I wish someone were to speak out this emotionally and forcefully against corruption in this country. I believe LGBT etc are tiny tiny issues compared to the big elephant in the room. Why is corruption not so much emotionally charged? It drags us down, puts us 100 years behind any reasonable development, destroys the dreams of our kids, and young people,
Well it's obvious that they got push back from FATF. This is far from being over. The bill is nothing more than government approval of organized money laundering and even MPs that vote for this May become targets of FATF actions.
Baha Mar was grandstanding a R(equest)F(or)P(roposal) for its own renewable energy plant to produce electricity through photovoltaic systems. The process was handled very poorly and amateurish, and as I know of today, it did not happen and will not happen. If there is not enough energy for Baha Mar, it is their own mistake. If you build a resort like that in a place like the Bahamas where the management must know that infrastructure is a critical issue and don't deal with it, that will hit back home.
I also don't understand why the past governments did not require these big projects such as Albany, Ginn, Atlantis, Baha Mar to pick up the tab for the expanded infrastructure they consume (airport, energy, water plants, public transportation). This is amateurish as well by the governments of both political parties and all the people feeling or being responsible for the Bahamian economy and the well being of us Bahamians. Incl. the leading business men of the country, heads of Chamber of Commerce etc. But I guess this has to do with the sweet sound of money. The whole nation will suffer from it again.
I guess the timing is off to bring these issues to the forefront. It looks like volunteering to step in front of an execution commando that has loaded weapons. Always baffles me how blunt and in your face LGBT activists are. At the end of the day many other minorities (kids living in Bahamas w/o Passports, foreign spouses etc.) will suffer from any backslash, a NO vote will have.
