This Government has fostered a lifestyle that the average Bahamian is, and will forever be, unable to attain in the normal course of living. In my view it is largely the fallout from the proliferation of the web shops but also the flaunting by the civil servants and politicians who have been the beneficiaries of unbounded corruption. No one will ever know how much graft was paid out over Baha Mar and every other FDI under Christies watch. Reading these comments is getting scary because there is only one way to get rid of a bad government before an election and that is not good but the commenters are growing in number, and also in fury and the pot is starting to boil over. I hope Tal and birdie are in fact government trolls because somehow the word need to get back.
I don't think they are smuggled, they just pay the Customs people to clear them ! Along with the High end cars and luxury goods. Mandate that All banks must disclose politician and civil servant account activity and you will start to stop the CRIME.
I don't know why the Government doesn't compete with the private insurers and leave it at that. What Bahamians don't realize is that we are, in many ways, like the oil producing nations. We have an additional 5+ million tourists who pay our customs duties, taxes and VAT in this country and that is one boatload of money. If the various governments ( PLP & FNM ) didn't piss it away we would have a huge surplus and could look after our less fortunate people from the Consolidated Fund. Has anyone said what they did with all the VAT last year ? You will never know !
This is too ridiculous. The people can never win against stuff like this. The Magistrate should do the time and let the drug dealer sentence this guy to whatever the penalty is for tiefing drugs. Did they confiscate the gun or let him keep it ?.
