Good for Mr. Smith to be the persistent lawyer of some 3,000 ? Bahamian lawyersto be the one to find anyting at all periods on the issues relatin to persons of Haitian backgrounds.

What he should have be BETTER done is to make efforts to educate the persons about the laws that repeatedly and repeatedly an repeatedly kept on being broken, the horrid travelling in horribly overladen sloops without safety equipment, the illegal human trafficking which never have a boat captain, the Bahamas salaried authorities bizarely unable to find the employers of illegal status ones but manages to locate hundreds annually and repatriate them to Haiti , years dat the authorities put small notices in papers for public to comment on person without the photo which since changed, the authorities repeating annually work permits for majority of some 20,000 ? particular category maid, gardenor, housekeeper etc at minimum wage levels whichin Bahamians done know its not living level AND seems to do so until these they have grandchildren and the list goes on..... The BETTER solution, if he can solicit donations per every word spoken it would by now be enough to purchase an entire hotel to accomodate all aggrieved ones with legal status better structually safer humane accomodations. The nation should done learn of hurricane damages to illegal poor constructed structures.

Chillrens and adults spectators should not be allowed on demolition sites! Offically designated personnel must be wearing proper footwear clothing, masks, construction hats etc etc. especially in vicinity of falling debris, items snapping disintegrating, pieces of wood, metal, shards of broken glass etc. Getting demolition done and removal of debris, costs a lot of money to get accomplished and culprits must be found and charged.

Somewhere in these operations there must be persons or culprits responsible for illegal construction, and da bills for be given to them along with jail times. Taxpayers in the entire Bahamas should not be solely responsible to pay the bill, and culprits getting off of these illegally repeated illegally shantytown construction actions. Bill the culprits and throw them in jail where they are guarranteed a roof over their heads.

While in laissez faire free enterprise society, it is likely a business compliance health rating come along to have ratings on businesses ...and customers will just choose where to spend their money. Simple!

All dese govt departments engages in this to arrest only 3 Haitians caught breaking law, in bus, and done breaching the law borders of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, an everybody done know that during the December time, just 5 ive months ago, there are usually more than just just only 3 men in a boat travelling all the way from Haiti. More questioning of these 3 males should be done instead of minor fines and complimentary BahamasAir ? plane tickets back to Haiti.

@ abomination Good views. Somehow the well published sagas of Mr. Nygard of Nygard Cay and also Mr. Ledher of Norman Cay comes to mind.

NIB has the ability to collect NIB contributions from the people and even sues delinquent persons who are not paying to obtain their money. These monies are invested to give returns to pay. These investments must have clearly clearly defined rules by NIB and lendings are audited internally and externally. Looking at the photos, it clearly makes it necessary for independent investigations into investments of the NIB peoples contributions!!!

Fully agree Tribanon. This horrible mass killings of six persons happening since 1964, before independence of this nation, is indeed horrible and the salaried officials who have failed need to be replaced. Too many times we have heard on blaming the people, blame the education and other factors when there are the educated officials in charge and having an inability to get the job done. A full investigation by independent committee be done to find better ways to stop these killings by persons going around this small island with illegal high powered guns capable of spewing lots of powerful bullets over great distances ...mile plus? This is a national horrible event that needs action.

....er...apart for wearing masks and social distancing for Covid 19 protection these Police officers quickly responding to the shooting scene should also be wearing the bullet proof vests, especially seeing what the villians have done.

The parcels of food being given out should also have a kit with leaflet notes of Farming advice and seeds or young vegetable or other plants to cultivate. .25 cents for a photocopied page of growing instructions and farming centre contacts info etc. and $1. worth of pumpkin seeds or other seeds?

We da pore lacking the understanding is the gratefull beneficiaries of the stellicularest education system ....by the mostest educated experts, specialists, people who being to University and plenty letters before an after name, highly qualified best Officials for decades to make us better. Thanks bestest educated people ...you gave us for the stellicularist education for decades.
