So what do we know? Gray called, that is an undisputed fact, and the Administrator felt threatened and as a result released an accused felon from lock up. Those too are undisputed facts.
Our stalwart A.G. decides she has insufficient grounds prosecute.
OK. Any consequences? Any public inquiry?
Christie government's answer: "Nothing to see here. Move on."
And exactly what makes you think the PLP majority in Parliament will ever agree to the tabling of the report? That is what this is a all about. Another scandal swept under the rug in hopes it will be forgotten.
Right now BEC is forcing people on N.P. island (with the notable exception of our P.M.) who have installed at their own expense serious solar generation capacity to shut their solar down, under threat of a cutoff of all BEC service during nighttime. This policy because BEC cannot survive without the few paying customers it has, among whom are those who can afford significant solar arrays. Good luck on your suggestion that BEC will support a move to solar on N.P. Island.
The stockpile of sand that Mr. Nygard has dredged purportedly to keep his very short(maximum 25 meter) dock access open would nearly fill the Panama Canal. It is laughable to call this maintenance dredging, and anyone who has bothered to spend five seconds on site knows it.
Shocked that the A.G. did not find some pretense to leave the country so the Minister with Portfolio for Taxi Licensing could not Nolle Prosse the case.
Once again Dr. Rollins is spot on. The Westminster system has served the Bahamas very poorly. The system encourages a sclerotic adherence to hierarchy, and the inevitable promotion of unqualified, generally corrupt, old guarders, to the exclusion of bright, dedicated, public spirited representatives.
The "leader" of the party is chosen by an unelected cadre of dole recipients, bought and paid for by this self serving group of professional insiders. The "elections" have zero to do with how real power is parceled out in our country. How does that serve the effort to find truly gifted leadership?
This comment is just stupid, stupid, stupid. Dr. Rollins is speaking up for rational, good governance, and central to his courageous effort is that the ridiculous "loyalty to party" at all cost system we have cultivated, is destroying our country. He is a voice in the wilderness, speaking for truth and justice, and the sooner the fat cat, corrupt, big wigs in the PLP and the FNM start listening to voices like his, the sooner we can start to truly address the country's manifold problems.
