Local government can only work effectively if the District Council has the authority to withhold at least 50% of the government taxes raised OR raise revenue themselves through designated means ..... and local government has to be placed in the Constitution as the third level of executive power .... Cabinet ... Ministry .... L.Govt .......... until that is done, the system is only used as a political pawn
It is so sad but Mother Pratt already sell her soul to the Perry Christie-led PLP for a bowl of UR 2.0 porridge ........... people actually had some respect for her despite her religious looniness and ghetto appeal ........ but that has been wasted on Perry
Gomez cannot help himself ............. he got run out of Barbados for the same reason ....... he is like the old fella Caiphas in the Sanhedrin who put Jesus to death in times gone by ...... old meddler ....... I dont know which group of Anglicans he is speaking for ........ maybe St. Agnes over 60??????
I agree with RFT and Economist .......................... the Speaker should really retract his decision on the PAC ............. since the PLP is going to get rid of him anyway
The DNA has lost its pizzazz thanks to the one-man-band approach of Bran ...... he should have had a post -2012 election review and possible leadership overhaul ........... then he would not have been dogged with the label that the DNA has now ......... its unfortunate, but the DNA as a viable option has lost its best chance to attract big hitters like disaffected PLP or FNM MPs.
Why should he resign???? He is not obligated to resign by the Constitution of The Bahamas.
Now he has to revert to his representation of the citizens of this country who support his views and are disillusioned with the PLP who came to power in 2012 on the promises of the Charter for Governance ........... In the same way that Doc Rollins (and Moss) has lost faith in the PLP 2012 promises ............. many who voted for the PLP have lost faith in the party ....... Doc Rollins is just a microcosm of the country and reflects the true spirirt of democracy ........ if you read the Constitution, it NEVER refers to MPs being duty bound to represent a party ...... there is NO reference to election of MPs as members of parties ......... this is a creature of convenience to control power and usurp the true spirit of democracy and creating this kleptocracy that we experience today....................... that is why we need to tear up the Constitution and begin to build a more modern and inclusive democracy in our country......... that is what the 2017 election should be about
Fully agree with BCA and Wells ................ but can you reasonably expect Brave to be the Cabinet Minister that will bring a Bill that will stifle his PLP cronies from getting job freebies???
Highly unlikely without some serious lobbying from concerned groups and Opposition
