"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?

AMEN!!!
You are absolutely correct in what you have stated.
It seems The Bahamas is for everyone, except Bahamians.

Did he? Izmirlian, that is.

Whogothere, when I speak of education, I am not only referring to the form of institutional education that is taught within the compounds and classes of our schools. It is the responsibility of the government to inform and keep its citizenry informed with information that lends to personal and overall development. In my mind, there is a strategy to do this. The people that stood at the foot at the 'Cross' were hardly children, yet, it was stated, "forgive them for ***they know not***....". The corollary here is, "if they knew better, they would have done better".

Every single soul in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas is in need of new information that can transform their lives and have the consequence of transforming our Country. In other words, we need re-education. There are many errors in the information we have been going on with. So many things are wrong and corrupt with the way we have been conducting our lives from a leadership and follower standpoint. This article, being written and the question it poses, in and of itself, is evidence of this.

This cadre of politicians is not equipped nor prepared for this undertaking. Their whole pursuit to get in and hold government office is aimed merely at accomplishing a life achievement for themselves, their friends, and their lovers. It has nothing to do with their preparedness to serve the general public, or, the fact that they are equipped, willing, and able to serve everyone irrespective of background and social status.

Have we seen any real concerted focus and care being directed at the high spate of murders? No! Global warming is their priority while some 140 young men and women die yearly from violence. This would be my top priority to deal with, irrespective of my broad and yet collective approach.

Policing crime is not a solution. It does not prevent crime. There is no consolation in knowing who kill your loved one. How stupid! The idea is for your loved one not to be killed at all. Criminal activities, for the most part, are to be prevented, not simply discovered.

And notwithstanding the credit due to your recommendation, I hold that education can take on an even broader scope than just our children. It can be all-encompassing should you know what it is that you are doing and the changes you hope to affect. However, I concur, education is key.

And not to come across as being repetitive pertaining to what fundamentally has to first happen, but neither political entities, the PLP nor FNM, are capable of doing this (global climate change is their priority - not us). The Bahamian people have got to rid themselves of both fascinations.
