Minnis really has some meaningless, shallow rebuttals to criticism.. he needs to be more convincing. what reasonable person would think that Minnis, who is not a Grand Bahamian and does not live there, is more concermed about the place than a man from there and who is living there. it defies logic.. When you are PM you need to give solid, evidence based arguments in my view when justifying gov't decisions and policies.

all of this could have been avoided if we had a functioning government... didn't pay property tax, no problem. gov't should have seized building and sold it to get their money. The Bahamas must be one of the slackest countries when it comes to collecting taxes. no wonder we are $7 billion + in debt and it keeps rising. makes me wonder why i pay mine..

so all over the Bahamas boats are licensed that may, or may not, meet any kind of standard. how does that happen? how can a boat be built and licensed for use if there exists no regulations regarding construction of boats in the first place? how is a boat that meets no standard insured or was it insured? if not insured, how does one get a tour business licence to use a boat built to no known standard? its all rubbish. Andros BAMSI all over again. sounds very similar to the local aviation scene too. what a mess we are in in this country...

poor Ace.. yet again, plenty talking but saying nothing. he couldn't say a single word that defends Archer's appointment, couldn't list his relevant training or experience,.... nothing. don't need to have a high IQ to figure out what happened...

an example of what we got for those high salaries Miller used to talk about. if BPL was tracking fuel consumption, this should have been picked up..

No employee on any job should be subject to threats, intimidation or disrespectful behaviour. the matter should be investigated internally and addressed as required.
As for Union threats to harm the national economy, the Minister of National Security has an obligation to investigate Maynard and his associates especially to see if they have any involvement in damaging events recently. they always amend labour laws for less hours and more pay. well if not already, a law must be put on the books to hold union leaders legally responsible for threats or actions intended to harm the economy. too much loose talk in this country.

hundreds of millions needed for BEC and Bahamasair who cant pay their bills without help, millions and millions for hotels on GB, WTO accession whatever that will bring, and the list goes on. i say, lets wait and see..

another victim of pie-in-the-sky ideas... i guess he didnt understand the part of his contract that said he is only expected to be a seat-warmer

No brain people. firstly, the cables should all be on those posts on the side of the road. the water pipes should be either on the roadside or condition verified before paving. Finally, given the unbearable impact this will have on road users, one has to ask the obvious question, why cant this be done at night, say 10:00pm to 6:00am and on weekends? police, hospital, airport and hotel workers work those hours.. just typical, lazy, brain-dead, we dont give a s**it attitude..

Saudi Arabia is an extreme example of barbaric justice but one thing for sure, it works.. crime virtually non-existent.. so, what price to pay for safety and peace of mind?
