B J Nottage should do himself and the country a favor and go into late retirement and take Keith Bell with him. cRIME especially murderis increasing at an increasing rate and Nottage is in denial. The conviction rate is too low to be a deterrent or get criminals off the street.
They have a spokesman for the government in the media worshipping VAT and claiming how good it is for the Bahamian economy. Yet one of his employees ends up dead after committing suicide after losing his job after ten years on that job. Whats wrong with that picture?
When the person in charge can stand in a public place and blatently lie about the crime figures, especially murder, being down then you must wonder if they are serious about combating crime. One must also wonder who is really behind these increasing murders when the conviction rate is so low. High ranking police officers and their sons are being accused of gangsterism and rogue justice and no one answers to it. Just on the front page of today's Tribune a story indicates that child abuse is up 22% and with murder up 18% how can Nottage at his age and gray hair stand in a public place and mislead the public with obvious lies. He may as well color his hair with shoe polish like some others in his clan and live a bigger lie.
A famous quote says "do not weep for those who die but save your tears for those who are not yet born." The plan ain't working and so we must weep with those who mourn.
Perry Christie's legacy will have a big blood stain on its page. Based on current trend, some 500 and closer to 600 persons will have lost their lives in the Bahamas if PGC remits office in 2017. Most of them will be Bahamians and even more of them will be young Bahamian males under the age of 23 years old. All dead in five years. And while most will agree that this is not a political problem and while the PM and his government will maintain it was not for a lack of effort on their part , more police cars and equipment, more man power on the streets, more intelligence on the ground and even calls for the commissioner of police to step down, the fact will still be that over 500 killings occurred under their watch. But the more telling tale in all of this is that despite more than 500 persons losing their lives in criminal induced death, less that 50 persons will have been convicted and be serving time in prison for murders they com did between 2013 and 2017. The numbers speak for themselves: 500 plus murders committed, less than 50 murderers committed. The cold, chilling facts.
