Bahamian journalists really need to start fact-checking these politicians. Millions of dollars were not spent for renovation and as the Tribune stated only $9.2 million extra was paid to date. Just how Chester Cooper got to $135m is beyond me.
We do not know if the allegations are true. I pray that it is not. But this blame cannot be placed on the current government. This has been going on for years. The police officers in this country need proper training on how to investigate and handle matters without beatings and other forms of coercion. We also need magistrates and judges who will throw out cases where it is seen that the confessions were coerced due to beatings. We need defendants and medical personnel brave enough to testify against the officers and lawyers brave enough to defend them. We need lawsuits, lawsuits and more lawsuits with hefty payouts to send a very strong message to the police force. It has to stop now.
The Allen gentleman appears to be stirring the pot for no sensible reason. If he has already acknowledged that his 'fear' is not going to happen, then what exactly is he complaining about? Is it safe to assume that he has politic aspirations and is using the public's general concerns on WTO to bolster his politic future? Or am I just reaching? Like he is reaching.
