Bahamians are too laid back and unwilling to demonstrate. All governments everywhere only respond to public pressure. If the people demonstrated more, the government would be held more accountable, and the nonsense the politicians are used to getting away with would cease immediately.
What the Bahamas also desperately needs is a whistle-blower protection system. Politicians would be extra careful to avoid corruption if they knew civil servants had an avenue to expose their back door deals and usual corrupt modus operandii.
Corruption can only exist when good people remain silent!
Absolutely true. Fidelity only offers a "credit card" if it is 110% backed by a fixed deposit. How the hell is that a credit card?
A person would have to be a total idiot to deal with the commercial banks after what they did to so many people during Covid.
Look out Exuma, the commercial pirate banks see the economic boom looming for the family Islands and will rape, and pillage them like never seen before!
People have learned the hard way that banks are the biggest "legal" thieves in the country!!
PM pledges to strengthen immigration process...**AGAIN**!
Really?...Lol
Davis is better than the typical sweet mouth politician. This guy is a master of deception and straight-out bullshyt.
It is 2023, we have **always** had a systemically corrupt immigration system from top to bottom regardless of the PLP or FNM being in power.
All we get is lip service from our self-serving, so-called "leaders" and more of the same continues unabated. If there was even minimum transparency in government I'll bet Bahamians would be totally mortified at what is happening with the Department of Immigration and the humongous negative impact on the lives and well-being of our people and country.
The Immigration problem is not "one step forward, and two steps backward. It is all steps backward, twists, turn, dodge, crisscross, slide to left, cha-cha, and carry on with the treasonous policies of predecessors to the detriment of the nation.
The county is inundated with foreigners doing jobs unemployed, and suffering, Bahamians can do.
look around. There is, and never was any "public's trust" in Immigration!
The lack of efficiency and waste in the government is absolutely mind-boggling!
I know an individual who worked for the government that went to clock in at work every day and went back home for years. This person was paid every month but hadn't hit a lick for decades and is now collecting retirement benefits!
Corruption is rampant, people caught "stealing" face no accountability.
Our leaders should be held 100% responsible for how the people's taxes are mismanaged just like any company management.
These Sunshine clowns failed to mention that Bahamians were systematically equally locked out of investing in the Bahamas by both governments for decades!
Only now because the government is in deep, deep, do-do with the high volume of new foreign investors coming into the country in need of accommodation infrastructure is the government now asking Bahamians to invest.
Had Bahamians been allowed to invest in the tourism sector over the past 50 years, the country would have been in a much better position to provide the accommodations required to support the many new foreign investors headed this way.
*"It also appears that the expatriate has more rights in The Bahamas than Bahamians".*...**Nothing new here.** PLP and FNM couldn't give a damn about Bahamians! All they care about is Haitians!
*The Davis administration has taken a tough posture on work permits, with Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis saying in June that the government would crack down on granting them.*
Davis is typical of our politicians making grandstand press statements to appease anyone stupid enough to believe them, then secretly doing the exact opposite of what was said behind the people's backs.
