Shouldn't dese Officials of UN United Nations on coming to and doing their official duties in this Bahamas, a member of the UN should had been giving official Courtesy call, Greetings to the Queen's Representative the Governor General?...or visit to the Prime Minister of the Bahamas?,....or even been officially meeting wid da Foreign Affairs Minister?....instead of being all over the islands in the Bahamas nation with Official Inspections and visits to areas of govt direct jurisdiction...??? Last time remember was Bahamians Prime Minister, Queen's Govenor General in charge of the nation and some respect and courtesies extended to Bahamian leaders before UN foreign officials walk around the place.....but then again...pirates came ...drug dealers ..Cuban Warplanes murdering Bahamian Sailors defending Bahamian territory.... terrorizing people on Ragged island...unchecked migrants breaking through borders migrants...Muddo tek sic dred.

Great John, if it's only on the sum of all advertised individual priced of all items added and then the sum total then rounded for customer.

Thanks KapunkleUp. I am trying to get over the groceries stores advertising in the newspapers corn beef at $1.99 and other products using cents knowing that no use of cents means that correctly true advertising means products costs should be rounded ie corn beef at $2.00. All of the more plentiful foodstore products wid some dollar and .99 cents now is 1 cents more expensive. Isn't it ?

Indeed, indeed Tribanon. Where were these accountants where the gov't introduced years ago the minimum $210. dollars weekly 40 hr.?wage, many private employers know it is difficult to be guided by govt. and businesses in good conscience routinely, automatically have to raise it ? Predator banks, land title bundles of titled documents stacks of many old 100 years plus old deteriating fading inks on paper in vaults wid lawyer opinion held by banks representing billions of dollars , Where were these accountants when the gov't brought on the regressive VAT ?.....AND then SECOND dose of additional VAT ? Pushing nation into largest poverty levels...6th most expensive nation in the world... ? Just good marketing to just pop up for optics to have dere connected Accounting companies named in story to do wid impending tax and get free ad.

aghast !!! un delegation with Organization of 50 plus years involvement in Palestine Middle East people and lands yet to have solved, still on daily TV coverage of recent violence and horror and now dey walking, inspecting around Bahamas, former English Colony and now independent peacefully some going on round 50 years now,.... and, and, and with Queen's Governor General Representative and sovereign nation. Weeeell mudda sic.Throw them out for entertaining stirring ups anti govt factions agitating instability against lawful govt and Bahamian peoples and laws of the Bahamian nation.

Minister seems to be on a different bus which can go west and capable of turning an going east. People had given massive swing to previous govt wid some 25 seats which actions or inactions almost wiped them out entirely, and now electorate swing around with massive swing to elections with alternating govt wid whopping 35 seats. Surely, the Minister can't be serious at not having expertise in 35 strong govt. majority in coming up with solutions forward.Unbelievable govt can make nation stop for dealing wid historic Covid Pandemic but he can't alter taxation on a dime.

Fully agree Dawes and C2B. In the long 10 year road an still onwards getting a critical life and death situations children safety system saving and dealing wid wutless criminals abusing children in seconds, minutes,hours, there shouldda been immediate adoptation of what you suggest. Until grand process is done an an immediate blasting to all recipients phone owners by phones and done advertising wid bucket of paint and one sign painter painting message on wooden roadside billboards.

11 year old young child murdered 2011 and now after lots of man hours and money spending and after convicted murderer trying times to get off number of times now is definitely shameful and disgraceful of all the time spent in implementing critical important system to better protect children. How could the Legislators an govt. not have done this any sooner ???

Kudos to da photographer in the back making the extra extra effort to be stooping bending over to have photo taken looking at the camera. Typical, always the working peoples having to carry the loads of the budget on top of them by da well suit and ties politicans.

The common factor the Covid is the shutting down of erryting in country for lenghtyiest times. People locked up un homes, confined for periods, rations of meals, mental stresses, family conflicts, children needs education, elderly, unemployments, increasing grinding poverty, no electricity in house etcetc.

What needs to be happening is the authorities needing to increase the numbers of Social Services with Social Services workers operating from the Urban Renewal Offices to get into the se communities to deal and bring relief to those suffering the most from the effects the Covid pandemic, growing, festering challenges, more people unemployed of categories of workers not living in wealthier neighbourhoods, made worse to people in these communities. Its 'bout time the peoples first, start with the attention to most people at the bottom of the ladder. Increase the experts Social Services, Social Services workers to go into Urban Renewal areas to bring mostest immediate relief.
