After that then there will be lawyers who will clain conflicts of interest on taking on the matter. Lawyers do not take on the Banks because banks have customers engage their services and paying them some 2 1/2% of the banks mortgage fees. See the play.

mr. roberts ...it aint ....the ban on the plastic bags causing your problem......
its the ...govt.and dere....associates......not banning...poverty....ripped up social fabric...lack of education....unemployment...desperation..one in eight bahamians dont know where the next meal coming from....lack of laws...christian broughtupsy.....and related issues...and kleptomaniacs.
Bahamas is the documented sixth most expensive country .....in the world..after countries like Switzerland, Norway, Ireland.......Bahamas has also the widening difference gap between rich and poor. Previous govts wasting money, govt applying regressive VAT fully knowing the consequences....and next govt adding more of VAT...even knowing even more of what is going to happen..
Partial solution for Mr. Roberts is to talk to his govt associated it aint gon get better....and immediately stop watching the wrong cameras in his stores his employees ...sexing in the cooler and doing the 'back shot' sexing.....and try looking... more at the cameras above each store cashier location..an not low blouses women cleaveges also...!!!!!!!!
Seems to be that there were ....dozens....hundreds.....of Bahamians employed by the previous govt that were made redundant...under the pretext of accusing previous govt of hiring, all combinations, pumping up supporters for then upcoming elections.....seems every new incoming elected political party has to do this and terminate employees so the new incoming party can hire their own party supporters....on and on and on....
All these Govt Employment Job Contracts...contracts terminated persons lives and dependants lives....little children....elderly parents...handicapped dependents.... disrupted pushed into destitution. If Govt wants to do it...then do it the right way....and bahamians needed to be treated the HUMANE way also.
Better option and less expensive to taxpayers is to lock up pitbulls in cage until they are hungry and then throw the owner in and dogs desire to survive will eat him....and then if owner not eaten and saved then some other channel followed.
Dr. Sands has to first fire buildings maintenance personnel for not dealing with maintenance which is routine in fixing small projects becoming disasters.
Sad position where baseball stadium found taxpayers money starting from around 19 million dollars and now continuing towards 50 million taxpayers dollars and rest of govt needs office space to serve people. Only best thing now money spending is for population themselves to baseball stadium for seating, more parking, better toilets for political rallys from r m bailey park up the road. Money spending for Baseball Stadium repairs, finishing, continuing while rest of govt offices, schools, hospital offices, Courts, falling apart.
You have hit a Critical situation facing the nation with the storms coming together. ...One well known is the suggary drinks contributing to the many top illnesses.plaguing nation....next is the diabetics affecting younger generation which is the largest grouping of population, the future of the nation.....next is the underfunding of medical facilities of Bahamas Diabetic Association.
Dr. Sands has already curtailed the suggary drinks for more healthier drinks in vending machines in Govt Medical hospital and kudos to his proactive action.
All resources schools, governance, taxes spent invested ...in building growing population MUST have lives saved... to be productine for growth and future of the nation.
