Amen!

With regard, I maintain that the lack of insightful leadership is at the heart of these problems. Leaders can lead you only as far as they, themselves, have gone. the people are dying tragically.

Optimism is surely in your corner; as it should rightfully be. However, where delinquency is not rampant, laziness lend to complacency and all precedes corruption. It is a sad time in The Bahamas in general. Maybe we have all been thriving and believing in fairy tales. Who or what can wake us up?

Bey we smart heh?

"mind-boggling"? Not so much so; they know exactly why they stirring this up.

This is about creating a reward or payday for some attorney friend or law firm as a payback to kickback. Work as such in a legal dispute is billed in the millions and cannot be questioned as not being an expense incurred; even though the points of law are so elementary as already noted.

They are all thieves in suit coats!!! It just takes a while, like three years, rather than instantaneously.

Dear Tribune Readers,

If the governing body of the Bahamas rejects the investment application of a foreign, or, for that fact, a local investor, that was an **exercise of discretion**, of which, its outcome is not guaranteed to be, or, go one way or the other. The performance of the contract will rely on whether or not the governing body approves the application. In this case, it did not. Hence, the performance of the contract is impractical.

However, admittedly, the applicant is within their right to apply for judicial review of the discretionary decision, which, in and of itself, may still not be binding on the parties involved in the contract to the extreme. But to say that governing body hands are tied towards making a decision that the authority deems is in the best interest of the community and the broader Bahamas, is totally absurd.
The governing body comes about as a result of the voting public, which, in this case, seems not to be receptive of the earlier proposed foreign investor. Which seems justified.

Friday: Murder. Sunday afternoon: Murder. Sunday night: Murder – **when will the killings end?**.... and so this headline reads.

***answer:*** We can begin by getting rid of the two political parties that keep playing the blame game on the backs of the Bahamian people. This cannot make things any worse.

"Prime Minister Phillip Davis told reporters on the sideline of the parade that he hoped for ***prosperity in the country*** for the New Year.

“**Prosperity** and that each Bahamian will have a life that’s worth living with dignity. That’s what we are working towards,” Mr Davis said."

Our leaders' definition 'of ***'prosperity'***, in fact, therein lays the bedrock foundation of our problems. But again, leaders can only lead as far as they, themselves, have gone. So to what extent, they are blind, they can only take us so far. Hence, we, as a country, are in deep trouble.

Why do successive government administrations posture their success so heavily on the investment and success of foreigners rather than the empowerment, development, and success of its own people, The Bahamians?

Why do they always see our future in the investment potential of foreigners and not in the investment potential of ourselves?
