the IMF could do if our economy becomes a mess and we invite them in is compel our government to allow the B$ to trade and then we will see a free fall of the B$.
