Correction: You were voted out before you could do anything. Politicians blame everything and the fact that their number didn't fall as to why they couldn't get something accomplished. Such a tired response. This is not the U.S. where the Senate doesn't rubber stamp what the House passes. Get the permanent secretary to draft the legislation which is who does all the work in respective ministries anyway, throw on a fresh suit paid for courtesy of VAT, pontificate in the HOA for a few days, vote and badda bing badda boom! No excuse! #OutOutStayOut

There are so many things wrong with this photo. One, this is not Her Excellency at her best in terms of dress. The hat is one of those bows that belongs at the back waist of a dress in an avant garde fashion show. And yes, I too am asking, why is Minnis receiving a National Heroes Award? Was the intent of transitioning from Queen's honors to this circus is to hand out awards like candy at a carnival? Let's make 40% a passing grade so all of our children can get into Yale!

Yeah. This is one I will have to see to believe. As long as there is competition among different companies and individual owners, they will continue to operate the way they do now.

Severance? Five minutes ago they had what? Did the administration anticipate all of this when they made this investment? Hotel employees don't want to work they want to live high off the hog on their couches. This is disgraceful and only amplifies the huge faux pas made by Minnis. Cried for jobs. The government made a naive move to address that and their response is to exploit the situation. Wonders never cease!

I am not seeing the correlation between the two. Taxing the hell out of the gaming industry because the people voted against it? Is this an admission that it is the intent of the Minnis administration to drive them out of business? It would be nice to stay on topic and address the two issues separately so we can enjoy clarity. What failed programs did the PLP administration squander taxpayer funds on? In what amounts? Was there any ROI from said programs? How has this administration stopped the hemorrhaging since it assumed power? Details DPM. Details. The devil lies in the details. Ministers love to stand in the HOA and make outlandish claims without any substantiation. I am not suggesting that what he is declaring is a lie or even misleading. I would just like us all to be clear on the facts and with what was presented these statements are light on facts and clarity.

You see a stranded whale and the first thing that occurs to you is, how can I make money from this? What if your child were stranded somewhere?

Yeah, living in a gated community with a house that already has an alarm required cameras and you throw around the word dishonorable? It's these excesses that have us in the state we are now as a nation. Enough is never enough. This is not about Bannister versus Osbourne. Where errors occurred they should be corrected on both sides. Stop being biased

How many people got security systems or had them upgraded? How many board members?

Eager Beaver Davis needs to tone it down and allow for due process. Interesting that an attorney would be so ready to condemn anyone involved in this mess without a proper investigation. I get that he has an agenda and is responding from a completely partisan perspective but his base profession should guide him otherwise particularly in this regard. The board voted for the board to enjoy a benefit that has what to do with their roles? Why only the chairperson who brought it to the table wound up being the one person to take advantage of it? Remember NIB? Her husband was dismissed for the same foolishness. Giving himself a bonus along with the others who were wiped out. Let it play out and then draw conclusions.

Best news all day. The ministry should confiscate the vessels and equipment, double the fines and jail these thieves. Fox Hill wold be an awesome experience or should i write deterrent to them returning. They can return home and write a best-seller.
