Good point - however, let me update you on the specifics you may be missing. Government employees are commanded by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry they work for, and he/she is commanded by the Governor General. This is true for all except Finance which is commanded by the Financial Secretary (even though it also has a Permanent Secretary).
The PS of Finance is just a figurehead. The Prime Minister (nor any MP) has authority to make/stop any government employee from doing anything. The only thing the PM can do is fire a government employee "in interest of government" - but he can't do that all the time or else the Permanent Secretaries will turn on him.
So, the "executive" is not the Cabinet, even though the love the the public to believe that. The Cabinet makes policy and suggest legislation and regulations. They have no executive power. The Parliament (even though many of the same in Cabinet) make Law. The Courts interpret anything in the law which is unclear or which has to be applied to an unforeseen scenario which was not contemplated at the time the law was written, or is suggested to be unconstitutional.
What is going on here, however, is the Cabinet thru their "influence" over the Finance Ministry has control over any expenditure by the Legislature (The House & Senate) and the House has not seen fit in over 40 years to provide the House itself with a budget.
The Cabinet exercises this influence by refusing to appoint anyone to the position of Financial Secretary (knowing how powerful that position is). We have had an "acting" Financial Secretary since prior to 2010 thru 2 changes in PMs.
It is a very slick move by government. They feign democracy by no longer having the PM be the Minister of Finance (like Pindling and Ingraham) - but chopping off the head of finance by not having an FS.
Since civics is not taught in our schools, the vast majority of Bahamians do not even know that this is a problem. A problem "unknown" is well hidden. I must give them credit for their craftiness.
One has to truly wonder what was the purpose of the Constitutional Reform Commission, and how is it that its members have remained silent for over a decade now.

Mr. Myers, "Living with Covid Coalition"??? Seriously??? Who wants to live with Covid. We cannot "LIVE" with Covid - we can only be zombies with Covid. The society that China wants to place us in is not workable for us, and not acceptable.

This is the kind of world that the Biden folks want to create. 12 weeks ago, it appeared that Biden was going to win. Trump was down in the polls. So, likely, not to be on the wrong side - the government had to agree with your plan so they would not get in trouble with Joe after the election.

Now that Trump is clearly heading for victory, it seems the government has chosen life over zombie-life. Good choice. After he wins, Trump will very likely be firing no less than 500 people throughout the government in less than a week perhaps even within 24 hours. Draining the swamp has been shown not to work. Water pumps are needed to empty it at a super fast rate. I'm sure those pumps are fueled and primed, ready to crank up.

Life will return soon. Just say no to zombies. Refuse zombies. Do not associate with zombies. Zombies are not good - they are neither alive nor dead, often referred to as the "living dead". Not a good thing at all. Let us return to life and a respect for nature which has proven us weak and ignorant by comparison. It is hilarious that people who cannot cure the common cold are suddenly super experts and have all the answers (like saying ONLY a vaccine can solve the problem). The Earth knows more than we do.

I is always check the pockets of my pants before I trow dem in da washer. No money laundering for me. I needs my couple dollars.

They chose the right country to invade. Bahamians don't have enough intelligence and coordination to publicize which stores are ordering groceries from this warehouse and organize a boycott. Heck - just like it was not revealed who the actual company is - it may even be against the law to organize a boycott in the Bahamas. It is illegal to protest "without a permit". So the people have no democratic tools at their disposal to prevent this take-over.

They can only go in the store and buy what is on the shelves. No knowledge of where it comes from. Just spend ya money, pay ya VAT, ink ya fingah, and shut ya mout.

When I read the headline, I wondered to myself "Who could possibly be writing this article now?" Asked and answered. I should have known. On the bright side, it is nice to know there is at least one person in this country who does not have a family member in prison for this silly reason.

Mr. Bodie, why don't we just lock up ALL young Bahamian men between the ages of 16 and 25. Would that satisfy you people? Would you be happy then? It is beyond my imagination what could be the source of this much hatred toward our own people.

Long past time.

Silver lining? April? LOL If we can stay shut down until April (an entire year) then we may as well stay shut down another year. Heck, we should have just shut down last year for no reason. People are living, eating, in their apartments, power is on, water is on. What do we need to work for? Let 's have a permanent lock down. Think of the lives that will be saved from potential traffic accidents !!! Remember, losing one life is too many !!!! LOL

Very stupid idea from the PLP. So many people have Covid with no symptoms. The number of positives is likely way higher than the numbers who have been tested positive. Same worldwide. Does the PLP really want the true numbers to come out to affect tourism?

The same is happening in the USA. They have provided millions of test kits and so many people are able to be tested, that of course the number of positives is high. Do you really think the availability of testing in the USA is the same worldwide? Do you think people in Egypt are easily able to be tested? Of course not. Thus their numbers are low - and it SEEMS like the Corona virus problem in Egypt is smaller than the USA. The info that will come out between now and Dec 31st is going to blow the minds of the majority of CNN followers.

One death is too many from Covid. Thousands of deaths from starvation, heart attacks, cancer, kidney failure, children getting F minus for grade ? No problem. By the way, let's thank Covid that nobody will die from pneumonia this year - first cough? Covid.

Amazing the way people are treated in our country's Christian prison system.
