**The biggest secret** is the new Ministry of Finance Internal Revenue enhanced collections system is at a standstill for many businesses because RBC is unable to synchronize with Inland Revenues collections system.
This translates to many businesses being unable to receive their business licenses for months regardless that they have no outstanding debt to Internal Revenue and spend weeks back and forth to Inland Revenue trying to "push" for resolutions.....**without success.**
Many business importers cannot access their cargo sitting in limbo at Customs Gladstone road facility **for months** because Internal Revenue systems is unable to find their payments which prohibits the issuance of business licenses which prevents importers collecting their cargo due to not having their business license.
Regardless of importers having all receipts of payments to Internal Revenue, importers are still unable to collect their cargo without having a business license.
To add insult to injury, Internal Revenue refuses to provide letters of authorization which would allow importers to present to Customs to access their cargo **AND** Customs still demands importers pay late fees for storage of the cargo regardless that the importer is not at fault for the delays!
Government growing pains are to be expected, however, someone in government should have enough damn sense to facilitate importers in this situation. Why should importers be penalized for the governments screw ups?
What a tragedy! Every year we hear MP's saying more ambulances and fire trucks are needed on the family Islands, yet nothing is done by either administration.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Time to get off the PLP and FNM merry-go-round!
Prime Minister Philip Davis is all giggles and grins about the upcoming African Export-Import Bank annual general meeting (AGM) that will be held in The Bahamas this June and the prospect of tapping into the $700m investment earmarked for the Caribbean region.
PM Davis also better be aware that climate resilience, financial inclusivity and the digital transformation of our economies (horrible idea) is just the tip of the iceberg.
African states, especially West African countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Gabon, Senegal, as well as Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, and others are actively dismantling the remnants and exploitation of Western colonizers.
Burkina Faso went from the poorest country in Africa to fastest growing GDP in the world in less than 6 Months after booting out former thieving colonizer France, and taking control of their own natural resources!
Niger has also followed suit by getting rid of France AND the United States, and is expected to join Burkina Faso quick rise from poverty to prosperity in a few short months after over one hundreds of years of poverty inflicted by thieving French colonizers exploitation.
Is PM Davis man enough to take back control of our natural resources for the benefit of the Bahamian people?

Firstly Cable Bahamas is way too expensive **AND** the programming **SUCKS**!
Secondly, streaming now makes up more than one-third of all television consumption in the U.S. so similar decline here shouldn’t be a surprise.

**Asinine stupidity reigns supreme in the Bahamas** Just last week a poor Bahamian caught with 31 grams of harmless pot was jailed for years.
Foreigners continue getting away serious crimes while Bahamians are harshly charged.
Colonizer mentality to severely punish blacks and slap the wrist of whites is deeply entrenched in our politicians psyche!
