They will appeal. They will not win. They will lose cold. The law is quite clear. Parliamentary privilege does not trump rights guaranteed in the Constitution. There are numerous cases in point in Great Britain.
These regulations are a cash cow for the "connected" in government service. You cannot operate without a license and without some form of periodic certification. That means you cannot operate absent regular, extra legal payments to those in power. Good plan, but not designed to protect the public. Designed to line the pockets of the corrupt.
Fire Moody's. All critics, Black or White are racists. Nothing to see here, move on. A little soft corruption is just part of our national character. Don't like the news, kill the messenger. I will table a full report in Parliament soon.
Beyond silly musings from someone who has not a clue about business. What the Bahamas needs do is to recognize that far her biggest asset is her geographic location next door to one of the largest single markets in the world. If the Bahamas were to stop the silly preoccupation with viewing every foreigner with a job as "taking a job" from a Bahamian, there would be thousands of good jobs for Bahamians created by the advantages to many large U.S. engaged enterprises in moving some activities off shore while remaining geographically nearby.. Instead, the old Bay Street Boy mentality prevails, and the Bahamians are relegated to tray carrying resort work. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
