How does this help when parties continue to put forward representatives like Lanisha Rolle? When MPs cant read? When they cant debate? When they know nothing about the ministries they oversee? When they refuse to answer. Literally say, it wouldn't be helpful to me to answer the public's concerns? When MPs dont have to account for their finances? When MPs can do whatever they want around the laws they didnt take enough time to review before banging on the desk. When a man can sit in parliament for 4 months with a rape charge over his head and as another over a year with allegations of bribery?

How does any of this window dressing make any difference to our corruption susceptible system?

Will *PLP* Bell be prosecuted for his *leak*

*The real problem in all of this is the corruption aid that politicians have for decades included in every law: ~"at the discretion of the minister"*

*Every country probably has a similar break glass in case of emergency power. The problem here is the power is used indiscriminately, randomly, irresponsibly, nontransparently and much too often for personal gain and stupidity. We must start electing honest ethical competent thinking people to parliament. No law maker in their right mind would expect an immigration minister to ok a prisoner getting married in jail, because he has the "legal authority to allow it". Here we often hear, "well the law doesnt say he cant... so".*

*We run a stupid nation. It only takes 10 in power to do so. Every tourist, the EU, the smugglers, Nygard, Sam, the Chinese, they all know it.*

I forgot the US State Dept knows it too

"*Mr Davis said it is unlawful for civil servants to share the names and personal details of people from files in a department’s custody.*"

When the funeral reveal issue first came up, I pointed out that nobody knew the gentlemans name, his request or that his wife had been granted citizenship after his death until Mr Bell unnecessarily brought a **private** application for citizenship into the public domain, at a funeral. A very odd use of his "*discretionary*" power. It was also revealed that based on the leak the widow had been subject to some threats.

Will Mr Bell also be prosecuted for leaking private data?

Yes I know, the difference is they're living in a hotel that, according to press releases, should open to guests soon, and hanging clothes in the window???? thats unsanitary. What kind of *tourism* operation is Chester Cooper running? I'm waiting for Fred Mitchell or the PM to pop up and equate this to a Bahamar or Atlantis having rooms available to staff working odd or excess shifts. You could imagine an Atlantis employee hanging clothes out to dry in the window?

someone is taking their cut allowing identity documents to be sold and smuggling operations to continue unabated while these vulnerable people are allowed to live in squalor, Haitians Chinese Mexicans Czechs etc etc etc. Pay close attention to who moves into these ministerial positions repeatedly while nothing changes

Why waste the time. Cancel parliament for the next two years. Clearly each minister has the right to do whatever they like. Someone wins the bid process, why honour that? In fact why not just give all contracts to the 65 Chinese workers *disadvantaged by COVID*. Can they do the work you ask? Why is that important, it dont have to make sense.

No no no, an employer cannot hold the identity documents of an immigrant worker. You are setting up a classic slave labour environment. Because now you in a strange land and you cant leave. And either Bell or Cooper *allegedly* facilitated this???

Can a citizenry go to the world court?

The reason Bell isnt speaking is clear. He either incriminates himself or Chester Cooper. One of them did not tell the truth. And Chester Cooper doubled down on *never giving a response to Bell*. Whats Bell to do? No minister of the govt can reasonably tell the public *Im not speaking to give any clarity on a matter, think what you want.*

Meanwhile Kirk Cornish and Adrian Gibson sitting in there with Bell and Cooper, everybody pointing at everybody else saying, *well, they didnt have to leave*

As I said on Monday, we run a stupid nation.

"***The real problem in all of this is the corruption aid that politicians have for decades included in every law: ~"at the discretion of the minister"***

They want the public to believe that any minister can do what he feels like doing because he can act on case by case discretion? Whats to stop a minister from accepting 10,000 dollars for this *off the books, outside policy norms* "discretion". And in this situation, someone who exercises such historically abysmal decisions as Mr Bell is allowed to go rogue?

*As I said before Bell will be allowed to survive (because it looks like he's the patsy), until he's embroiled in the irrecoverable embarrassment for the govt*

It is yet to be determined who's lying.

**The January 2023 letter written by the PS says Bell told her the order came from the Deputy Prime Minister**. It would strain the bounds of belief that Bell would make that claim at that time if it werent true. Why would he need to? He has power to order the PS to do what he wants without referring to anyone else. The PS then has to carry out the order or face disciplinary action for not doing so.**The only reason you cite someone else's name on an unusual order that you have the power to give on your own is, you want to make it clear this nonsense didnt come from me**
