Spot on ThisIsOurs.
Bank officers review accounts, computers flag unususl transactons, internal auditors review accounts, external officers review accounts, bank officers attend anti money laindering, suspicious transactions courses snd reviews yearly, weekly memos etcetcetc and yet this happems. Staff are maxed out in roles to perform and targets to meet so this is inevitable plus staff is being cut even further to be replaced with machines.
Thank goodness this took an external investigation just like the BEC recent investigation to shatter the image that this does not happen at banks.
We need Indepemdent Financial agency like in the UK andUSA to have the power to investigate and audit banks.

Stop being so ignorant that your emotions overide first grade comprehension.
In addition to review boards Ombudsman etc is suggested to complain to which has been in the works.
The learned senior police officer used the words 'independent' twice plus the o5verall 'review board has the oversll responsibility and authority also to call anyone of those complaints in to ensure that due process was followed in the investigation process.'
197 complaints and 5% decline fron 308 in 2016 nevertheless shows that people are prepared to face whatever retaliation that you perceive. Some 30 to 40 thousand daily newspaper readers oftrn find it funny when we read the stories and shortly the accused pleads Not guilty. Of course the accused is expected to say snything except to man up to their crime. Few criminals ever plead guilty despite glaring facts and in some cases like those two who locked themselves in the walk in freezer they thought was the back door and even those caught on a drug boat etc.
Any steps to deal with and enhance oversight police investigations, complaints by 'indepemdent' body is welcomed.
Without checks and balances to protect police fairly or unfairly accused we would indeed be faced with what you say leading to total chaos.
Changes body cameras, promotion by merit not 2 weeks before elections, Independent review board, upgraded ewuipment segeways, ATV, reviews of the bail act etc must happen in order to improve.
While all is not perfect as some may pecreive there is a country to run, tourists and citizems and illegals to protect and there is this additional independrnt boatd now available.

Quite correct.
Ingenius plan now perfected cause you can come by sloop boat, plane, yacht etc and file papers which take time to get processed and appealed and in the meanwhile like the 60,000 in US from earthquake make 23,000 plus babies.
DNA did have some policies and they need to speak.

excellent!!!
Independent examinations are needed.
In such a small island everone is related, marriage, outside children, god children, from same island, same school, church, social groups, politocal party, it will always be suspect when decisions are made.
Plus when reviews are paid by the same govt or paymaster and or appointed by the same govt such as directors of agencies monitores by same govt.

Many practices in the banking are suspect as some auditors have to look at whether they conform to the office which hires and pays them versus spilling the beans whistle blower to the public.
We need more Independent Review Boards for both govt and private, Ombudsman etc, perhaps where money is involves even a percent of money involved for whistlrblowers.

Nice try SP.........join the line, Bank of the Bahamas is next,....
Bahamas DevelopmentBank, Bahamas Mortgage Corp,
Road Traffic, .....
NIB

So many huge loans given out that went bad causing bailout of 100 million and recently 166 million and properties valued less than 100 million and even their own official pointed this out!!! Dont know if he still has a job.

Waiting for present Auditor General who has been doing a great job to go over the business the last Chairman former Auditor General oversaw.

Lets examine these book records to see who benefitted, who got declined, who got victimized, who got help and who didnt etc.
Loan policies are standard and persons have wanted to know where the VAT money gone. Looking at all these forensic audits perhaps some independent auditors should be hired.

I would be happy to use a properly run transit like many major city municipal bus transit and use all the car costs instead for food, medicals, pay bec, development and security like camera surveillance system, more razor wire, save,
Sadly the present transit needs improving and is a meance and immediate danger to life.

Why add on costs and we local mechanic already still gon checks it out?? Doesnt the Chamber know how pore people who value every penny dey earns ack ?? Das why by popular usage 9 outta 10 cars driving past thd Chamber office on Shirley is right hand Japanede??
Instead of the Chamber messing with the small ordinary people dey should finish off tackling dere Bank members who plenty people hav complaints but still nothin done.

The foremost solution should Start with the strong teachings and unwavering belief and faith in Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour.
The nation has to come together and renounce Voodoo, Baron Samedi, idol worship yet even the majority who go to Church 65% practice voodoo.
Start by asking forgiveness nationally for making a pact with the devil for 1804 iindependence success.
It doesnt matter what political, or other solution to try, it will be doomed to failure without Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Some islands still dont have proper running water.

And over the decades as govt have created some 10,000 low cost housing in the outer city subdividions and now the former urban renewal areas of former Bahamian homes are rented to Haitians moving out of the real illegal shanyy towms And benefittong from the stand pipes all over these urban areas. definitely wrong for bahamians to collect rent from haitians renting their old homes and getting free water fron the stand pipes all over the urban renewal areas.
matter of fact all these rental homes should be charged real property tax.

Management thinking should change to the realities of the day and water meters put in all these areas. Govt and MPs should use their voters lists cross reference with residences ownership to catch rentals to charge RealPropertyTax. This free safe water supply is yet another freebe illegals moving into urban renewal areas enjoy. People who can pay rent can pay for water like everyone else.

Govt should also charge and jail people for environmental pollution like pooping in latrines in illegal shanty towns that disperse waste directly into ground and water table. Especially when Bahamians have to follow the rules.

Very distressing. Dr. Sands should visit this family.
More is needed from our Health prpviders but the challenges ultimately points to money.
PMH needs to look at off balance sheet revenues like for instance building a Health Food Restairant on Hotel property on the crest of the hill behimd the University School currently used for parking lot. Parking relocated to biohazard waste area and move biohazard site.
Guarranteed the best views in Nassau.
Repurpose hospital records buildongs also located pn crest of the hill certain private sector will pay premium for those views which has panoramic view of harbour, ships, PI.
