I am relieved to see that the numbers boys now also run social services after running the Police, the AG's office, the courts and of course the rest of the informal economy.
good point. particularely in a country where the police refrains from enforcing he laws selectively and in a country where obtaining a license (from simple work permit to complex insurance company license can take more than one year...
its funny how even the PM feels compelled to mention the Gaming Bill in the same sentences as the Corruption assessment. How about Renew Bahamas, housing projects, BOB? But it seems the Gaming bill really has it all for a perfect storm.
The implementation of the Gaming Bill will change the Bahamian economy massively. In a country where you cant get a loan/venture capital from legitimate sources, the numbers boys will soon start to control a large array of businesses, private homes, real estate. In this country, cash is king - and the numbers boys have cash. I do believe it will make a few people very rich in a short period time and they will do anything it takes to influence the political process from a to z to have their privileges secured.
It least the multitasking is over. Mr. Nottage: for you "crime" is next on the list. For Mr. Davis: "BEC", for Mr. Christie: "VAT", for Mr. Pinder: "WTO", for Mr.Freddy: "Immigration Reform". Lets go to work fellas. Now that you don't have to worry anymore about retirement funds with the numbers boy being your best friends, its time to give back to the country for a change (rather than taking).
