***Answer:*** To install a solid gold toilet seat in its aft restroom for Stumpy Davis to plant his royal tush on when he needs to take a dump while inflight to Cat Island to campaign.

Spoken by a true proponent of slave labour and one who obviously has no faith in Bahamians being capable of acquiring construction related skill sets from government sponsored trade school programs for which they would be qualified to receive a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. I have to wonder if you have skin in the foreign slave trade.

The worthless cruise ship enterprises that are sucking our country dry should be taxed to death to pay for the revitalisation of Downtown Nassau as well as their pollution of our environment. The cruise ship enterprises have Chester the Jester in their pockets and Pintard really needs to hit on this subject hard, and I mean very hard!

The Tribune's business reporter (Fay Simmons) should have investigated the impact that the bankruptcy of the Red Lobster restaurant chain in the U.S. has had on crawfish exports and the Spanish Wells community.

nothing but a hideously placed paid ad. i didn't even have to read to figure this one out. LOL

I'm much more sympathetic to the misery poor Bahamian families have been going through for decades now as a result of the failure of successive governments to address our nation's invasion by illegal aliens who propagate at an incredibly high rate to amplify their disastrous impact on the quality of life once enjoyed by Bahamians.

The only good thing about seeing the useless Elephant Eared Tommy T in the photo to this article, is being reminded how the cunning Snake has conned him into allowing the Turnquest Family's wealth to be exploited for the Snake's own very greedy personal benefit. LOL

> Pintard said: “I don’t believe it should be willy nilly that a prime minister determines any time of the year that he’s ready to go to election,” he said. “I think you need some predictability in the election system, so I’m not averse to it.”

Pintard really needs to get his head screwed on straight when it comes to fully understanding our system of government.

One of the most important hallmarks of our system of government is that no government is given a guarantee that it will remain in power for a pre-determined set period of time. This is necessary to incentivize the opposing party to be vigilant and aggressive in presenting its views on matters of national importance and the conduct of the government at all times, and not just in a national election year.

As for term limits on being PM, I am supportive of the laws being changed so that no PM serves more than a maximum of two terms, whether consecutive or not, and that no one who has served as PM for two terms ever be eligible to seek elected office again.

As for all other cabinet ministers, they should be limited to serving no more than two terms as such, no matter whether consecutive or not, and no matter the ministry they headed. This would greatly help our nation free itself of the utterly useless and incompetent political dinosaurs like sleazy Freddy Boy Mitchell and loud-mouthed Glenys Hanna-Martin.

Dawes is right. It makes a big difference. All such assets seized and/or confiscated by government from a private business or individual are required by law to be disposed of by means of a public auction (to the highest bidder) for the benefit of the public purse, i.e. all the Bahamian people. Therefore the government should have had this particular asset appraised for the setting of a reserve price and then giving notice of a public auction.

No government under our laws is legally entitled to have any seized and/or confiscated asset "re-purposed" for its own use. Our laws impose a fiduciary duty on the government to maximise the value obtained for the public treasury from the auctioning of all such assets.

It seems our very corrupt PM was not satisfied with his latest toy he purchased at the taxpayers' expense, i.e. his outrageously expensive new fully loaded BMW. Now he wants a another outrageously costly toy ....... a private plane fully renovated to his ridiculously expensive taste. The corruption here at great expense to the taxpayers is of the shameless illegal "in-your-face" kind!

Why hasn't Pintard bothered to make these important points known to the public? Is it because Hubiggity and Brent Symonette like the idea of government having a private plane that they too will be able to fly around the country in if the FNM is fortunate enough to win the next general election? Is Pintard and his dinosaur political advisers no better than corrupt Davis? What's going on here?

Truly sad.

If you're borne in the Bahamas today, you have an incredibly high probability of being murdered by the time you reach age 50 compared to all other nations, excluding those engaged in ongoing wars ....... and that's assuming the current annual rate of murders does not increase over the next 50 years, which is indeed most doubtful.

Living in constant fear of one's life and the lives of one's family members is the greatest legacy successive corrupt politicians in both the PLP and FNM parties will have left the Bahamian people when all is said and done. Make no mistake about it, the corrupt politicians in this Davis led PLP government are much too busy feathering their own nests to be concerned about the out-of-control violent criminal activity in our country today.

And perhaps the most troubling thing is, even if these corrupt politicians were genuinely concerned about the soaring murder rate created by their decades of failed policies, they are much too daft and incompetent to do anything about it.
