Then no more private ports for cruise ships unless fully staffed by Bahamians, there is access to the mainland and local shopping and attractions. There is only one Bahamas and when tourists visit Bahamians must benefit.

The illegal drug market is larger than the GNP of the Bahamas and even larger than this country’s national debt. So the drugs currently passing through The Bahamas is an infantisimal amount compared to what is being trafficked, even to The United States . So why are there not more drugs busted? At current the busts are less than 10 percent of what is allegedly being trafficked. And since both doctors and pharmacist who prescribe opioids and both licensed and registered why aren’t more of them being arrested and charged when an unusual number of their patients die from prescribed drugs overdose?

Messenger I am quite capable of expressing myself so your posts represents you and not me, as I don’t need you to relate for me. Even America has issues with some of its enforcement agencies and only a fool would deny a drug problem exists in the Bahamas. And as president Trump now realizes drug abuse has become deadly. Not that it has not always been. But putting locking up the young men on the streets while the chief drug trafficking or producing honchos go free is not solving the problem. America and The Bahamas must really invest more resources the prevention drug abuse and rehabilitation programs if their efforts to combat drugs are genuine. How much has the US ever donated to The Bahamas for drug abuse or drug prevention programs?

Let’s bet the $1 million they ‘discovered ‘ will neither make it to court as evidence or be deposited to the ‘proceeds of drug trafficking account.’ Because It either never existed,?was counterfeit or will be returned to its ‘owners ‘ who planted it. Who’s policing the police?

You the clown because you are being manipulated. Who has trafficking more drugs than the DEA while locking up and killing young (Black) men?

So are efforts are underway to dismantle and regulate facebook? Do you know that Facebook has more information about more people than probably any government or any other company in the world? And now Facebook is being linked to the Russian- Trump Election scandal. Not only is Zukerberg selling personal and private information for big books but based on your Facebook profile they can influence you by only providing you only with certain information, including screening some and promoting other advertisements. So why are you surprised if you do a google search or watch something on YouTube and ads related to the topic shows up on your Facebook page. And that’s how your Facebook ‘profile ‘ is created and then sold to politicians, marketeers and anyone else for mega bucks. So even if you go to purchase a car, the salesman will already know what you like. And when your politician comes to visit, orvyour pastor ,,,wow

Shouldn’t the prison take an inventory of prisoners (that should be audited) at least three times a year? Of persons are in jail who should not be there, it’s also possible that persons who should be are not. And schizophrenia is a progressive disease that gets worse if not treated so maybe now the prison have reasons to hide him from the public and from family( ( if he is still alive). The family, while having concerns for their relative seem to want to keep their distance because obviously they don’t have the resources or facilities to care for him. But Sandilands has resources and facilities and The Department of Corrections should have transferred him there. If he committed no crime. At least the family could have visited him in dignity.

Sounds similar to the raid where they claim 30 persons were allegedly arrested for drugs, guns and a substantial amount of cashews also taken on one of the black birds. How many people have been charged yet more than a month later? Now go figure the reason why. Some would do anything to disrupt peace and ruin the reputation of this country.
