...second last para shuuld be ....The age of the applicant and govt criteria age should be ultimately decided and left to the criteria of the free market competition licensed Lending Institutions, regulated by Central Bank of the Bahamas for a successfull situation. Govt may guide the Lending Institutions on questionable age of applicant but not engage/direct free enterprise Lending institions to participate on age discrimination of applicants in national program..

Discrimination against professionals over 45 years old. Seems the chosen 45 years is the very common 20 year mortgage, applicant at max 45 years old starting for 20 year term mortgage ending at govt age 65 year, common retirement and for those who are employed by others ie govt, companies where they get monthly salaries. Self Employed persons generally do not
follow scheduled retirement at age 65 years old.

The govt program age factor, seems excludes over 45 years olds the economy mainstay of Self Employed Professionals ie Beauticians, Chartered Accountants, Carpenters, Plumbers, Barbers etc who generally keep on working after the govt. age 65 requirement years.

The age of the applicant and criteria age should ultimately left to the criteria of the free market competition licenced regulated by Central Bank of Lending Institutions an nofor successful situation.

Another factor of concern is the evaluation of persons with disabilities who have the difficulties of obtaining life insurances as requirement policy to Lending banks.

Hmmmmm.....beef up security....more patrols.....??? What seems to be the commonsense from beginning would have been to brought the CID arm to be meeting residents, and questioning people clues, leads etc to go to the causes and sources of these acts to bring it to the end.

Indeed, indeed tru, tru views very good Tribanon, but then again earlier this same month, weeks, days ago, these unionists were parading with their political supporters on a Covid restricted parade, but now weeks days later same month their well populated political tee shirt group is nowhere in sight! not one in sight. Their political supporters just very cleverly sweethearted them an nowhere to be seen.

Many dynamics emerges over the lives of tens of thousands people involved and further 400,000 lives of existing Bahamian citizens involved.

Over the decades of frequent apprehensions of persons without Bahamian papers etc and automatically returned to mostly Haiti and Jamaica would seem they were illegally done and many were the children of the Bahamian father and entitled to return ticket, be returned back to Nassau Airport.

Now if they have been certified wid Bahamian papers, seems there will have host of more challenges arising especially from "new' brothers and sisters coming forth an wid new nieces, nephews abroad and returning back ....whichinin.. existing Bahamians did not know about. And now well known national sweethearting local or foreign women and babies comes with responsibilities, is ensured.

In light of the recent monumental challenges, matter of tens of thousands persons which affects 400,000 present Bahamians ways of life, there obviously national concern to all, there should be immediately created a national committee to come up with best avenues of solution , answers, orderly way forward...rather than a jolt possible chaos... to society to this critical matter for 400,000 plus tens of thousands more.

Thank you Uncle Sam.

You should talk to some of the Medical doctors on some more of these challenges females go through in this nation. lol

The final yea or nay on baby citizenship must be part on the mother ..... who for 9 months have to endure some the following..... heartburn,... morning sickness,... bleeding gums, ...constipation, ...fainting, ...varicose veins, ...vaginal discharges,...backpains,...fevers,...tiredness,...urge to go to bathroom visits,...trying to fit in car, etcetc and the wanting to eat icecream and sardines in the middle of the night. This should be moreso specially if the male who impregnated the female out of wedlock is not around.

No male allegedly being the father of the baby being carried for all the months of pregnancy by female and wid back pains, vaginal discharges, above mentioned etc should have male, the leading figure more than that of the carrying pregnant unwed mother.

.......er, and to read therafter of the Bahamian Officials going back across the ocean to the former colonial rulers after all dese years.... to find out who the Bahamian citizen is.
