Minister when you have found out where all the money is going (Tribune article 2016 about the Ministry of Health not being able to account for over $100 million) then come back to us and we the Bahamian people will listen.

Typical of the Unions to want more than is provided by law. That is one of the biggest reasons tat we have such high unemployment.

Many Civil Servants have been getting a pension from the first day they went to work. They got there job because of some political connection and have let the real Civil Servants do all the work.

People talk, so get rid of those who are superfluous and help make the Civil Service what it can be.

At the moment the Civil Service and its inefficiencies are killing our economy.

"There is nothing to suggest that Deltec, Ansbacher and their respective executives/Boards have done anything wrong in relation or Ortega or the wider money laundering scandal."

That comment is significant as it would appear that no accusations, of wrong doing, have been made against The Bahamas in this matter.

"If you take for example the (cases of) Tynes, or Takitota, who were all given many decades ago $300,000 to $700,000 in damages for illegal arrest and detention."

That is Harvey Tynes Q.C. He is Bahamian. And, you guessed it, Fred Smith took his case and won.

Well said.

PHA is a deep whole into which we poor money. Until there is a proper accounting of how the money is spent I am 100% against NHI.

Remember 2016 Tribune report stating that Min of Health could not account for 100 million dollars.

For clarification.
The right to detain is based on more than mere suspicion. There must be reasonable cause. The word "reasonable" is a legal term and is not as easy as most people interpret it.

Read the paper put out by the Ministry of Finance. It sets out what they have spent so far and that the balance is by way of mortgage.

A good start! Keep it up.
