I am absolutely flabbergasted that a Queen's Counsel would be attempting to extort a sitting government with evidence and information he claims to hold that he himself is professionally obliged to turnover to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. Munroe's conduct is most unbecoming of a senior member of the Bahamas Bar and seriously tarnishes in a very unsavory way the lustre of the QC designation for all Bahamian QCs.

U.S. foreign policy has for decades been aimed at weakening and impoverishing other less developed nations as a means of enabling connected powerful U.S. corporate interests to swoop in and buy up state-owned assets and natural resources at bargain basement prices. This is precisely what the U.S. is hoping will be the result of its predatory foreign policy aimed at keeping the economy of Venezuela severely repressed, even in the post-Chavez era. Powerful U.S. oil companies just can't wait to acquire Venezuela's very valuable oil reserves for a bargain basement price.

*Repost:* Unlike the U.S. we don't have the luxury of being able to print money to pay overseas creditors for goods and services imported by our country. This is why we cannot borrow our way out of the financial hole we are in and must instead go the austerity route. Minnis knows (and hopefully KP appreciates) that we must aggressively tackle a significant overall reduction in the very bloated costs of our government. Minnis will be greatly rewarded for doing so five years from now as things slowly begin to turn around for us.

KP needs to have his head examined if he thinks the government should no longer provide weekly garbage collection services to our private residential communities. Most people will simply elect not to pay a garbage bill. Can you imagine the horrible stench from the garbage build up that will immediately occur, not to mention the explosion in the rat population and risk of terrible diseases that will surely follow. Come on kp......think, think, think!!!!! We sell tourism as a country and therefore can ill afford to have many of our islands quickly become a smelly stink kind of Calcutta from hell because of all of the dumping of garbage everywhere and anywhere that will be done by residents in private neighbourhoods who either cannot afford or elect not to pay for garbage collection services. You're foolishly targeting the wrong places to try save a buck KP......surely you can do better than this?!!

If we find out at the end of the day that KP was unable to properly account for and control the costs of the forensic audits and related investigations, with the degree of transparency promised by Minnis, then we have every right to question his willingness and ability to exercise as Minister of Finance the control needed over our country's finances.

@FreeportFreddy: Your offer will have no financial consequence for you because you obviously know there are some among us who are incapable of being educated.

The immutable law of equilibrium will see to it that "the haves" eventually pay a dear price to "the have nots". This reality is now not too far off for the Bahamas. Think of it in meteorological terms: Pressure in a high pressure area always moves in to equalize the pressure in a low pressure area.
