The reason we are in the precarious position we are in, is because we have not had educated, moral leaders in power.
We have had opportunistic and ignorant politicians who only look out for themselves. Period.
We have failed to encourage our people to do better. We have made our people dependent upon simple-minded politicians, for our jobs, for contracts, for our very existence.
We are now suffering the consequences of 50 years of failed leadership.
As we do today with this present administration. How can one read the papers and not see this? We have been celebrating ignorance for 2 or 3 generations now. Is it not clear by the results.
What works in this country? What works? This isn't from lack of finances. These piss poor results that we see today in this country is from a horrible lack of leadership. As it Myles Munroe didn't speak to this issue over and over.
But, we went along with these silver tongued devils and voted them into office.
And now, here we are.

What Mr. Rolle and others will tell us is that there are simple fixes to this increasing problem.
There aren't. We are trapped in a system of Capitalism where it is a dog eat dog world.
Where was Mr. Rolle in warning that taking on more and more debt in this country will increase our inflation, and threaten the country with what are called Structural Adjustment Programs. Presently,, we are seeing an outflow from this country of 500-600 million dollars a year, only to pay the interest on the loans that our self-centered politicians have taken out in our name, leaving our children to deal with the inevitable chickens coming home to roost. What could that money have been used for to improve the quality of life for Bahamians?
Mr. Rolle must be aware that The Bahamas suffers from very low productivity. This is attested to by any international agency looking at the data, and by anyone who sees that we have a population of lazy people, far too many of which work for this government. This is an uncomfortable fact. Anyone who has worked abroad knows that most Bahamians couldn't cut it with their slack work ethic anywhere else. So, why would Mr. Rolle say that about wages? Well, he is right about not being able to make it on the low wages presently being paid in The Bahamas. However, he must know that many people do not deserve more money because they fail to produce. Look at customer service in this country. In any government office, or Wendy's, or anywhere. Piss poor service. So, do we pay more wages and wait for people's service attitude to catch up? Or, do we encourage people to do a reasonable and acceptable job, which would then justify a higher wage?

The PM and this administration are clueless.
They can only think about politics and what they can get for themselves.
The longer the Bahamian people listen to the utter bullshit coming from the OPM and this administration, the more pain will be felt by the Bahamian people.
Did an economist do a projection? Of course not. And, if they did, be assured it is by an "economist" who is only politically loyal to their paycheck and the criminal ideology now in place.
It almost seems too late to educate the Bahamian people of the crap we get as politicians, so-called leaders. We have no leaders..

Uggg. When there is no vision, the people perish.
It seems we have no adults in the room.
Just money grubbing politicians and their cronies.
Sad that a nation with such promise.......................

"There is little doubt that the financial secretary will once again cause major problems for his supposed boss and for the government.”
Dr. Minnis, this is exactly the message the PM wants to portray to our people.
You are missing the bigger picture.

So the ones who drove BEC / BPL into the ground will be the first to be rehired by this new venture.
And, when again. will the power outages end and consumer bills come down?
What percentage of the population will still be alive?

Not in our lifetimes most likely.

Yup. you are right.

The more this man speaks the more falsehoods are uncovered.

Precise.ly why we need a Freedom of Information Act
