Besides another office & staff to support, what services will they provide to the people & what powers will they have?

Want to improve doing business in The Bahamas? Get rid of the 'What's in it for ME in My Kingdom?' A Mideavel Beaucrat-Pirate mindset.
Mandated expensive professional services & approvals by uncooperative agency personnel who would rather be elsewhere, has been a common impediment every government that concentrates on hiring volumes of voters instead of talent. Government must provide incentives to worker performance beyond Low Wages in a High Cost of living environment. The 'who you know' game must be available to all, startups & wealthy.

Well said, true observations. Barbarians (bajans) happily return after education/carreers abroad. Do Bahamians?

Not today's political elites, not today's F level labor base.

There is nothing hidden about Fentanil, just fatal ignorance.

Is it no wonder legitimate foreign investors refuse to work with Bahamas Government?
Is it no wonder only Bigger Financial & Narco Criminals are willing?
What Say You, People? This is your legitimate government?
Wonder what Burke got to abandon $1m lawsuit.

This should be the law. Understandably, is it not bad enough that the cruise ships control the cash, food, water, beds, drink & entertainment on board, as well as access to excursions? They also control their passengers time (& funds) on land. While providing a few vendors access to their passengers, at a price.
They mesmerize the Politicos with impressive numbers, restricting access of local supliers in exchange for elimination of their garbage, sewerage, oily bilge & ballast water in our ports.
Sounds like a wonderfull one-sided relationship... for Them.

There are many means to squash dissenting conversation by the Political Elite. You have witnessed one this week. In a Democracy, Opposition has to be given equal time. But it requires proper, parliamentary behavior, courteous recognition & value by ALL. Evidently this is not the case here, as mentioned the Speaker is a Referee, Not a Player. Party over Patria become Cults.
