No Witchhunt required because we already know who and where Allison Maynard is.

**P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder supporters never once found it necessary to "pounced" on their **super-jackass extraordinaire** former leader Perry Gladstone Christie who led them to all crash and burn in the worst political defeat imaginable, but they think this appointment is collusion?

Ranard Henfield is a principled individual with the best interest of the country and people at heart, that should bring a measure of balance to a Senate that nothing more than a rubber stamp for past administrations.

When was the last time anyone heard of a deadlock in the Senate prohibiting passage of bills? Anyone remember a senator rejecting **anything** and bringing something to the people for consensus?

Ranard Henfield has a strong base of followers, perhaps even eclipsing that of **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder!

That alone is justifiable cause enough for Ranard Henfield's appointment to the Senate.

The one person missing to date, and badly needed in the Senate in Dr. Andrea Rollins! He is a **fearless giant!**

Dr. Rollins is totally unafraid to "go it alone" to oppose or condone anyone or anything he deems to be in the best interest of the people and country. This is the type of individual that has been sorely missing in the Senate for decades.

Thanks, and congratulations to Ranard Henfield. .....**now bring dr. andrea rollins!**

Essentially, the audits will be self-funding in the medium term as loopholes are plugged.

The cost of required audits is irrelevant compared to the potential huge sums that will be confiscated and returned to state coffers and savings that will be immediately realized once corruptIon and decades of money hemorrhaging from every department stop.

amazingly, After 4 decades of massive corruption, this is the "first audit" ordered by a Prime Minister!

Jesus warned us about and identified these no good, greedy clergymen in Matthew:7-15

15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Where was this "voice of the church" for the last 40 years as corrupt politicians pillaged our country, decimated the people and gave them the middle finger?

Is he referring to the same "voice of God” that invokes the poor, vulnerable and sick to donate more than they can afford in return for "prayers"?

The Christian Council is equally guilty as the PLP and FNM of 40 years misleading our people to stay in favor with corrupt politicians.

Nobody will ever forget Pastor Jeremiah Duncomb, Laish Z. Boyd Sr. and many more so called clergy prostituting themselves leading into the election to keep favor with Perry Christie despite all his blatant nonsense and stupidity.

Where was Jeremiah Duncomb, Laish Z. Boyd, this Dr. Ranford Patterson clown all the rest of thses slick taking clergyman when Bahamians were being thrown to the ground and stomped on the bridge, unlawfully kicked from jobs and left to die of cancer when Jerome Fitzpirate was found wanting.

Not one clergyman could bestow the **voice of GOD** in calling out corruption for 40 years!

No apologies Dr. Ranford Patterson. The clergy is 50% of the problem with our country as they stood by absolutely mute as lambs while rubbing shoulders with corrupt politicians who pillaged, looted and plundered or country and people.

"Bahamian partners" are keywords! Many countries require foreign investors to partner with locals.

The Bahamas would benefit most if Bahamians were intrinsically involved at some level with all foreign investors, which would translate to more local entrepreneurs being created and more money reinvested in the local economy instead of having all profits repatriated by foreigners as locals diversify or buy additional shares in foreign-owned investments.

Many developing countries used this strategy to help "build wealth and national ownership" from with-in.

China also quickly mushroomed to become the world's manufacturer by pushing joint partnership initiatives in as many areas possible.

@thomas moore rickards iv...You are obviously either feigning total ignorance as was then PM Hubert Ingraham in 2011 of dozens of successful, high-end resort destinations coexisting with multiple major casino operations and literally 1000's of rooms, or purposely being mischevious for some underhanded, stupid, political agenda.

http://www.casinocity.com/casinos/

Certainly, not many computer literate people are ill-informed enough to make such nonsensical statements!

Firstly, even a totally brain dead individual would have sense enough to understand a resort developer would carry out exhaustive, extensive market research before committing to a $3B development.

The Bahamas is way behind where it should be in resort developments. The single biggest impediment to resort development in the Bahamas is decades of corrupt politicians demanding a piece of the action as did Jerome Fitzpirate with Sarkis.

This phenomenon explains how and why the Bahamas fell from the #1 Caribbean resort destination position regionally, to not ranking at all in the top 10 as serious developers, like Sarkis, refused to "roll over" to demands of corrupt politicians and simply took their investments elsewhere.

Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis mandate to tackle corruption and subsequent immediate photo op with Sarkis was intentially and strategically calculated to send an exceptionally strong signal to investors that the Bahamas is now a business friendly country and safe to invest in.

40 years of massive political corruption stagnated growth, leading to the country being grossly underdeveloped, just because a handful of small-minded individuals greed far exceeded their care for country and people.

For the first time in my entire lifetime, I truly **"feel"** that we are finally on the right track and tremendous opportunities are with-in reach for future generations of our people.

This is the second such incident in as many weeks beginning with simple traffic stops, ending in high-speed chases, thugs shooting at police and being taken down by law enforcement.

If this is not evidence enough of the importance of road block traffic checks, then I can only conclude the powers that be are either totally incompetent, dumber than Picewell Forbs and Alfred Gray combined or simply not really interested in controlling crime!

Good work RBPF! I hope you guys soon receive the more than well-deserved raises, backpay and promotions!!
