All dese goings on happening with clear documented persons Haitian nationals on Work Permits, or not on Work Permits or other, being affected in the clear illegal mass constructions and demolitions --- needed to have FIRST follow the protocols of the Haitians Ambassador or Haitian Govr Representatives, their complaints ...addressed to the responsible Bahamian Govt Officials...even though all law abiding Bahamians done know the illegal shantytowns done illegal.

Bahamian Govt would then be then have opportunity to engage in the matters.
NOW that these complainers have brought in officials in the UN to issue statements on behalf of these Haition Work Permit holders, or one Haitian affected, and/or Haitions of varying status and connected relations as group affected...must have the Haitian Ambassador be summonsed to give explanation to the Bahamas Govt and hopefully diffuse this long time going on tensions before it gets worse.

Does anyone recall the Haitian Ambassador or representatives even getting involved and discussions on matter wid the Bahamas, their democratically legal Bahamian govt., the senior Bahamian Ministers, Bahamian public.... before the matter got to the UN ?

Dese culprits deserve to be caught.The first company truck culprit should have known to have not so rounded up number whichin is odd payment doing large (trucking) business dese Covid days r aising suspicions and the second culprit should have known better than to be requesting cash and walking out with out with 80 bundles minimum if luckly to have it all in $100. dollar bills without suspicions. Kudos for the tellers responsible at Bank of the Bahamas for good work and potentials for promotion.

Goodness grief. That's a lot of different free tee-shirts - different sizes, some folded up some unpacked, pom poms, flags, concerts, chicken wings, macaroni a cheesei ferl paper, catchy slogans, plentiful promises, erryone somehow knew ya family, erryone is a servant of the people when elected, posters on top of posters on erry lamp post, walls etcetc. Oh brother.

A more obvious critical issue in this nation vigorously battling the COVID -19 Pandemic crisis is the Protocols and Vaccines in these illegal shantytowns.

Bahamas govt has to regain control of these huge areas of shantytown land with close knit populations whether they are Haitians, Bahamians, wid or widdout Papers. These areas which Bahamas govt never seem to have legally controlled, Police cars cant even go into the narrow paths, ambulances cont go into the area, no firetruck. Govt seems to lost ability to obtain Govt Taxes for Business Licence business shops etc. No Health controls, no controls pigs, animals for human consumption, Govt no honey truck to empty cesspits etc Census unlikely to include amounts of criminals escaped periodically from Haiti prison escapes and thr list of govt failures to regulate these land masses for decades. Bahamas govt needs to have testicular fortitude to regain control of these large areas which they have lost control of Bahamas govt laws and regulations for decaeds. Full bettering of Bahamas nation must be regulated control of all populated geographic areas of the Bahamas.

Covid -19 needs govt to regain control all shantytowns populated areas while massive Bahamas govt efforts are in place for the rest of the nation.

@realitycheck242. Thank you.

The conversation with the UN officials and the Bahamas should begin with a memorial service in the public Graveyard where there was the mass burial of the 55 unindentified persons died in the Hurricane and with great dignity buried by the Bahamas govt. The UN officials should be seated in the front seats and the service include recounts of Govt and brave persons with assistance of cadaver trained dogs recovering bodies in various of decomposition, trapped from under the acres of shantytown timbered rubble flattened like a pancake.

Added to retelling at the Memorial Service in cemetary by local Pastors of hurricane destroyed shanty town occupants survivors, dere must also be in telling of the sad demise of 55 unindentified persons, must also include the some 36 persons and more unknown numbers of human souls who seems to have just swept away into sea and bodies still remain missing. May the souls who have passed away in the Hurricane shantytown destruction rest in peace.

These egegious blunders repeatedly happening wid detained persons walking about and kept fer years an years in this enclosed facility by clearly identified staffed departments of taxpayers paying their monthly salaries, to be doing this wrong. Salaried govt people must be singled out and held responsible. They can't be getting a salaried paycheck to be doing this and the taxpaying public being stick to their incompetance causing the $10, 000, 000. bill.

This fine of some $10,000,000. (ten million dollars) to come out of the same already stressed known twice hit by vat regressive taxpaying public, is ALSO inhuman punishment to the taxpaying public. Public cannot be paying twice for this and suffering from hospital beds shortages etc, cant be bought if money gone that way. Why should peoples chillren education education some10,000,000. gone that other way, why salary increases even overtime money owed to govt nurses etc,. This definitely ain't the peoples time to be stick with this bill an the done govt salaried workers ain't be held accountable and continue getting a taxpayer monthly salary.

Bey, seems erry single year going way back, year after year after year, there are significant numbers of cases of customers eating conch and getting sick eating ...and the cause always seem to blame the weather...blame the weather...blame the weather. The solution seems obvious is to get the message out an dont go there an eat conch during the similar forecasted weather conditions. If ya defy the known warnings, then suffer the consequences an no more bellyache an annual watery diarrehoea stories some victims seeme to regale broadcasting all over the place.

Someting fishy. The govt just creating special subsidised land price Subdivision by Skyline area for professional workers to be able to buy land. If professionals couldn't do the same savings, then how come the other workers be saving money?

Truly a very important day for all. This event needs to have the excellent Bahamian artist Kishan Munroe's UK Award winning paintings of the Flamingo and fallen marines, be arranged to be on public display. RIP our bave heroes fallen in action and will be remembered forever in the Bahamas.
