screams of narcissism and nepotism all over. Everyone in the family is inconvenienced to accommodate a doting old man? It is like something straight ouf of the drug kingpin movie LOL!

I guess no one cares about the past or the questionable enrichment he has squandered for himself at the expense of the Bahamian people's public purse? How about the current no bid fuel supply contract that was awarded in contravention of the law.

On Sir Franklyn deserves our respect

wow, the same statement made a dozen times and no real actual information. this is not journalism at its finest, sorry.

Yes, lets reinvent the wheel. the black market will continue to rein supreme and the gangs will continue to be well fed and paid and the status quo will remain. But no one really wants to hear the truth - that would mean their narrow jaded view of the world would instantly become invalid. meanwhile a 'High-ranking Politician' will continue to grow their wealth and influence through massive black market. the black market could be as much as 5% of GDP ($120,000,000) per year and the folks making money off it and not having to pay any taxes are going to continue to enjoy their cake and eat it too.

pre-paying tax is flat out the dumbest idea that I have ever heard of. Where in the lawful ACT is this specified? Next we will have to prepay to die I guess? stupid dumb-@$$ policy based on gross negligent overspending and borrowing.

No $100k gross turnover threshold? Do these jokers not know that govt is not in compliance with their own rules? how can we force the general populace to follow the rules when the govt does not? Why not write a useful article on how absolutely ridiculously difficult it is to try to get a business license for a home rental? Does anyone even know how they can get a biz license? Will they get VAT passthrough so they don't have to pay any VAT themselves only the end user renter? If it was easy they probably would but most get lost and give up trying. On the issue of "registered as raw land" that is a clear statement of failure of the DIR and Min of Works. They got a building permit, they got a Cert of Occupancy but no one at either entity can be bothered to do a little bit of work and update records. An maybe if the property tax roll was visible and public there would be a whole lot less issues with property tax rates but if that were the case how could people hide their little job benefit of not having to pay tax when you work in that department. They basically just admitted their failures here.

feel free to stay in FL. whenever I go to FL, i can't wait to get back home to the Bahamas. The bahamas is the best place to be on the entire earth. if you want to play here, you have to pay here. These people have $300,000 toys, meaning lots of disposable income, feel free to share the wealth a little please. These pilots sound like spoilt children and they probably are.

Perhaps Mr. Strachan does not quite grasp how things work. The cost of asphalt, copper and pipes are quite high - who is to pay for those substantial benefits if it is a 70% subsidy for the politically connected? We all know only the favourites get favours. We also all know that the cost of proper planning and drainage is too much for the govt to bear. But yes, lets give a verylucky few even more free stuff like that 80 tract for $1 in Abaco or the other ones around the Bahamas. Say "Nominal Fee" to private developer, more shenanigans at the tax payer expense. Strachan just upset he didn't get payout like the other key cronies of Davis.

The biggest issue is that this person remains unnamed and will go onto do it again and again and countless women will suffer in silence out a fear of a liable lawsuit. this country is gone down the tubes already as a result of this nonsense protecting those who should not be protected. Name the name so we can all be aware and protect ourselves and our loved ones for this behavoir. I bet he sits up front in church every sunday "absolving his sins" and everyone knows but no one says anything.
