what an idiot, useless government AGAIN. Liars and thieves, ought to be ashamed of themselves. For sure if it was me I would be very embarrassed to have accomplished so little sop far. His old man should have set the grape leaf afloat
he can say what he wants, the police have been beating people for decades and it will continue until they have all been put before a court, spend time in prison and pay hefty settlements to the victims. Immigration beats people. The Bahamas is a third world banana republic, it's time to simply accept that fact.
Most Bahamians have no concept of ease of doing business. Recently in the US, the state mailed me a reminder my car needed a new tag. I went on line and renewed it in a matter of minutes. Three days later I had the new decal in my mail box. When I compare that to my experiences at the road traffic office in Marsh Harbour Abaco? LOL and that's just one easy example. My phone plan with Sprint compared to Batelco LOL again. The Bahamas has a very long way to go but it seems that the FNM either doesn't want to or doesn't know how. I am going with the latter. The owner of CP is 100% correct.
I am not a scientist, but IMHO conch needs to (1) stop all export asap. (2) close conch entirely for 5 to 10 years. (3) implement proper seasons, bag limits and enforcement. Sadly, I see none of that happening. I see the government fumbling ineffectively for several years and conch going away like they did in the Florida Keys. Very very sad.
the police and immigration have been beating people for decades with impunity and it will continue indefinitely. There will be no prosecutions. Who's surprised? Certainly not I. The government is clearly not bothered by this behavior because if they were there would be hell to pay.
that was almost exactly my thought. If you have served and been voted out then you're banned from running again. No repeats, If you've served well, you probably won't be voted out. And term limits, 2 maybe 4 terms and you're done, time for new blood.
LOL, better hope the PLP come back and give dem dey free money. Who ever heard of the world changing? Tings ga stay da same, we gern work here fa life, easy job too. I hope Batelco goes up in flames along with every other government corp. Bahamas Air? please just close up shop. etc
