***The bill stresses that the findings of air accident investigators cannot be used in criminal proceedings. The role of air accident investigators is to ascertain the facts, not ascribe blame.

Englerston MP Glenys Hanna Martin and PLP leader Philip “Brave” Davis expressed concern about this, however, saying it may fly in the face of the emerging jurisprudence on the matter.***

Glenys Hanna Martin was the minister for aviation she should know that the same applies to investigation around the world. Then again she was a worthless minister

The passage of this bill is designed to increase employment and revenue of The Bahamas. The revenue is used to the social issues. No revenue and no employment means no solution to poverty, just more misery.

Economist says...

Absolutely correct.
I don't care if you FNM or PLP. Are you qualified and capable of doing the justice to the job?

Economist says...

Good point, them too.

Thank you Mercy Corps.

Shame on the the GBPA and GBUC for not doing anything. You are still pumping bad water that is ruining all our appliances and cutlery.

You can charge us for that bad water so you can fill your fat pockets for your lavish life styles.

Instead of spending the money to give us potable water.

Greedy, very greedy. The St. George and Hayward families need to go.

***"I know my shareholders would entertain anything in the best interest of Freeport,"***
Any accountant would know to say his board, not shareholders.

No doubt, in this case, the shareholders are also on the Board of Directors. It is the Directors, not the shareholders, who call the shots in an incorporated company.

He is on the Board, and president, yet he talks about the shareholders.

Clearly, unlike real Presidents, he has no authority.

The Civil Service must share much of the blame for this country's poor economic performance.

On At this rate, we will soon be off the charts

Senior Civil Servants did not like the plan. Maybe that is why it is not seeing the light of day.
