I am not saying that the food program didnt help people. It did. it was literally the only source of food for some for over a year.
I am saying the entire picture didnt add up. Tried to get this point to one individual who was stuck on Dr Minnis, and bombastic in their support, *disasters are magnets for fraudsters*, they hide in the chaos and the sheer volume of activity, who's going to notice? Thats why international non profits place such high value on transparency, so the public and donors know exactly whats happening and dont lose confidence. Wasnt the counyry given a 250 million dollar facility that they were unable to account for? And I know some people would say *oh, go dig up in the treasury and finance all the records there. We have all the receipts*. Thats not transparency. At minimum transparency requires timeliness, this 2023.
Disaster preparedness is one of those th8ngs that has to be centrally coordinated. Whats mind boggling is they gat big NEMA and DRA right there with a full time job to do that. Fires can break out in hurricanes (since hurricane is the only disaster we seem to know about)
NO. See whats happening here? Theyre strategically buying up small pieces of property from private owners. Imagine the day when the hotels and cruise ships own every piece of beach front in the country. That's where they headed.
"*The initial shot was most likely taken by a shooter standing directly next to the driver-side door, while it was closed. It is further concluded that multiple shots were additionally fired by more than one shooter from at least one other position after the driver-side door was opened to at least two different angles.*"
These are the type of intelligent people we need on the police force. We don't need more busy work saturation patrols and more cars. We need brain power or brains as we say.
**If** this was just anger acting out I hope someone speaks up. Would be a very dangerous individual walking around with a legal license to kill
I recall saying something was off with the food program quite early on but as a nation there was a national view of why yall troubling them good people doing all that good work? A few days ago someone referenced the phrase from a Bahamian song "*Pimps in the Pulpit*", no better place to hide, noone looks for them in plain sight. We have no vision. I see a new batch of people jockeying to be placed in leadership now.
"*deputy Commissioner of Police Leamond Deleveaux yesterday denied reports that former Youth, Sports and Culture Minister Lanisha Rolle is being investigated by police.*
*He said police were looking into some “irregularities” at the ministry, but could not say if those irregularities occurred when the Minnis administration was in power or during Mrs Rolle’s tenure.*
*When approached by reporters on the matter yesterday, Mrs Rolle said her track record spoke for itself and added that she believed in due time, the truth will be revealed.*
Lanisha Rolle was correct about one thing:
"*in due time, the truth will be revealed*"
Lanisha is actually a sad case. She was someone who should have never been put in that position. She was never equipped to handle power, neither was Adrian Gibson. That was clear to everyone. Yet Dr Minnis pushed both of them to the tippy top immediately. Never made sense.
I still say all this new sheriff in town business is unnecessary. The focus needs to be on prevention the exception should be chasing people down. Prevent the build up.
"*we have to find a way to ensure that the process works more smoothly, because in Bimini the other day the issue came down to simply three batteries were needed for the fire engine.”*
Hmmm. I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a Central agency solely responsible for disaster preparedness. Then none of these issues would slip our attention. I mean that would literally be the year round job of everyone at the agency... They should pass that resolution in parliament, call it something cool like *National Emergency Management Agency* or *Disaster Response Agency* or come up with something new altogether like *Star Wars*
