Fuzzy logic whereby the ordinary citizen gets his power and cable and water turned off if he or she is in arrears for less than a few months, evicted if in arrears with rent yet we are expected to believe that nobody monitors rental payments from these shops to NAD on a monthly basis. Can you imaging owing a a private landlord $10,000 and then saying if you discount it by $5000 I will pay the rest ?????. Of course there was political / personal intervention and the public have to subsidise this 4th world way of doing business by higher airport fees. Simple pay up or get out and go to court.

Great keep exposing these crooks, but name and shame them and those involved should be prosecuted. The public needs to know names.

This shows why the Bahamas is due to flounder in this modern world when you obviously don't understand the bigger picture. If a Bahamian teacher goes to America or Germany or the UK they are employed under the same terms as a native. In the Bahamas no- an expatriate/permanent resident can work his entire life here doing the same as his Bahamian colleagues but upon retirement is not entitled to a teachers pension. This is discrimination and it seems that it is rife in this country. Never mind Birdie you carry on thinking that these things are right and see how it backfires in the long run.

You may be technically right but morally wrong and what needs to change is this"we are the Bahamas and we can do what we like". The reality is that this little country can be closed down financially and physically with the stroke of a pen and believe me there are countess destinations with the same blue waters , sunny skies, and sandy beaches which can be visited including airfare for a lot less than this overpriced destination. This we are the best and the rest of the world owes us a living is dead in the water, just look at the recent figures showing how once again the Bahamas has slipped in the rakings of the " ease of doing business countries". My point is simple, you can do whatever you want because this is your country but the reality my friend is that outside forces enable you to live and disregard the rules of fair play and you will reap the fallout.In fact we already are.

I bet Mr Majors runs his private cliental much more efficiently that the debacle of carnival.

Not incompetent BUT they have to act and act now. No we will not pay all the incoming bills without careful scrutiny, no letting all the recent pre election hires stay in place, fire the consultants, terminate the director of education who is 2 years past retirement, in essence cut cut and cut again expenditure------- There is no other choice.

There is no time for rhetoric, it is time to investigate all the missing money, name and prosecute the thieves and start doing the job in hand. Sorry to say but cancel the 52 week employees who in many cases have nothing to do. Do not rehire . Retire the employees rehired after reaching retirement age, stop expensive projects such as the mini hospital in Palmetto Point and elsewhere. So many expats and Bahamians are getting their money out of the country in anticipation of further downgrading and devaluation. Christie and his rougues have a lot to answer for and have handled the national purse like a kid with his first credit card. Despite record VAT and the many other tax increases we still have a crumbling infrastructure. Take central Eleuthera as an example where a regular water supply is something of a novelty and no two days go by without a water supply yet nothing is done.

Bet all the lawyers and staff got their cash. Disgustingly clear case of foreign discrimination.Certainly will affect recruitment in the future.

"Paints it in a negative light" wow? This is the government that hired all those persons just before the election simply to buy votes, A prime minister who said "it is easy to piss away money". Presided over a downgrade and increased spending despite record taxes including Vat .Used the so called "peoples station" as a PLP propaganda machine. A party who have proven MP's who took financial incentives and or solicited business for their personal gain. What the hell , you made your own "negative light" or rather darkness.

Start with the Minister of Education, two years past retirement. Then all ex BUT Presidents rehired as consultants, unqualified ex stewardess hired as head of National Insurance office in a family island. Just think you have already saved $3,275,000 on that old geriatric fool Baltron Bethel and that excludes his perks. Now repeat this time and time again and look how much money you will save in 5 years
