“the relationship between lack of policy enforcement and lack of economic growth”, suggesting that numerous civil servants had been allowed to exceed the 75 per cent threshold under both PLP and FNM administrations."
That sums up a good deal of the problem in this Country. Civil Servants who borrow too much and then don't perform their jobs preventing the rest of the Country earning a living.
We need to get rid of at least 15% of the Civil Service.
It should be added that because we have not dealt with those who are entitled to be in The Bahamas we have segregated the Haitians into enclaves by telling them that, though they might feel Bahamian, we are saying that they are foreign.
I agree that everyone has rights under The Bahamian Constitution and they can't be held and not charged. To hold someone without charging them is false imprisonment and the Government must pay damages if they do that.
Anyone who is held and not charged is entitled to see a lawyer right away.
I agree that there are a large number of Bahamians of Haitian decent in The Bahamas. BUT they are here because our Defence Force, Immigration Department and Social Service failed to do their jobs.
The real persons we should try to punish are those who took a pay check and did not do their job, not the first generation Bahamians of Haitian decent.
Good and accurate comment. Descendants of Haitians who have been born here ARE just as Bahamian as many of our founding fathers.
Let us not forget that Sir Lyndon and Sir Clement were also first generation Bahamians. Check as to the nationality of Ed Fields father. These individuals are no more Bahamian than the Haitians born in The Bahamas.
To have wisdom you need understanding, experience and knowledge. If you don't know anything about the rest of the world you do not have the wisdom in the discussion above.
Your lack of knowledge of what is happening outside our country, which has a direct impact on our employment and our economy is loud and clear. God gave you a brain, I suggest that you use it for once.

We are very much to blame for the enclaves.

You are correct. In the 1960's we (the Bahama Islands) got our milk, eggs and chicken from Hatchet Bay.
It was ruined by the PLP and their immigration policy.
