Ha! our laws and rules are not outdated, it is our people who have failed the rules! From the Elected through the appointed to the Governed, we had no problem following personalities, seeking safety and prosperity in one tribe or another. We abandoned the only real safety and Justice available to us, the Rule of Law. Every single Elected individual steps right over the line dividing authority and personal power within days of appointment/posting. To the point at hand, being offered a job or appointment with Government and accepting equates to selling out, being silenced and comes at a heavy price. It is your soul and you are free to sell it to whom you like but, Understand it for what it is.
Nuisance issues? your web portal is slow and often crap, so trying to input codes etc when your system has been updated but no one else has the updates is incompetence complete! If the WCO updates or changes these codes every 5 years, would it not behoove you to Warn/inform/facilitate the private sector ahead of time? After all, it's your damn all important revenue that also gets affected! Oh no, better to stand by the age old customs practice of complete secrecy (including your own officers) up to and even weeks beyond the fact! Sorry dude, your pathetic excuses don't fly.
Mr Wells, please educate yourself before making statements that illustrate your lack of understanding: The Bahamas National Trust does indeed charge for moorings that they have placed throughout the Exumas Land and sea park, and has for years. Placing and Maintaining mooring balls is costly. Ya'll cant maintain Nav lights and channel markers, nor light houses for that matter. Why is it a day within being posted to a new ministry they have to put their foot in their mouths and screw with things they know nothing about? Let me remind you of the recent obvious to everyone else scenario, The Bone headed Bone fishing regulations! Killed that one well didn't we? Your gonna drive the cruising/boating visitors away also? Already boating forums based in the U.S. indicate the VAT increase has caused a significant % to cancel their plans to cross the stream this year.
A constitutional Monarchy is not a democracy, is not designed to be a democracy, and will never be a democracy. It is the highest form of nepotistic governance. Democracy is 9 wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner. Democracy by another name is Mob rule. Careful what you wish for, it is more of the same that is ruining the Bahamas.
What a marvelous Idea! I suggest undercover agents for all Government departments and all Politically elected and appointed figures past and present too! And make sure this applies, your words. Additionally, the commission has the authority to report any suspected violations to the Office of the Attorney General which is expected to, in consultation with the director of public prosecutions and the Royal Bahamas Police Force, aggressively investigate and prosecute should such evidence be found."
