The employees there ought to know full well that they don't work for the Prime Minister. They work for the GG and their letter should be addressed to the Permanent Secretary of their Ministry.
In addition, if the lady says don't come up to her office until after 9am - that means don't come up until after 9am, it doesn't mean "...not being able to go up until she summoned us." Also you don't "work around" people. You do your job, and let the Permanent Secretary and his assistants monitor the work of the department or unit. If he sees things not getting done, he/she will talk to your boss. Follow orders, work to rule, do your job, smile, send out resumes.
Your point is very valid. I ought to reduce my use of racism in my posts, you are correct. What I have always meant by such remarks is the "we are our own worst enemy" element. It is just so hard to understand how a people who descended from a era when rights and freedoms were selectively doled out based on race and I would imagine other factors, would not be hell bent on ensuring that everyone today were allowed to have the same rights and freedoms as everyone else, and that some select few who choose to be different in some way - supposedly because of some difference in their belief system - (lest it cause harm to others) be left alone to practice their faith or whatever it is (non-religious even) and give respect. The idea of using force of law (and even upholding the "law" to a high standard of a moral compass, knowing full well that historically the law has been flawed and has been unjust and denied many those things which were rightfully theirs) is just so silly I cannot understand it. Was there a certain DATE month day year that the law suddenly became infallible? What was that date? If such a date occurred and if the law is presently infallible and perfectly correct - why then do we criticize MPs and other law makers both here and around the world? We should all be lining up in the mornings hoping to get a chance to kiss their feet !!!! After all these are the makers and keepers of perfection. So let's stop jumping on any issue which hurts or separates anyone or any group of people without giving very very very serious thought to the old saying "There but for the Grace of God go I".
"Crafty Rastas"? Is that similar to "Uppity Niggers"??? My oh my. No foreign force needs to attack the Bahamas, we are killing ourselves better than anyone else can.
People dont care what Jesus said anymore. Sunday is dress-up day. So many churches - like Rev above said - dont even use wine in their sacrament. They believe Jesus turned water into apple cider. At the Last Supper he and the apostles drank Tang.
Kids today are smarter than you think. They know better than to waste time studying for a diploma they will present somewhere, only to be told "no jobs available." In the Bahamas, fat dumb and happy rules the day.
What's amazing is how much noise the Christian Council made prior to legalization, and how silent they've been afterward. 180 degree turn? I dont know.

Yes, help is on the way. His name is Jesus. However, He will not require a passport from any of us to travel with Him.
