We should make it law that any MP who has failed to disclose by March, in any year that he is an MP, may not run again in the next election.

Get rid of Renew and hire a real landfill operator.

Now, this will probably mean that there will be no greased wheels as a real landfill operator will be related to people whose business practices do not permit such a thing.

Economist says...

Mr. Rolle, perhaps it is a case of Loretta Butler-Turner being able to convey the message more effectively.

RealityCheck, I take it you believe in Christian values. Take number One for example.

**You are saying that you reward the Bahamian woman who has children out of wedlock, but punish her is she marries and has her children legitimately.**

You say if you fornicate or commit adultery we will reward you. But you say, **"How dare you get married and have children in wedlock, I must punish you"**.

At the moment, if a Bahamian woman **has the child out of wedlock the child gets automatic citizenship.**

If a Bahamian woman **has a child in wedlock you punish her by refusing her children automatic citizenship**

And we call ourselves a Christian nation.

Economist says...

Pray tell what are the undesirable motives? Give us the details on say number one and number two.

Economist says...

Let us stick to the law of the land.
**1. There is a Court Order; it should be followed.
2. To announce that one is not going to comply with a Court Order is wrong.
3. For any politician to say that they are not going to comply with the law is to act like a pirate.**
4. Tal raises the point as to where the money came to do the video. By all means follow that up. But ask yourself Tal, if someone threatened your family, you reported it repeatedly, wrote letters and had meeting with the police and still they did nothing, would you object to the truth being exposed?

Economist says...

The Central Bank has always been reactive. They don't have a clue, and I doubt that they care as long as they get their paycheck at the end of the month.

If they had to work in the private sector they would have been fired years ago.

Economist says...

In other words they are saying to the people of The Bahamas that they encourage the criminal activity in the country as they, by example, will also break the law.

So this is what MP Bell meant that the Crime plan was working.

Economist says...

In the other report in the Tribune today

***"the Renew Bahamas chief said it now had “a better understanding” of what a viable landfill management operation requires."***

and here he says ***“The phrase I like to use is: ‘I don’t know what I don’t know’,” Mr Beukes explained. “There were a lot of unknowns taken on with a project like this.****

This proves that Renew should never have been hired by government in the first place.

Real landfill operators know what is entailed. And yes, there were real landfill operators who bid for the job.

So show us the renew contract, and explain why government gave people who did not understand, a contract.

Something smells very bad.
