Pretending otherwise with smoke and mirrors, and by displaying pricetags that are mystifyingly lower than what you are asked for at the cash register, serves no useful purpose to any consumer.
Your views could be considered illegitimate and equally worthy of keeping private.
Congratulations to the parents on your new bundles of joy, and best wishes to the children for a bright and happy Bahamian future. Disregard the antiquated and the judgemental, ignore the nasty cynics, the self righteous busybodies and the haters of this world. Stand tall, have heart, and walk proud as free, equal and entirely legitimate members of our society.
And what say ACFE Bahamas Chapter on freedom of information and fiscal responsibility laws? Transparency and accountability: cornerstones too in any fight against fraud.
The Archbishop is to be congratulated - so too the editorial staff and news reporters at The Tribune and from across the media spectrum - for continuing to raise issues of transparency, public accountability, fiscal responsibility and freedom of information. These are matters of public policy not politics. And yes, there is a difference.
No one is saying you need to inspect them. Just name them, seeing as you raise them. Otherwise what's the point of making mysterious comments. The standard we walk past is the standard we accept. If no-one in the community is willing to present facts and to challenge wrongdoing then why should we expect our politicians to be any better?
Easy to find out. Just name the two businesses here. There is nothing defamatory about making factual statements to identify a business that is not registered for VAT and did not charge you VAT, provided you don't make false statements or presumptions as to why. Just name them and I am sure a roving Tribune reporter and a VAT compliance officer (and, if the business has clear political ties, perhaps an Opposition researcher), will look into it. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
