Who cares? I want to know Mr. Brave Davis when will the treasury be reimbursed by Mr. Hanna 2.6 million for the destroyed building he is liable for? Make sure interest is added for our lost use of the building. Do not tax us to death with Vat for your incompetency and this man's dishonesty. Not one red cent of my taxes should be used to rebuild. A bottle of hooks is straighter than this crew! They really are all so disgraceful. In a civilized society Mr. Davis would have resigned long ago.

The commissioner should really stop saying crime is down, NO ONE believes this except him. The truth is crime is terrible and getting worse. I recently went to my little police station in a sleepy family island to report two crimes. People were out the door waiting to report crimes. When I finally saw the officer he showed me a stack of crime reports on his desk, it was literally THREE inches high! Now if this is going on in a community of 1000 people what about Nassau. How many of these reports are accurately forwarded to headquarters when the incentive for all involved is to underreport crimes. And then how many crimes are simply not reported by the public at large? Until these statistics are compiled by an independent body I will never believe them, all parties currently have a vested interest to underreport so as not to alarm the public and make themselves look good.

URCA is a complete mess, definitely not transparent, and seemingly not independent from government influence. Why has there been a delay in the spectrum auction? URCA refuses to answer, simply no comment. This is unacceptable from a regulator who should be transparent and open with the public who pays their salaries and stand to wait further as this delays true competition and with it better prices and services. Who benefits from this delay of awarding the second license, BTC of course, which is either 49 or 51% owned by the govt. this stinks to high heaven. Then they are mandating that the second cellular license winner use BTC's crappy towers, so we get no better service and BtC gets paid a usage fee for their crappy infrastructure. We have waited too long for better service, let cable build their towers, give a 100% bahamian company the second license and URCA stop retarding progress and competition. And while we are at it can the tribune please investigate and URCA comment on the conflict of interest in having the wife of a senior URCA executive and spokesman and regulator on the selection committee for the second cellular license. That stinks to high heaven too! We deserve better, and we are tired of this CRAP!!!!

Shocking!

I suspect your blame of Haitians may be misplaced. I live in Long Island and there is a epidemic of stolen boats and especially parts. My boat was stolen, used for a nefarious purpose and then politely returned to me damaged of course. Then while it was in my enclosed yard $1000 parts stripped from the engine. Neither crime ever solved of course. However, there is not a single Haitian living in Long Island, legal or otherwise. It is our own people doing most of this crime.

Give me a hint: Does he have stubby, sticky fingers?

Thank you Mr. Gibson for providing a first hand view of the completely unprofessional conduct of these police officers. It provides context and clarity to this situation. This behavior is completely unacceptable, one can only imagine the police officer's behavior in the heat of the moment that lead to your client being incarcerated. Sadly, I predict your complaints will go no where, there seems to be little to no accountability in the hierarchy of the police force. It is no wonder so many of them seem to act like thugs given this environment.

There is not a single Haitian in Long Island that I am aware of - legal or illegal. Which illustrates an important point, bahamians have created this problem by hiring illegal immigrants. Then our successive governments failed to address the issue of persons born to illegal immigrants living in the Bahamas their entire life with no legal standing. So we reap what we sow. Stop hiring illegal aliens, hire bahamians, and regularize those that are entitled and deport as fast as possible everyone else. It is our own slackness that perpetuates this problem and the sooner we accept that and make changes the better. This unfortunate young lady is very much a product of her environment and it is one bahamians have tolerated and in some measure encouraged.

I hope this is throughly investigated and let the chips fall where they may. Unfortunately, the police force has a reputation for using excessive force, we should require all police to wear body cameras, much more professional training, and a large increase in salary so we can attract much better candidates. There is a dire need for a more professional force.

Good. It is long past time the FNM took a stand to preserve democracy and object to this injustice. We are watching to see if Mr. Minnis truly has the backbone to be prime minister.
