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
