The Auditor General should have conducted an investigation into how many of Hanna-Martin's supporters who are registered voters in her constituency are employed by RTD and other government departments and agencies for which she has ministerial responsibility. This is one sleazy corrupt woman who learned her political trickery from her father. Were it not for A. D. Hanna's willingness to engage in nepotism to ply his daughter's way in politics, the Bahamian people would have been spared the costly consequences of Hanna-Martin's incompetence as a career politician. The only thing this potcake of a politician ever came equipped with is a loud mouth; she is well known to bark, yap and yelp ad nauseam whenever hit by a stone! Hanna-Martin and Leslie Miller have an awful lot in common in that regard. And they both have a serious deficit of grey matter upstairs!

Mr. Terrance Bastian is the most effective Auditor General our country has had in decades and he is accomplishing much on a shoe string budget with very little resources being made available to him. The Bahamian people would be wise to insist our government quadruple Mr. Bastian's resources so that he can continue ferreting out the gaping bleeding holes in our country's revenue generating ability caused by wide spread systemic waste, fraud and corruption.

To this day Ishmail Lightbourne is still deeply indebted (1) to his former accounting firm partners for the losses they incurred many years ago as a result of his many instances of outright theft from them and their clients, (2) to the banks for the loans and advances he received but has never repaid, and (3) to The Public Treasury (the Bahamian people) for all the taxes, penalties and fees he has failed to pay and still owes. This is a "man" not to be trusted under any circumstances, yet Christie still seems to have "a soft spot" of affectionate fondness for him. We can only wonder why!

This article is attributed to the infamous multi-million dollar swindler and tax dodger Ishmael Lightbourne and therefore must be read with a high degree of circumspection. As a Bible carrying self-professed "Christian", Mr. Lightbourne is well known for having ripped off his business partners and certain clients of the international accounting firm he worked for a decade or so ago. However, retribution quickly came his way when he was parted from his proceeds of crime by Nigerian scam artists. He then somehow managed to borrow funds from a Canadian bank that he could not repay, resulting in the bank foreclosing on his Cable Beach waterfront mansion. Perry Christie, notwithstanding having knowledge of Mr. Lightbourne's infamous background, foolishly appointed him to represent the Bahamas as an alternate director of the World Bank and later to be the government's main advocate and spokesman for the introduction and enforcement of VAT. The public subsequently learned that Mr. Lightbourne had been a tax dodger for decades and owed the Public Treasury hundreds of thousands of dollars in real property tax and other taxes and fees that he believed he could get away with not ever paying. There was a public uproar when Perry Christie admitted that he (as PM and Minister of Finance) had pleaded with the Canadian bank not to take Mr. Lightbourne's home away from him and that he (Christie) saw no wrong in having done so. With all of this in mind, it is a virtual certainty that Mr. Lightbourne has not written and made the above article public without the knowledge of Perry Christie. We are all left to wonder just what role Mr. Lightbourne is now playing for Perry Christie in the Baha Mar debacle for which he (Christie) is single handedly responsible for. Is Perry Christie using Mr. Lightbourne as an easily pliable tool to set some kind of agenda or public expectation for an olive branch to be extended by the government to Mr. Izmirlian? One thing is for sure....this article was not written by the infamous tax dodger out of the goodness of his heart for the benefit of the Bahamian people!

Geeezzz....you really are an idiot if you believe our government had any right to defy the wishes of the Bahamian people regarding the gaming web shops as was expressed in a duly convened national referendum.

Please, let's not bring Catholic priests into the fray caused by this most controversial subject. After all, they have plenty enough of their own problems caused by decades of pedophiliac activities kept covered up by the Vatican, which activities are sadly still going on today!

The "Green" in @Greentea is presumed to be very much lime green in colour.

Skinny from knee down, but big butt and fat thighs as we all saw during her costumed participation in the first Bahamas Carnival.

Amen!

But this is precisely one of the reasons why bill # 4 is being proposed by the government with the seriously flawed and deceitful wording that it has.
