People need to get fired for letting shanty towns build up unchecked and for so long. The one in abaco is 250 acres now? How the F#$% does this happen? Please post any details of when any of you may have officially reported any illegal houses being constructed so that we can take these ministries and leaders to court for not doing their jobs. Leaving these shanty towns unchecked is criminal because whoever is in charge of oversight for the Bahamian public is facilitating in the known theft of electricity, the known contamination of our water table and land and the building of homes without necessary approvals in place. If these people get injured in the collapse of their poorly constructed homes they have every right to sue the government because the ministry knew about the construction and did nothing to inspect the building. Imagine building a high-rise in Miami. If no-one comes out to stop or inspect you then whoever is in charge of inspection and policing will be going to jail. You simply can't watch a building go up and not be held responsible.
Don't worry John. We know exactly who you're talking about and so does Tal. It will all come out in the wash but as you say name and shame don't work around here so the supporters of THE most corrupt party will still be staunch, rowdy and blissfully ignorant.
Agreed. The FNM messed up big time on this. They were crazy to even consider putting money into a run down hotel. Maybe $10 million but no more than that.
