I suspect they fired the person responsible for the maintenance of the document shredder for actually doing his job. After all, it's his fault: if that thing had been broken, no documents could have been shredded.
The law has no teeth, and if politicians want to protect themselves and their buddies, nothing will change. These politicians will not amend the law. The likelihood of this happening if the colour of the party in power changes, is minimal. They had their chance, and blew it. (And yes, that goes for former FNM-member Branville McC. and former PLP-member Greg M., too.)
The challenge should be, let no Bahamian voter mark their X next year for a candidate, government or opposition, who has ever, during their political career, been in violation of the disclosure requirements. Regardless of their newest set of promises.
