What about Halkitis tell us what he did with all the Vat money and the overage too. Halkitis is a GREEK name, and we just seen what the Greeks have done to the Greek economy. IADB has told the PLP Government that it cannot manage a complex economy and therefore will "lend" us money to do the job for us. What the IADB don't know is that when these guys don't like the results, they'll just turn it off, or skew the inputs. These people are past masters of deception and cover up.
Abaconian: Not too long ago a party leader election would have been a formality and no one paid much attention to it. Now that we have had the pants on for a while we are experiencing a tight waist and a short crotch and something has to give. Dr. Minnis was the presumed leader after October 2012 and I am sure no one at that time had any idea that there was life after death so to speak. Now that it is realized that there could be life after death it is also realized that Dr. Minnis is not the Messiah and needs to stand down. What you going to do when the car you bought can't get you to work anymore. You going to quit your job and stay home or get another car ? ***Beware Abaco beware, Bay Street coming down.***

**The need for good governance is widely recognize**d in today’s discourses on economic development.Fair and effective governance is critical to ensuring that development benefits both people and the planet itself.
**The IMF has spelled out the relationship between good governance and economic development in its declaration Partnership for Sustainable Global Growth that was adopted by the IMF’s Interim Committee in September 1996.
It identified "promoting good governance in all its aspects, including ensuring the rule of law, improving the efficiency and accountability of the public sector, and tackling corruption" as an essential element of a framework within which economies can prosper.**
One of the most important areas of good governance that governments in the region must effect is **legal frameworks that are enforced fairly and impartially.**
**The enforcement of the rule of law and protection of property rights and fundamental rights of citizens** has an important bearing on economic development.
**Protection of human rights**, particularly those of minorities, and the timely, effective and **corruption-free enforcement of laws require an independent and incorruptible judiciary and police force.**
Experience shows that some of the most important factors considered by investors as they decide on **investment location include a predictable and non-discriminatory regulatory environment and the absence of undue administrative impediments to business.**
These are areas that must be closely monitored and continuously improved upon to attract and sustain higher investment flows. At the same time, policy makers must always be flexible and forward looking.
In particular, **we must avoid becoming stuck in modalities of governance that the rest of the world is moving away from.**
Good governance requires policy and laws to be in sync with current realities and in step with generally accepted global norms.
**The management of public finances is another area where good governance is of paramount importance.**
Fiscal consolidation is vital for countries in the region to avoid inflation while maintaining fiscal and monetary stability and finding resources for public service administration, developmental needs and social welfare expenditure.
**Transparency and accountability, economic management through improved management of public resources through reforms covering public sector institutions and low levels of corruption are other core elements of good governance necessary for meaningful economic development.**
