Friends, family, and lovers were well taken cared of at the expense of the public Treasury. The "witch hunt" has revealed innumerable nefarious googlish dealing and this just the tip of iceberg.

WATER & Sewerage Corporation is inundated with management-level employees allegedly profiting from inside deals that external vendors should be participating in.

While **PLP** observers are starting to urge the Government to focus on solutions, rather than keep dredging up the past, Mr. Turnquest yesterday argued it was important to explain why the Minnis administration was facing such a strained fiscal position.
I totally agree with Mr. Turnquest.
Please continue to report to the people where our hard earned tax dollars disappeared to. We have a right to know why and who destroyed our country!
This ammaka russel individuals inability to correlate the feelings of Bahamians regarding the escalating Haitian invasion distinguishes her as a non-Bahamian!
The really "hateful" part of this situation is only a person of Haitian descent can possibly be comfortable seeing Haitians working literally everywhere around us while Bahamians have been reduced to unemployed beggars, standing on soup kitchen lines for food, and criminality for survival.
Haitians are unquestionably parasitic leeches as they were not invited or welcomed to come here, brought nothing with them when they came, and are an unsustainable drain on our education, health, social and employment systems.
Indeed a civil war between Bahamians and Haitians as MANY are suggesting on Facebook is more than likely inevitable because Haitians **will not** go back to Haiti and **will not** stop illegally migrating to the Bahamas otherwise.
This is also the exact reasons the Dominican Republic was pushed to use excessive force on Haitians and continue doing so today!
Every government-run entity in the Bahamas is crippled by corruption from the top down its foundations, which explains why no one is ever jailed for theft because too many are guilty.
If PM Minnis starts playing old-hat PLP and FNM games and fails to publically table results of audits and send those found guilty of corruption to prison, I can assure him that we the people will guarantee he can kiss 2022 goodbye!
@ Aegeaon...Your statement "Haitians to me aren't even a threat" may be well and good for YOU, however, Haitians and others have displaced the most vulnerable blue-collar Bahamian in the workforce to an alarming unacceptable level!
Agreed, diplomatic meetings are meant to strengthen countries. However, please expound how treaties with Haiti remotely "strengthen" the Bahamas.
The Government "has not yet made the case" for joining the WTO, because there is "no case to make" that supports joining WTO!
The government cannot advise the private sector on "what we can expect", and what it was seeking to negotiate on the country's behalf because WTO does not have a provision for developing countries to negotiate anything!
The Bahamas does not and will not have any special privileges beyond other countries and CANNOT negotiate any special concessions not enjoyed by other countries. It is what it is.
Case in point...."Mr. Pickstock said the Government had yet to show why the benefits of joining will outweigh the disadvantages"....Government can't produce what does not exist!
While arguing that this nation cannot afford to adopt an isolationist stance, the Bahamas is the only Western Hemisphere nation yet to join the WTO and yet we are still surviving quite well without WTO so why do we need them now?
The farce argument that WTO could unlock Freeport's potential as a manufacturing/logistics/assembly hub through providing protection to exports originating from the Bahamas, guaranteeing them market access through preventing other nations from imposing trade barriers is the **biggest crock of bullshyt since Ingraham and Christie.** This is something we could implement ourselves through Parliament.
Exactly what new imaginative opportunities would be provided for Bahamian companies to expand what new imaginative export services abroad, along with what new imaginative intellectual property? WTO cannot refer to one developing country where any of this mumbo-jumbo, pie in the sky sweet sounding imaginative "benefits" has actually happened. Yet they expect the Bahamas to roll over and sign onto this new imaginative sweet deal.
Yes, it could have been done 16 years ago. However, notwithstanding the depth of stupidity of Ingraham and Christie, even they couldn't see any positive reasoning for signing onto WTO. Yes, we squandered the opportunity to put in place reforms that would get us ready for accession to the WTO because even the dumbest of the dumb and most corrupt of the corrupt saw nothing in it for friends, family, and lovers and no positive reasons for WTO accession!
Winder and Symonnet need to stop talking steaming horse manure and face the fact that no developing country has gained anything but 100% negatives for joining WTO!

Pindling, Ingraham, Christie an the majority of their Cabinets were very well educated individuals and look at the state of our people and country!
Two fitting quotes come to mind when thinking about these failures:
*Carl Rogers* - The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
*Larry Niven* - The gods do not protect fools. Fools are protected by more capable fools.
