Your call for transparency and justice is well founded Dr. Minnis.
However, the crisis of trust in Bahamian culture is at the root of the problem.
We all know the police force is corrupt to the bone, just like our political parties.
The PLP is terrible. No Campaign Finance reform, no Freedom of Information Act, no real investigations at all.
One big reason is that, far too many in this country have their hand in the cookie jar.
If not, why so long for these basic democratic changes to come about?
You are correct Dr. Minnis, the PLP administration is the absolute worst.
However, they have not been the only ones in power for the last few decades.
We have a culture of hatred, dishonesty, vindictiveness and poisonous politics. This Davis administration is as low as it gets.
Why, Dr. Minnis, after all these decades, have we not seen any progress in this country?
Only the PLP to blame?
Sorry, a thinking person can see beyond the noise and nonsense you pathetic politicians continue to serve the Bahamian people.

Trust disappeared long time now.
Dishonesty in our institutions, all institutions, is the word of the day.
A fitting epitaph.

Mr. Mitchel, despite his education, or because of it, still can't understand how he is a part of the problem as our country descends into a free fall.
Most of them don't, do they?

Porcupine says...

Every time these politicians speak, it shows the rest of the world who we really are.
We, simply don't seem to get it.

Porcupine says...

Here on Andros it is no better.
When will we stop listening to these politicians who say things will get better, as we all watch it getting worse.
Is there a government official who doesn't lie and isn't utterly useless?
Name them.
Start at the top.

A most intelligent and well-worded essay, Mr. Miller.
Thank you for these words of truth.
The entire global financial edifice seems poised to collapse under the weight of incalculable greed. As usual, the world's poorest will pay the most.
The world's economy is driven by war. The elites don't care who wins or loses, so long as the fighting continues.
We seem to be living in times where evil has taken control.

Because we vote for popularity and what we can get when "our" candidate gets in, we will continue to vote for people who don't have a brain.
How long before the PLP completely destroys the Bahamian economy?
They are well on their way.
Too many compromised MPs.
They are taking too much for themselves.

Porcupine says...

This is the result of politics and Bahamianization. Some call it nepotism.
Continue to put uneducated, incompetent, greedy people into positions of power in government and ministries and you get what we have now. BPl, like all government SOEs, has and will continue to fail. We opt to hire Bahamians who cannot do the job instead of someone, anyone who can do the job.
The Ministers presently in charge of all these utilities have no education, experience or ethics required to manage. They were simply appointed because of who they knew in government.
We have celebrated ignorance for far too long. The educated will continue to flee this country that is currently being run by a gang of immoral, under-educated thugs.
