Does anyone ever recall anyone going to jail as a result of a Commission of Inquiry?
I agree that the Auditor-General should be given what he needs to investigate and prosecute those who have abused their power. Maybe someone will go to jail.
Mr. Sears, many wanted to vote for you but could not risk you being the one who took the PLP over the top to another 5 years, so they voted strategically.
People voted against the corruption and the secrets and the lack of accountability of the PLP. The FNM happened to be the beneficiary.
The DNA also lost votes because no one could stomach the idea of another 5 years of the PLP and many DNA's also voted strategically.
Had you won the leadership, and been able to persuade 5 or 6 of the last cabinet not to run, you might have seen a different story.
Under normal circumstances you would have won your seat.
Mr. Rolle is correct. This was not done by the PLP.
Indeed, the initial funding came from the IDB as the World Bank and others are concerned about the downward economic trend of The Bahamas.
Those who participated were from a very wide range of interests, as required by the IDB.
There is a website, just google vision 2040. It probably is the best source of information on The Bahamas current economic and social position that I have seen. And, it is all in one place.
I agree, that there is no way that this will benefit Freeport. Sarah St. George is pathetic. How useless can you be? Ms. St. George is supposed to be looking out for the residents and Licensees.
So who will own the site, Carnival? So Bahamians can get a few jobs. Will Bahamians be able to operate their own business in the 226 acre site?Or will Bahamians just be Tenants?
Who is going to do the dredging and .....oh yes.....where is the Environmental Impact Study?
These guys have been illegally making millions for years, paying no taxes, and have been allowed to keep their ill gotten gains, and they are complaining?
