Use the $2.5m to renovate the vacant govt buildings and move the offices to them. Also consider getting into private partnerships to acquire office space and or combinations plan to save and invest to cut present rent for Tourism offices.

Working on the image needs more than just that.

Erryone on dis 7X21 island done know is like painting an old car don't change it and paint just cover up the rust and rotten car.

What is needed is more efficiencies and better response to reports or complaints by public to crime. More quickness in being at road traffic accidents that cost nation waste man hours in delayed traffic trying to get to .work.
More patrols efffective actions, investigations in urban areas where gangs seem to operate affecting residents.
More money rewards for persons reporting crime tips. More investigations reported that stop crime rather than Police and Morgue vehicle at crime scene afterwards. More stopping heavily black out tinted glass windows on vehicles seems transporting full car load of men to crime scenes getting out and gunning down victims. More active monitoring of camera surveillance on lampposts, more psychological etc testing, of applicants and enlisted and on and on

The nation was under laws to keep hundreds of persons at home to minimize transferral and spreading of this Covid 19 virus which does not yet have vaccine. Thousands of Bahamians who are self employed depriving themselves, great efforts to follow the rules. Vendors who were in the streets and sides of streets followed the law.

At the time knowing the transferring of the Covid 19 virus this young man in this business chapping open cocunut water, pouring water into containers for consumption to each car occupant(s), changing money transferring money, transactions from one car to another......likely dealing with the only authorized workers travelling in cars and are likely First Line Workers being tempted for buying coconut water and jelly preparations and being in front of customers likely First Line Workers. Time for him to join the offenders caught smoking joint and serving penalty breaking law and doing term in prison and join the back of line.

Surprised and shocked he was being aided by young political youngsters who seems to have gone contra against senior Executies of same political group implemted law and with best at the time to stop or minimize deaths caused in the nation.

On the audacity of having to 'Quash Cocunut Conviction' should not be aided especially when hundreds of young men are in Jail convicted for smoking small ganga who did not endanger others lives versus his illegal actions endangered lives of authorized workers on road travelling and likely First Line Workers doing their super human jobs trying to assist and save other lives.

Go to the head of the class SP.

The syndicates of course do not have or establish the basic mechanisms, channels to expose and reveal and correct the systematic injustices, corruption some $200m to $500m annually. Nation has progressed to somewhere costly to live in, 8th most expensive country in the world, nation accelerating with the largest increasing gap between rich and poor. Huge differences prices from goods just over the border. Punishing regressive VAT known effect on nation and critics in other party turning around and doing the same infliction on people. Lots of poor people in jail but seems no investigations into white collar crimes. Show investigations or just no investigations that likely implicate friends, family, cohorts, cronies. Sad.

Thankful that many tens of thousands of Bahamians have channels and known better way of life by high education skills, also, commonly to have mothers give birth to babies abroad and gain more opportunities and abilities for freedoms for change and better lives. Shameful those in positions to have nation change yet fails automatically every 5 yeats falling victim not of being reelected but voters repeatedly voting them out. Some last 25 years every govt failed every 5 years. Sad.

Investigations into agency D and G. Amounts of money some $68m.($68,000,000.00)

So what about full investigations ......agency A.... like the Agrigulture in govt like the former Chairman and head of Bamsi and former Ministry of Agriculture vast experience in pointed out series of missing cheques some previous forensic investigations seems to have been done but .....agency B....like the Bank of the Bahamas with a former Chairman of Resolve and well experience as a Governor of the Central Bank of the Bahamas revealing revealed major news coverage stories both daily newspapers... that $100m was paid for loans collaterals values only some $22.5m some differance of some $77.5m ($77,500,000.00) fullest investigations into all areas.....agency C.....like in the Chinese agencies involved in Bahamian assets tied up with and in Billion dollars Bah Mar hotel investment with Sarkis. So what investigations how this billion dollar investment went bankrupt and Bahamian assets involved. on and on

Standing behind podium wid sign "Competent Compassionate leadership for all" just shows that they are being truthful they are advertising the current Prime Minister because the current PM should have way by now have this lot, cronies, cohorts all this time under seripus investigations for bad governance, corruption, victimizations, taking taxpayers money and funnelling it into blatant money losing govt agencies, govt majority owned, controlled enterprises, having political cronies in charge of agencies with currupt practices. They should not be talking "Leadership for All" themselves with short memorywhen the nation by democratic facility voted NO to Web shop number houses Gambling and they some 25 persons Members of Parliament voted against democratic nations voters....and the list of " all for me" ..can go on. Indeed their sign on podium just illustrates the uncanny unexpected softness the present PM is dealing with them and the hundreds of millions of taxpayers dollars done gone, unquestioned and mishandled under regime this present Opposition governed previous govt.

While it may have allegedly been stuck in the 70's ....some 50 years ago, there must be concerns on the 50 years now of the rising temps...more hurricanes happening within hours...more fiercer hurricanes...Category 5 hurricanes and hovering for days roughly same spot. So what are the controls to stop any pollution, spills etc. to any damages to Bahamas, Cuba, Florida Cays, getting into ocean stream going up US coast?

...and some dont have to walk in because they have been there for decades done outworn the leather seats, certainly well established friends both sides.

So what happened to all the evidence "for selling coconuts....", ie containers, coconuts, proceeds etc ....???

......seems to be using digits....as in fingers ....to do honest work instead of seems past administrations policy of ...hands being in the cookie jar.
