In all fairness to the principal she as anyone else would not have any mutuneers plotting to oust the captain on board the same ship.

If the exams are in dispute then its the people above her and obviously from the language that she needs to know her role, she has been disrespectful, she needs to mature and she needs training...... any educated teacher should know yhat if you come with dat hsrd moutin throwin blows......an no bbroughtupsy you ain gon be havin no educated conversatining aint no matter how many or who you is....

.....@Madhatter read the same article and yes this clearly is unusual knowing this is contra to what the Haitian Constitution says. They are an extremely proud people ....they may be impovrished but have culture and bond going back centuries snd noone should try to deny them their rightful inheritance to their country, culture or citzenship.

Roc wid Doc, Dr Minnis should also create a Minnis Plan similar to the Marshall Plan.
Perhaps he should negotiate and acquire fertile Haitian land on a 99 year lease pay a nominal fee and grow crops using the huge abundance of farm labour. Persons can be repatriated fron the Bahamas and if desiring jobs get first preferance. Bahamian Haitian venture can also be joined by other caricom menbers.
And no to any Bahamians wanting to move on our farmland an set up any shantytowns!!

Investigate how all those loans got to be toxic and how 100 million was paid for assets worth some 22.5 million, and investigate.

This bank has further gobbled up 40 plus 10 million in govt pirchasing 'rights' issue plus 167 million plus 100 million in the works week or so ago. All to be borne by taxpayers?????????

Question is if the last 100 million is to be sought from the private sector..... then why didnt the private sector purchase the 40 rights issue which the govt was forced to buy??????????
.....And with the rights issue the share prices also fell from around 5.22 yo less than 1 dollar losing some 160 ?million in value.

Clearly the bank should be divested aka sold but then again a due diligence would have to be done, so why the continupus delays?????????

We know the good Bishop is a tru tru Bahamian who went yo Haitii to visit some years ago. He has been active in ttying for a better Bahamas mgore than many persons for grnerations and was championing the cause of the Bahamjans who got ripped off by Clico himself included....of course the Board should have been accountable especially any insurance company looks to invest all dose premiums but Clico for some unusual reason was borrowing from banks to buy office buildings which should have been a concern to the Central Bank and also how monies left the country to go to Florida to buy property.
Then again while we are at the Clico busoness perhaps we should look at Clico affiliates and principal Lawrence Duprey of Trinidad and other companies espevially oil and gas.
The Boafd of Clico Bahamas should have been held accountable and jailed if they were responsible. Not the Bahamian taxpayer.
