a significant part of the effectiveness of any campaigning political party, wanting to be the next Government should also list their selections of key persons to be their politically appointed Heads and Members of the Boards of government agencies. Frankly, given the extremely poor repeatedly yearly performance of some, at great detriment to voters and future generations ....even known to by external agencies, there would not be any candidates of any political party being voted in in the first place !!!!!

Knowing the candidates also to be selected as politically appointed positions like Chairman and members of the Boards would clear up the process on whom is elected as government !!!!!

Is Her Royal Majesty's Opposition Party have a word to at least say something ??? or, on vacation ???

Good intentions. Reality is these ideal improvements are only as good as a functioning opposition sitting across the table. Regretably, those in the Opposition sit on their hands making the token outbursts, token chest thumping,arguments around Debate Parliament rules, withdrawal of statements - no substance of tangible Opposition role, just hot air doing nothing. The main play of the Opposition at forefront of party is to let the electorate know that they (blank) party can only do anything when they are elected to be the next government. Perfectly ingrained pattern merry go round or commonly known as they dont get voted in, they get voted out.

...er...need not to build and expand Fox Hill Prison for Debtors. The upsidedown world is that the Prison would be privilaged for regular meals etc., while the outside population have to beg for bowls of gruel long lines, water bills gone up water cannot be paid and looks time for the outhouse or historic metal potty inside house at night, lights off no jobs no money no electricity 24 hrs lights off, confined curfew stresses on the outside etcetc. Seems that prison is not inside Fox Hill Prison, seems Prison is on the outside with population tortured prisoners of events.

Isn't it still a co-founder of the major web shop, and partner of Mr. Bastian, a Mr. Adrian Fox a "fugative" and wanted by a US Court after all these years ???

Extremely sad. The officials should locate their cell phones to see whether the phone's torch lights were activated to illuminate the way. Really really sad.

These deals needs to be fully investigated when the politicians use thousands of acres of Bahamian property with foreign investers.. Last four including Izmirlian major deals involving thousands of acres of land....like the $2.8 billion dollars Ginn in Grand Bahama,,....the I Group some $1.8 billion dollars and thousands of acres almost all the beaches in Mayaguana,....like the recent Oban some $5.5 billion dollars in Grand Bahama.

Investigations are needed on these failed projects. The only investigations seems subsequent to these billion dollar deals and with known investigation and audit, seems to be the already known irregularity in the Govt Ministry already exposed is the usage of $582.40 (five hundred and eighty two dollars and forty cents) used to make medals with the Minister's pphoto on it, and female Minister was rightly reprimanded and forced to repay the $582.40 ...versus... the string of billion dollar failures and thousands of acres and millions in concessions..

In a multi billion dollar investment and by Izmirlian investor or any other involving Bahamian portion of lands, concessions etc and making significant impact on its failure on economy....and there is no investigation by Govt..!!!!!! No politicians should by playing with the peoples birth right with investors and foreign govts and NO investigaations into the multi billion hotel project leading to its failure.!!!!

Whether the solutions are not simple or difficult, the coming Hurricane season starts in a couple of months and the lives of the inhabitants of shantytowns are in a more dangerous situation in the shantytowns. Simple or hard solutions for the inhabitants in known shantytowns must have forward action to ensure the safety of peoples lives in the coming Hurricane season.

Some dozen Caribbean countries have gone down the path and scrapped airlines like BWIA, Air Jamaica, Guyana Airways, LIAT etc. Continued propping up BahamasAirr is bizarre by such a well educated Businessman who came into politics should know better.

Continued massively hugely throwing millions of precious taxpayers tax dollars into BahamasAir....kknowingly stifles and kills the other Bahamian Air Transportation businesses and smothers any likelihood of survival.......... Bizarre keeping one Bahamas Air going until killing off dozens and dozens of BAhamians in the free market aircraft transportation industry with debts, loans, employees, plans for expansions, other routes. Govt should get the hell out of these businesses...unfairly competiting with its own entrepreneurs and now at this critical point...very intentionally doing actions ....eliminating them. Competition laws are needed.... !!!!!
