And Daylight Savings Time hasn't even begun yet!

Got the alert. He's just being cynical.

@JohnDoe a/k/a @John - I see you're still singing to a big time numbers' boss for your supper?

everyone please be quiet! Now cup your ears with your hands and listen very carefully. Can you hear that constant swooshing sound in the background? That's the sound of mega millions and millions of U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars leaving our country every year for Haiti, South Florida and Montreal, Canada. This enormous yearly outflow of monies from our country is attributable to Haitians illegal residing in the Bahamas who purchase hard currencies with their Bahamian dollars to send abroad to their family members living in Haiti, South Florida and Canada. And to think our PM and Minister of Immigration appear supportive of this enormous ongoing drain of financial resources from our economy! Small wonder our Minister of Finance (K P Turnquest) has his hands full with the the grave repercussions of the slowing velocity of money in our economy. Small wonder too that our Central Bank is unable to maintain foreign currency reserves at the recommended minimum level equal to the expected value of imported goods & services for the next three months. What a joke!!!

Each application submitted to the Minister of Immigration and/or Cabinet for approval should at least be accompanied by a duly completed checklist (signed by an appropriate senior official at the Department of Immigration official) that identifies both the basis on which the citizenship, residency or work permit certificate is to be granted and the documentation on file that was received and verified (as to authenticity/validity) in support of the application.

Exactly!

This happened years ago. I remember when he was arrested for possession of marijuana there were questions circulating about whether he also had an illegal firearm. You're right though.....word came down from above and Leslie never got formally charged.... the police had to let him walk away as a free criminal. Anyone else would have served some serious hard time in prison.

But he reckons he would be much better positioned to enrich both himself and his lodge friends and cronies if he remains in active politics. Trust me, there's nothing altruistic about Sands and Gomez as medical doctors, nor Minnis for that matter.

That's precisely the point!

Minnis is anything but an astute politician. He has yet to understand and appreciate the significance of the fact that the overwhelming majority of votes received by the FNM in the last general election were from voters who could not stomach the PLP anymore rather than from voters who are fervent supporters of Minnis and the FNM. By turning his back to the Bahamian people and kowtowing to the interests of Haitians illegally residing in our country, Minnis is committing political suicide not only for himself, but also the FNM party. There is already a fast growing large secretive block of FNM voters in the Killarney constituency, now numbering in excess of 1,300 registered voters, who say they will vote for anyone but Minnis the next time around, even if it means casting their vote for a PLP candidate. Minnis is going to learn the hard political lesson that the Bahamian people do not tolerate betrayal and its something they will never forget.
