Firstly from the beginning Kings/Government also seeks advice/council from the Christian leader when a decision needs to be made. When this was not done the people lost battles and were in bondage. Mr. Prime Minister a word to the wise is sufficient. Secondly this is unbelievable and ironic, we are being asked to vote to legalize an illegal business practice. It just keeps getting better in the Bahamas. If we can’t enforce the present laws how will we do it for the new ones? By the way what exactly are we being ask to vote for? How will the government get the money? What steps/procedures will be in place to make sure the money is used for the intended purpose? Who will monitor/police the “gambling shop”? Both governments have a proven record of not being able or willing to do it. All I am hearing from the government is the positive that could come but what about the negative that would come Mr. PM. We hear questions like what will happen to the persons employed by these web shops; nothing should happen to them once the business they are doing is what they have been licenses to do. It is sad and unfortunate but if their boss is breaking the law the business should be close down. There are other illegal businesses that employ people should we legalize them also? If the government wants to go ahead with this referendum I suggest we enforce the present law, close the so called web shops and then have the referendum.
