Ingraham stifled his cabinet, threw friends and cabinet ministers under his bus, Christie let his run loose, reprimanded, fired none. Perhaps a stable middle of the road approach is the correct Medicine? (no pun intended) To the letter of the law. Never been any fault with our laws, just failed enforcement.
If the above statements are indeed in it, you are right Banker: Tripe. But most externally funded studies are full of tripe. The authors try to mask or hide the harsh realities. Literacy is defined as reading Writing and basic arithmetic, but no component for logic or abstract thought. Rote learning kills the brain. I will find and study it.
Yes, the PLP created a tough way for itself on all fronts Birdie, by being endemically corrupt. Justice must be seen to be done, in as much as actually done. Transparency mean see through, clear, not opaque, concealed, hidden. Sealed documents, muddy opaque policies, Concealed contracts and kickbacks, Hidden VAT $$ Tell Halketis don't go far.....
Personal affection or personal affliction? I ask because we were all afflicted........ Mr. Christies disgraceful legacy is further disgraced by the fact he did not address even his constituents! Seems the old guard of both Parties are poor losers.
Like DonAnthony, I will be quick to criticize This FNM admin, if caught doing wrong, As I did the last, if only because I expect better from them. I expect more Sensibility, Honesty, Public inclusion and consultation that results in action. Kind of pointless to criticize a PLP Government who had no shame nor care in the world that we all knew what they were doing, and they did it anyway. Scandal after scandal, breach of trust as a modus operandi. Seems the majority of Bahamians do not like arrogance.
Stolen funds should be returned to its rightful owner, the treasury, and prosecution of the common thieves as convicted (man that has a nice ring to it) is essential for all politicians of any strip to be reminded that the responsibility of elected or appointed office is not a scot free grab bag or personal windfall! There is more work to be done than any 36, or even 360 people can do. It will require every decent right thinking Bahamian and yes, even foreigners to correct all that is broken. The civil service must be put back to the written rules regarding approvals, permits, inspections, etc. They have no right to deny or defer, only to receive the required documentation, and rubber stamp asap. Ministerial perusal of and tinkering with projects etc must stop. (save foreign direct investment which also needs cleaning up)
Criminal prosecution of the guilty would be quicker, A royal commission costly, which has never ended in criminal prosecution. (correct?) Our country is beset by so many shortfalls and shattered structures of governance it will take more than ministers issuing edicts to fix. It will take the combined efforts and will of all who recognize the issues at hand. Also, without a strong opposition, the people better find and use their voice in the 5 year interim! Just as the people voiced their displeasure to depose the PLP, be consistent and remove that very necessity!
Minnis is awful in public. He is like a bowl of grits without the boil fish. However, he is a planner. He is slow and deliberate. He can sublimate his ego (something PLPs can't do) and he trusts others on his team. He is an awful politician, but as I previously iterated, he will make a good leader." In this I believe you are right Banker, minnis is not the usual egomaniac we usually Lust after. (and then regret!) I truly hope he holds to Not having a ministry, but overseeing all ministers appointed to ministries, with particular emphasis on "fraud and corruption control"
I saw PLP yellow shirts standing right outside the polling division door for 2 hours today, doing nothing, but one was talking thru the window slats to someone inside the polling station! That has to be wrong. Probably old world intimidation tactics. Doesn't matter now......
