Re tourist death in Exuma: "*There’s nothing mysterious about the death,” Mr Cooper continued. The information will reveal itself in due course. The police (are) continuing their investigations. They will release the findings. I won’t endeavour to speak on the police part but there is nothing mysterious about it and I’m confident that in the course of time, police will speak to the issue.*"
They won't release anything in "due course". They will wait until noone is paying attention to speak up. This is the go to strategy of every administration and it is starting to backfire. Start promoting competence in senior ranks so that any worker can speak competently about active issues, the public has confidence in what is being said and workers can answer reporters' probing questions with sense.
If we are charging 10% VAT and other jurisdictions are charging 22%., there has to be some other reason for the fall off.
Once again I think someone, and I stress ONE, is making some sweeping economic changes with no attempt to understand the economics. We've seen this over and over again out of Finance in the past year with dramatic negative impacts. Brace Davis needs to put an eagle eye on whats happening there
It was **draft** cabinet paper birdie, meaning it was just being reviewed. Probably sent to finance to make sure they were in agreement after which it would have gone to cabinet. Sorry the PLP missed this one and I could say understandably, theres alot of moving parts when assuming office. The only lynchpin is, after COVID, there was probably not one issue more important than the cost of energy. Baffling that both the Works and Finance minister can deny knowledge. This is bad, not the the PLP but for our governance, Im almost certain if the FNM was coming into power the same thing would have happened. They have to run on the same strategic plan.
The most troubling part is that nobody asked about a possible conflict. Even after the FTX lesson. This was reported as a wonderful sign of "commitment". And how did that conversation go? Did we go after them asking for money? That would be even more troubling. I believe we've completely lost our ethical compass we literally can no longer tell what's right and wrong when big money is involved. We will do and accept anything.
What were the fines levied for that recent oil spill? If noone has been fined please stop talking about a carbon credits industry because your intention would literally be committing fraud, taking people's money with zero intention of protecting the asset on which the carbon tokens are based

**This is their biggest mistake.** From the pic of the director with a shovel in her hand next to SBF at the breaking ground ceremony for the FTX headquarters, the SCB is putting themselves in an extremely compromising position. **How can you accept money from the people youre supposed to regulate?** How can you act as a cheerleader for the industry?
**Think of it, this would be the equivalent of the gaming board accepting a donation from Sebas. Or the police accepting a donation of bullet proof vests from Ninety Knowles. *What else you think we could ask for? Better not get on their bad side.* It makes no fiduciary sense. They are more than happy to BUY you**
It appears to me that money making is the chief objective in this whole inititative. And when the love of money becomes the overriding driver you overlook all kinds of things, like org charts and financial statements that make no business sense, because money making.
**And did the SCB attempt to mislead the Bahamian public after SBF said he was directed by the regulators to move funds by saying they *did not give any such order*??? Word parsing is not useful. They could have said "*here's what we asked him to do...*". They implied they didnt give ANY order**
