Oops! I forgot that the very greedy and corrupt Allyson Maynard-Gibson, better known as the Wicked Witch of The West, has in the past served as AG. She takes the number one corrupt, incompetent, and disgraceful spot, with Doofus Pinder taking the number two spot.

Geoffrey Farquharson's well known intimidation and bullying tactics are one thing, but physically threatening a witness certainly falls well outside of what is acceptable in a court proceeding. Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson should never have granted him any leeway to draw her competence as a sitting judge into question.

Talk about an incompetent minister who offers little to no transparency about all kinds of wrongful doings and illegal acts within her portfolio once the public learns about them.

> Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson repeatedly warned him against threatening the witness. Still, he continued to chide Mr Deal.

Any lawyer who threatens to physically harm a witness in a court proceeding presided over by a judge should be referred to the investigation and/or disciplinary arms of the Bahamas Bar Association. The judge should have stopped the proceedings and made this referral on the grounds of wrongful and illegal obstruction of evidence gathering which could now easily form the basis for a mistrial. A witness threatened with physical harm cannot and should not be relied on to testify truthfully.

Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson's failure to expeditiously stop the threats raises many questions as it has likely created the grounds for a mistrial in what is proving to be a very costly trial. She should immediately refer this matter to the Bahamas Bar Association if she has not already done so.

Corrupt Davis was caught red handed in a fraudulent crony capitalism scheme involving thousands of acres of prime seabed property around the Exuma islands that is owned by all Bahamians as Crown Land. The monopolistic scheme was designed by none other than Tony Ferguson as a PPP intended to unjustly enrich himself and a select investor group in a monopoly business venture with only a token amount of tax being paid into the Public Treasury on the huge amount of mooring revenues collected by the favoured investors.

And by refusing to provide the public with any reasonable explanation for their wrong doings and illegal actions in this matter, both Davis and Ferguson have effectively admitted their guilt. Davis should resign as PM and Minister of Finance as doing so is really the only honourable thing he can do in the circumstances. As for the conniving Tony Ferguson, the financial and other regulators in our country should be holding him fully accountable for the role he played in stealthily devising such a devious and corrupt financial scheme intended to unjustly enrich himself and his crony investor group.

It is fundamentally wrong that a crony investor group of wealthy capitalists led by corrupt PM Davis and equally corrupt Tony Ferguson should be given a moorings monopoly by way of illegal Crown Land leases of thousands of acres of seabed so that they can unjustly enrich themselves to the exclusion of all others, especially businesses and rental properties in the mooring areas.

Our government should contract out the development and maintenace of the mooring areas to various unrelated investor groups in a transparent bidding process that ensures the Public Treasury gets its fair share of the annual mooring revenues through both taxes and seabed lease payments. And the seabed leases should not be automatically renewable but rather open to another public bidding process at least every 10 years with each investor group being annually audited by an independent accounting firm so that the government is better able to verify the remittances that benefit the Public Treasury and thereby the Bahamian people.

For obvious reasons, the very greedy and conniving Tony Ferguson should not be involved in any bidding process and that includes no involvement whatsoever in the drafting of requests for proposals from interested investor groups.

The appointees to this Board leave much to be desired.

Doofus Pinder is by far the most corrupt, incompetent, and disgraceful AG our nation has ever had.

Sandals at Emerald Bay proved what you say here. Our corrupt and incompetent politicians offer these foreign investors outrageously generous concessions of every kind, including cheap Bahamian slave labour.

The next time a government official threatens you or your business for having failed to timely file a report disclosing financial information about you or your business, simply tell them that you will do so when your MP has fulfilled all of his or her financial disclosure filing requirements under the Public Disclosure Act, including the full publishing of such information in the Gazette section of the local newspapers.

Easy answer to your question:

These corrupt and incompetent politicians can't stomach the stench and hardships of the shiit-hole nation they have created for us through waste, fraud and abuse so they lavishly and opulently travel abroad as much as they can to get away from it all at our great expense as taxpayers.
