The FNM party criticized the PLP party on a comedy show hosted by RTD despite having the opportunity to construct a modern Traffic Department Facility that leading industry players supported. Unfortunately, the FNM chose cronyism over the needs of the Bahamian people, resulting in the current poor state of the RTD. The former FNM Minister's corrupt practices, which followed him from his previous appointment and subsequent dismissal, led to the Bahamian people missing out on the benefits of a modern facility. In contrast, PTI Bahamas has presented a fair and comprehensive plan to address all stakeholders' concerns, including the department's current issues with rodents, historical fraud, and criminal activity.
The proposal remains valid, and it would be wise for the minister to work with PTI's team to progress the project with the sole interest of the good people of The Bahamas in mind. PTI's plan could establish a new RTD with nine locations across the Bahamas, including three locations in Nassau and two in Freeport, before the next general elections. This would be achieved over the next 15 months and the next three years to complete the family island facilities.
I almost feel sorry for the young lady when you have an 'old dinosaur' like Leslie breathing fire and molten sulphur down her throat for a lifeline out of his financial troubles. No wonder the Minister has not jumped ship already from the disaster called the PLP.
Unlike Zionism, which is a construct of sick, diseased minds of a racist, Supremacism ideology, Hamas is the heroic aspirations of a people determined to be free and a spirit that will never die. When people are subjected to this level of inhumanity and oppression, their will to survive is a testament to the indomitable spirit that resides within every Palestinian.
"18 murders in the capital since the beginning of 2024" is a joke for where these people come from; their news normally reads "18 murders at one school since the beginning of 2024"
Why do we allow our personal data to be controlled by unknown companies through open-ended contracts, putting our privacy at risk?
How can we address the issue of party cronyism in the Bahamas, where political affiliations lead to questionable deals, favouring family and friends in service contracts, ultimately burdening the government and restricting fair competition?
Why are Bahamian vehicle owners subjected to high prices for subpar license plates that deteriorate quickly, raising concerns about the quality and durability of such essential items?
What measures can be taken to curb the illicit activities associated with the RTD backdoor business, recognizing its role in fueling a multimillion-dollar criminal enterprise that adversely impacts every Bahamian when dealing with drivers without the necessary documentation or insurance?
It's crucial to focus on these pressing issues and avoid diverting attention to less significant matters. Let's address corruption and advocate for transparency and accountability in our community.
Moreover, when considering answers to the question, "Who will benefit from the rent for the next 25 years or more?" it is essential to illuminate your curiosity by acknowledging the looming burden of a 30+ million dollar debt for the developer to repay.
Yet, the default narrative tends to involve insulting questions when it comes to Bahamians. This situation brings to mind a statement from a former FNM Minister who once asked, "Who are you three Black Boys fronting for?" Interestingly, such demeaning questions rarely surface when 'White Faces' secure substantial gains from questionable contracts. Instead, we often settle for mere handshakes, leaving us with a sense of accomplishment but frequently at the expense of fair treatment and equitable compensation.
It's somewhat amusing, though I shouldn't find joy in the Minister's current predicament, which was foreseeable due to prioritizing party interests over accepting a viable solution to resolve the RTD issues for the next two decades, all at no additional cost to the Bahamian people, except for service expenses. I could almost say,

The irony, the FNM criticizes the PLP on RTD's comedy show. The FNM should be held accountable for the current state of the RTD, a consequence of their corrupt practices. The Bahamian people missed out on the advantages of a modern Traffic Department Facility due to the former FNM Minister's cronyism and blatant self-interest. PTI Bahamas has presented a fair and comprehensive plan, addressing concerns from all stakeholders connected to the traffic department, including the rodent issue.
The proposal remains valid, and it would be wise for the minister to set aside personal pride and party interests that serve the needs of some and collaborate with PTI's team to progress the project in the sole interest of the good people of The Bahamas. In contrast to the short-sightedness of the Minnis Administration, PTI's plan could result in the establishment of a new RTD (over the next 15 months) with nine locations across the Bahamas in the next three years, including three locations in Nassau and 2 in Freeport before the next general elections.
Do you notice that we don't have traffic problems on days when schools are closed, and Bahamians travel off the island?
Certain individuals may deem it wise to utilize instances of fluctuation in traffic flow and road congestion as catalysts to commence planning for economic diversification from being solely Nassau-centric. This would involve promoting significant development on other islands while simultaneously seeking industries that can accommodate a high employee complement, leading to two to three thousand individuals relocating to other islands for meaningful employment and fostering the development of new communities. If ten such developments are established over the next decade, Nassau could see a depopulation of approximately 30 to 40 thousand Bahamians as new communities, government, and other consumer services and schools follow suit to these new developments.
"Constructing overhead bridges and underpasses may simply shift the problem to the next intersection without addressing the root cause. Restrictions on individual freedom of movement, such as carpooling mandates, have proven ineffective. The public bus system could be a viable solution, but it requires proper planning and implementation, which may not be feasible in the Bahamas, which is not a planned environment."
Regrettably, Dr. Finlayson's (April's) father, who was a Bahamian national, has passed away. So DNA testing makes this a more complex challenge, however, given the reputation of the Bahamas for being corrupt and unjust towards its citizens. There is a possibility that someone within the system may be interfering in the "Finlayson Family Affairs" and causing trouble.
Indeed, here's some 'Helpful' insight into the situation. The Bahamas, quite uniquely and perhaps intentionally, some may say; boasts the world's largest concentration of Bull, Tiger, and Hammerhead sharks. Their migratory routes span from Clifton, Goulding Cay, Bimini, Freeport, and Norman's Cay to Green Cay near Rose Island. Divers, myself included, can attest to fascinating encounters with these majestic creatures in these areas.
However, the crux of the matter lies in the fact that many Bahamians are not intimately familiar with the seas surrounding us. While these underwater realms are teeming with life, there's a gap in understanding among our people about the developments beneath our noses, should we choose to take notice. The call for "Help" resonates in addressing potential risks associated with shark encounters and, more significantly, in fostering a deeper connection and awareness among Bahamians regarding the marine environments that define our beautiful country.
Just picture this: hand over the thrilling job of collecting fish waste to a 'White Person' who unveils their fermentation and bottling process in the news, and when the fertilizer products start appearing on the shelves at CBS and Kelly's, priced at $35 dollars a bottle; then we'll have every 'tom, dick, and harry' racing to get their hands on fish waste faster than you can say 'Noni and Moringa'!
