Guilty until proven innocent. If that poof takes five years then you are guilty for five years.The police administration don't like Mr.Smith because the staff like him.
Truth be told, the only way you could get the government to move is with a gun to the head. Why does it take a threat from the union for checks to be prepared. You should be paid whenever you work holidays,plain and simple. The government is the biggest breaker of the employment laws they enacted. For those with the negative commentary, how would you behave if your employer was not paying you holiday pay.
The problem is that we treat psychological problems so casually. I am of the opinion that problems of the mind are more prevalent than physical problems.Just like our bodies get sick the same thing happen with the mind. We are reluctant to seek help due to the stigma of been label as crazy. A clear indication of this is the amount of persons who self medicate(rum, marijuana and the likes)
The S&P forcing VAT down our throats.The US embassy issuing travel advisories about the crime situation and now International Human rights groups. The Bahamas can't get a break.
Actually, the contractor should be given the opportunity to rebuild. Most government contracts are profit laden.He most likely can build at half the cost provided that he charge cost. If another contractor is engage the Government will have to pay cost plus huge profit.
To compel the golden boy of the UBP to resign was no small feat. As powerful as Brent Symonette was, Ingraham made him step down. Ingraham don't pay that.
Exchange control is hindering growth but their are many ways to get around it. Find a company that does a lot of business in US dollars. For instant, if Commonwealth Brewery needs 20 million in US dollars, all they have to do is call a company like Atlantis. Commonwealth would deliver a 20 million Bahamian dollar cheque to Atlantis and Atlantis(from US account) wires 20 million US dollars to Commonwealth Brewery US base account. No bank conversion fees and no Central Bank approval. Its a win/win for both companies. They both save $50,000 each. Atlantis needs Bahamian dollars to pay it staff and Commonwealth Brewery needs US dollars to buy supplies.
