"*Ronald Ralph Moorhead Jr v Commissioner of Police case, the Court of Appeal overturned a one-year prison sentence for an American diabetic man convicted of firearm possession after finding that the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services could not manage his medical condition.*"

Diabetics dont go to prison in the Bahamas?

"*promises*"??

At this stage if you're offering candidacy shouldnt you already have a substantial plan with detailed budgets, objectives, resources needed over "*10 points*"?

Because paper will be worthless if there's no money to pay for it. Look at the Data Commissioner. "Appointed" but no staff, no equipment and no money.

Bahamians miss the point on this one. I too believe it was mindblowing that Mrs Larson was arrested. I would really like the present commissioner to state on what evidence she was held in a prison cell. I could accept asking her to come in to answer questions, but arrested?? That's very odd.

But, it is very very clear that both audits found odd, and people might be surprised to know how odd, practices at NGOs. Remember when the liquidators asked the Sam Bankman NGOs to give back the money they received and the Bishop say "*the money gone?*". Gone on what? We dont know. We dont know if it was for personal use or not. We know he fed people who needed food, but we dont know if that cost 10%, 20%, 50% or 100% of the money. And that is unacceptable. "Good" notwithstanding

A psychiatrist would have to determine if she is "mentally ill".

But the description here sounds like a person with zero power in their life. The only outlet for the anger brewing in the internal volcano, caused by that sense of helplessness is the attacking the equally powerless and less so. It's why men attack women and not big burly men who are stronger than them, packs on jobsites/at school attack single individuals and not groups, people in the armed forces attack citizens and not the senior officer and parents attack helpless children.

Fraud is common in charitable work, this is not debatable. From persons trying to scam benefits to persons trying to scam contracts

It depends on their level of seniority. What dont you get? An NGO is like every other organization with tiered levels of pay

Thanks for the correction.

"*THE **Davis administration says it will move ahead** with consultations on a National Junkanoo Authority bill, despite the Junkanoo Corporation of New Providence suspending all activities in protest over what it calls a rollback of self-governance and an attempt to centralise control.*:

Post appeals court ruling, I guess theyll leave the sports minister to sink on the boat by himself

Again the govt needs to create a 3ft foundation policy. Every home built from today onward should have a 3ft foundation minimum. The govt then needs to adjust their duties to make that affordable. Think of that v/s the cost of rescuing and supporting 10,000 people or more. And the reclamation of swamp land for construction needs to stop, beginning with the contaminated swamp land sold to the govt for a hospital that they propose "filling in" to push the water into neighbouring communities

MPs are supposed to be thinkers. Only thinkers can create laws for good governance. School bags, farmers market, parks and mothers day Rose's are not the existential crisis these people need to be addressing. If you dont have the capacity to think, or you can think but put your money making above people, i.e. zero empathy, please self-report and rescind your nomination

Btw and generally speaking, have you noticed that anytime a famous millionaire mentions a new venture and "millions in investment", Bahamians seem to go crazy? They dont ask any questions. Zero. Aided by the host, they go off on long tangents of how this will be wonderful for the country and create opportunities for smart young people. Homeporting, RCI, Cruise Port, Carnival, Grand Lucayan, SpaceX, OceanGate and on and on. As if they will personally get to meet Sam Bankman, Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Elon Musk even Sebas and Nygard, and they will put their arm around them, smile as if they're best buddies now and hand over an envelope with 1million dollars.

And nothing could be further than the truth. Maybe, that's "*maybe*", if we're lucky, the operation grants 20 Bahamian jobs paying in excess of 50k. But that's it. Everything else is money out the country. Potholes still pop up everywhere, property prices get higher, travel budgets get larger, education plummets, food prices increase, electricity and water systems continue to fail and blight spreads across the country

We need a standard

I dont know... I've never eaten a "Hawaiian" branded pineapple and thought, "*I need to go to Hawaii*"... same for "*Alaskan*" salmon, "*Colombian*" coffee or cocoa...
