Bahamian law enforcement personnel have lost ALL credibility.
Especially the sleeze at the top.
Too busy covering their own butts to be concerned with the People.

We can sure pick our "leaders", hey?

Maternity leave is essential to a humane and intelligent society.
What must be also supported, in the same stroke of the pen, is education for the young girls,most who are having children before they have learned, lived and matured.
While we can provide monetary assistance to mothers, what are the goals in producing decent adults?
Is there any discussion on reducing teen pregnancies?
How about the unlivable minimum wage?
How about child care?
How about incentives to get decent parents to stay in The Bahamas, instead of leaving for better opportunities elsewhere?
This isn't a one-off.
Is there not enough proof that we as a country are failing to produce decent citizens.
What is this article all about?
We keep nipping at the edges expecting things to change for the better.

Until The Bahamas is able to understand and speak the truth, nothing can change.
Our words are empty, with no relationship to reality.
This is from the very top, where words are only weapons in a court room, to the mother in the corner house.
We do not value the truth, even when it is staring us in the face.

BTC has failed The Bahamas.
No question about it.
They should be investigated for fraud.
They have screwed the Bahamian people for far too long.
They will be put out of business soon, but perhaps not soon enough

"The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in an August 8, 2005, working paper highlighting the gap between the region’s growth and productivity potential, and what exists today, argued that The Bahamas and its regional counterparts are being held back by over-regulation, “the presence of state-owned enterprises” and other inefficiencies that undermine their competitiveness."
Amazing that all of these blatant lies are printed in our national papers.
What is the problem with state-owned enterprises? That the profits benefit The People, instead of being stuffed into one man's pocket?
State-owned enterprises can be run by the same educated, qualified, and non-political managers, if given the chance. We prefer to put ignorant politicians in charge of our enterprises. We see this daily. What could an MP, with no real education or technical qualifications bring to a corporation such as Water & Sewerage, for instance?
And, we wonder why our country is literally circling the drain.
We just can't figure it out, can we?.
The IMF is a real blister on the butts of developing nations.
Especially those nations who have already borrowed too much and their politicians are greedy and corrupt, and want to stay in office.
The Bahamas will never be "better" by associating with the IMF.
That is why many countries, with intelligent and moral leaders are exiting their relationships with this debt-based organization.
They are not here to help The Bahamas. Let's be clear and be honest.
Once we begin to elect real leaders, if we can find them, things may improve.
Currently, with the gang of politicians we presently have in this country, nothing can improve.
Hell, we can't even know the name of the high offical actively screwing us over from their PLP offices.
Let's get real.

The IMF official who released this report is utterly delusional and uninformed.
The Bahamian workforce will never rise above a fraction of productivity that exists now.
The IMF is an organization meant to capture and enslave debtor countries that have ethically challenged leadership. The Bahamas fits this bill.
The US has many foreign workers that actually work.
If The Bahamas ever lets Mexicans into this country to work, Bahamians will starve.
Not because Mexicans will steal their jobs, but because Mexicans will actually work.
If this isn't apparent to you, get out of The Bahamas a bit more and look around.
We have one of the worst work ethics imaginable.
We all want jobs, but simply don't care to do any work.
Sad, but true.
One has to wonder if the person who wrote this report has ever been here.

Bingo Thisisours,"The one thing history tells us is you dont need the majority of people to be corrupt or criminal, you just need a bold few that noone wants to touch and they control the neighbourhood and the country."
Every day, every island. I don't think Bahamians can fix it.
Haven't yet, and show no inclination of doing so.
We don't care. We simply don't care.
The HOA is a basket of rotting bananas.
The unnamed high ranking official could be anyone.
Think about that for a minute.
Our entire political establishment is so disgusting, so corrupt, that we have to guess which one of these clowns sold us out.
We're all jokey, yes?

The truth of the matter is that The Bahamas is dead broke and these criminal international banks are continuing to make loans to this government, knowing how deeply in debt we are.
This is about politics and power.
These banks know the character of our politicians and do not mind that they are selling their own country down the road.
There is not a shred of honesty or decency in this administration.
Because the Bahamian people have placed so little emphasis on education, we have a populace unable to even read the paper, let alone understand the dangerous situation this country is in.
From all observations, it seems rather apparent that we just don't care.
This administration is dragging this country down, and we don't even seem to be interested.
Hell, we may even vote the jokey leaders right back in.
Sadly, this is the best we could do after 52 years?

Hard to argue with this comment.
