We need to keep our eye on the rulings by the courts. Generally, and I say generally, what they rule is the way we should behave.
Bluesky you seem to have a beef with Rufa. That is fine and good, but if the court says that his deportation was not proper, then it is not proper and no amount of your personal feelings can change the fact that he should be able to stay.
All the court has said is tat if you want to remove someone do it properly under the law and not underhanded and illegally. Government must respect the law.
I have had potential investors say that they are not going to invest at the moment until they see if a new government will come to power.
They mention immigration as the number one problem followed by government interference in Baha Mar and the failure to extend the Hawksbill Creek Agreement.
Thank you for letting people know that non-Bahamians are concerned.
A concerned Resident is a good resident. Thank you.
How much did this trip cost the country? See all those who attended? You know that they did not fly in the back of the plane. Say $50,000 for airline tickets.
Baltron Bethel only stays in the most expensive hotels. How many nights plus lavish meals.
Expenditure between $100,000.00 and $150,000.00 on expenses plus salaries for everyone at another $40,000.00.
Man they had better deliver the goods when you spend that kind of money (around $200,000.00 of our money) on a business trip.
This is a result of incompetence. Where is the plan?
All of this could have been avoided if the Ministry responsible had a plan.
An alternative location for as many vendors as possible should have been planned and the plan should have been made known to the vendors in November last year.
The Ministers involved must have known that jobs were at stake.

What would you expect an Uncle Tom to say?
Nothing has happened since he has been president. His actions, or should one say, his failure to act at all, says it all.
He is a good part of the problem.

How do they pose a threat?
Maybe because their detention exposes the "Papa Doc" mentality of this government?

The Prime Minister has done the right thing in delaying the introduction of NHI.
Good for the Prime Minister to be man enough to realize the errors of his ways and delay this.
I know hope that he will fix our broken health system, and plug the $100 million annual leak before considering NHI again.
Well done P.M.!!!
On PM: NHI delay likely as govt tries to get it right
