Tribune still gat dese old trolls on here with dem poison pens spreading false ilies and innuendo. To the four or five fateful who is waste time digging in tgevdeeer.

How many jet ski operators have had their lives destroyed and spent years in jail after being falsely accused of rape. Amongst the most recent is an 18 y/o who was falsely accused and charged with rape. Then after the accuser left the Bahamas, she posted on her Facebook page that itb as her idea for the young boy to take her to a nearby island and juice her in the sand. But when she returned to her hotel, the people who she was traveling with made her feel like she had done something dirty and nasty ( getting juice of tge beach in The Bahamas, and forced her to file rape charges

Unless you are an idiot, which may or may not be debatable, both Wayne Munroe and the Commissioner of Police besides the recent surges in murders were connected to one or two incidents and once the police penetrate these matters and arrest those responsible for those crimes ( murders) the incidences of murder bwill decrease. Thus far the words had held true and murders have subsided. In one instance those responsible bfor some of the murders may have not been all Bahamians and in another instance it may have been a teen terror , who was out on bail after being charged with FOUR murders, continuing to expedite a killing rampage.

And it was Americans who stood up the strongest against the State Department’s travel advisory and the US media’s miscarriage of the facts or exaggeration of real crime situation in the BaHamas. It was the regular visitors to The Bahamas and some recent visitors and some who were at the resort at the time the two Kentucky burbons claimed they beer raped that doubted their story. And a number of them posted videos to discredit the two women’s claims.

Where are those two kentucky Carrots not my description but that is what they are being called on social media) who claim they were raped at a resort in Freeport? Where are they? If they were so credible and their claims of rape so legitimate, then why have they gone into hiding. Why haven’t the FBI came forth and made public their findings. Obviously this was an orchestrated effort to crush and damage or even destroy the Bahamian tourist economy but it backfired. The backlash to those two plants ( ok carrots) was so great on social n media they bran for cover faster than a Potcake in Halloween when b fireworks gettin lick off! Dis da new generation. Did ain’t da era when you make false allegations of rape and cause Black men to lose their lives or even entire communities to get burned to the ground.

IF the cruise lines find so much danger in The Bahamas and the Caribbean for their cruise ship passengers, then why don’t they take their ships elsewhere? It’s purely and solely about greed. And this action of hoggish behavior and hogging the tourist will stop. falsely painting this picture of Bahamians being violent savages just to take bread out the mouths of babies will stop. This new generation will not sit idle and be hoodwinked and bamboozled… jus watch!

Is that what is happening in Florida these days. Is that why Miami broke ranks with Spring Breakers after 780 arrests last year, over 250 weapons confiscated or impounded. thirteen shootings on ONE beach in a single day, hundreds of thousands in property damage, public drunkenness and excessive drug abuse and nude and lewd behavior. You hit the nail on the head, white head.dred.

It seems to be the modus operandi of this government to put information in the public domain, get the public to react, than either confirm or deny the information is genuine and actually the government’s position. With the recent increase in minimum wage, and the overall increase in wages and salaries, post Covid, one would think the increased revenue would help ease NIB’s financial position. But apparently not so. Two problems NIB faces is increased in death benefits due to increased numbers of people dying relatively young. Then there is increased payouts for catastrophic illnesses that can be long term and expensive. And there is also the failure of many foreign companies to pay their regular n contributions. Fortunately NIB now requires work permit holders must bring their NIB contributions up to date before the work permit ncanbbe issued,

And if an increase in NIB contributions is slated for July, shouldn’t the business community know about it by now and the amount of tge increase?

Chester Cooper is an astute businessman and it is shocking to say he is surprised to know that some of the cruise lines this government is most in bed with is hoggish sucking fish that are trying to take every dollar back that they cruise passengers bring here and otherwise keep every dollar from leaving the ship. And this is nothing new. Before Chester Cooper took office, another astute businessman, Dinonsio D’Aguilar, had to terminate an agreement where government was paying cruise lines millions of dollars annually for their cruise ships to come to The BaHAMAS. Imagine that The Bahamas is the most valuable port on a Caribbean cruise ship destination and the government was paying them to come here. And it should have been the other way around. And the day must come when cruise ships will have to bud fora contract to travel to The Bahamas and pay no less than 20 percent of the gross of that part of the gross to the Bahamian people bud a vis the government, there is an opportunity cost to the Bahamian people when cruise ships come here and there must and will be tangible benefits to Bahamians.

.and peep this: some cruise directors have been telling cruise ship passengers; ‘ Do not go to the Nassau Straw Market! The straw products are contaminated with bugs and if you purchase anything, it will not be allowed on the ship .’ Why so much hostility and negativity against The Bahamas and Bahamians when our country is their bread and butter.
.

The government MUST step up to the plate on this matter. It must communicate more with bahamians in the industry and STOP treating them as undesirables and outcasts. It must stop taking the word of the big and powerful players as gospel whilst they twist and turn Thr Bahamian tourist product into something foreigne and one that excludes Bahamians or benefit Bahamians whilst reaping unprecedented and windfall revenue and profits for them. Any tour or taxi driver or beach vendors can affirm the horrors stories cruise directors, especially are telling their passengers.

Such a great and peaceful person. With a passion for law and order to the end. May he test in peace.
