What a joke. Our "democracy" is controlled by a corrupt elite.

This man legalized gambling, benefitting a few mobsters even though the people voted no. Sensible countries lotteries are owned by the Government and funds go towards building the country and helping the people. No one should profit off of poor people's desperation and addictions.

We need a Freedom of Information Act, not a politician choosing what to tell us.

Say what you mean with complete information. Assume we know nothing, even if it may be obvious to you.

Nothing new

"300,000 degree turn" What does that even mean? These politicians really don't care. Just tell us peasants spectacular and entertaining things to get voted in. Not saying anything of substance. It's disgusting.

Succession planning is a process for identifying and developing new leaders who can replace old leaders when they leave, retire or die.

People are so concerned about keeping their jobs that they fail to identify talent and train them to eventually take over their position.

How do we do that? One way would be to partner with successful organizations and create internships/apprenticeships.

Hire who is most qualified. Being a Bahamian should be a minor weighted factor in the decision. We have many examples in the Bahamas of persons being hired not because of their ability to do the the job. We end up with a bunch of nonfunctioning organizations of people collecting paychecks, complaining and doing no work.

The goal should be to develop Bahamians to be qualified person not to force underqualified Bahamians into positions just because they're Bahamian.

Remember this when you hear the excuse that there is no money. When the peasants are losing their jobs and wages are being cut. Check in to see if the Government officials will take a proportional pay cut as well. If you want to see change make a direct connection between performance and compensation. For example, the Minister of Education's compensation should be substantially connected to the nation's GPA. Set the base wage to minimum wage, after all, they believe it's a livable wage. Then define a bonus scale based on performance milestones.

Other appropriate performance metrics:
Minister of National Security - reduction in gun violence, murders, robberies
Minister of Health - mortality rates, wait times, obesity
Minister of Works - Service reliability (reduction in # of power and water outages), service quality
Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs - Case processing rates

Yeah, we don't vote based on the party platform, the leaders' competency and values. It's not like we could hold them accountable for anything. Or have access to the information to do so.
