Yes, ideas of the Past. To bad they can't run something they think of without it being bankrupt or scraping the barrel.

I'm sorry but this sounds just like the common trope of children in the orphanage getting neglected and because the inspector is coming every thing is fixed up.

We are a democracy you don't just get to say when and when you can't have a protest because you might look bad. I can understand the push for security measures for delegates but it doesn't justify canceling or preventing protest unless it threaten those terms.

Democracy comes before Optics. If you believe in vice versa North Korea and China would gladly welcome you.

They need to put names or unique symbol/seals on immigration documents, if you give out a false document you can tracked and confirmed as a perp.

Good Conclusion.

It would be helpful if they had a proper database of workers and business with business licenses to cross-reference and check if they pay NIB.

If the government was serious about really supporting agriculture they would, be giving out freebie scholarships for AGRI major students, funding /organizing Bahamian Made labels for producer to place on products, advertising a Buy Bahamian week amongst retail/consumers, and providing industrial transport/factories to move and develop produce.

As well as offering subsidies for farmers for equipment and anything they might need.
Ever since farms like Bluefields and Lucayan started dishing out their good all I was seeing was empty shelfs. Bahamians will buy if given a good local option, the government needs to make it even easier for other companies to produce.

They are simply thinning out the competitors, to a certain monopolous few

Wow, a government of the Bahamas ignoring the conventions of the Westminster system, how surprising. Its the government's failing to live up to its current conventions that concerns me about ever supporting a switch of governance to a republic and it explains the disastrous state of this country.

The strong practice of transparent and fair democratic tradition is important for keeping democracy. How come I can watch PMQs in the UK every week and know all about their antics yet I couldn't even tell you where to find Bahamas parliamentary procedure.

The FNM are hypocrites, they only care and fuss while they are in opposition, yet run the same poor/dictatorial standards, while in government.

In our system Backbenchers are constantly threaten/not allowed to vote in constituency interest, our upper house is rigged to the government 9 to 7, we don't hold the PM accountable through PMQs, we allow speakers to remain in political parties, we don't have the ability to redress issues to parliament/ propose bills, we don't have a platform to see what our MPs vote for, we aren't given visual access to what goes on in parliament, civil servant are required to play political musical chairs. and when ever Bahamians protest we get threatened with incrimination and reports of tear gas acquisition.

What a lie, they don't follow the Westminster system, they do the opposite and what ever the hell they want. A bunch of useless and visionless oligarchs.

I say this as a young Bahamian, as long as I stay here I will never elect one of them again.
