The emergency powers act was a law that Minnis made up that entitles Minnis to make up new laws whenever he feels like it - without having to consult with the constitution nor any legally trained professional (such as the AG) Lockdowns and curfew; yes church service - no church service; no outdoor dining on Sundays; can't go to the beach; can't travel from one island to another.....all of a sudden punishable by fine or incarceration. Not even the AG could keep up with all of the new laws and variations and backflips because they literally change daily ..............and in the meantime, the Minnis Government has racked up billions of dollars in debt and not had to justify a single dollar of it. So why the big bust up in parliment and now what the AG is now saying (threatening) to Brave is that we are not allowed to talk about the finances. They got us all freaking out about the Wuhan Flu - ratting each other out for not wearing masks and having parties but when someone asks where all the billions are going, you are supposed to shut-ya-mouth. That is what this story is really about - our new totalitarian master is telling the opposition party that he will lock them up for making noise

I wonder if our local health expert knit-wits got the message.

Our entire state of emergency, lockdowns and the devastation of our tourist economy has been based on PCR testing and the WHO has just come out and admitted that the high cycle rate PCR testing they originally recommended is far too sensitive and is causing an unacceptably high number of false positives. The above link translated into working man's terms = doctors should use their own common sense and personal observations to determine whether a person is actually showing symptoms of the damn coronavirus before they classify that person as an active 'case' ! When is the madness going to end ????

Are you speculating that there could be a recession ???

This FNM regime is going to go down as the biggest betrayal of the Bahamian Peoples in history. Our elected representatives have mindlessly fallen in line with the globalist oligarch's takeover of the world, using fear and corruption to destroy our way of life, so that they can 'reset' the world in whatever manner they see fit. This pandemic is a mass media event only. I dont know anyone that even knows anyone that has died of covid yet this tyrant still thinks it's OK to tell us if we can move around, or do our jobs, or spend time with our loved ones. You are a Monster Mr Minnis and all you other so-called leaders, hiding behind this maniac, lining your pockets whilst the wider population gets fed to the wolves, are no better.

"WE" are letting our guards down ??? On 20th January the WHO publicly admitted that the entire testing regime that has been in place since last March as the "gold standard" of testing....is wrong. The high cycle PCR testing has now been deemed to produce an unacceptably large amount of 'false positives'. It is now a scientific fact that the ratio of false positives is consistent with what the medical community has been telling us is the overall ratio of 'cases' per people tested, which is why the case rate has gone up with more testing, whilst the death rate has declined. That is why there is zero correlation between cases and deaths !! So the entire justification for this 'man of science' to give himself unquestionable power and choose barbaric lockdowns as the only solution to the problem was based on 'false positive's . So Minnis has ruined the economy based on bad science and now WE are letting our guard down.......The only way this man is ever going to stay PM after the end of this term is by making his emergency powers permanent ...aka totalitarian dictator.

Bahamas ?? After-Parts ?? What on earth have you got to be so high almighty about ?? They are coming for all of us....

Yep - The CC/US Democratic Party will not be satisfied until the house is burnt down and we are on our knees begging for table scraps

"It is still expected therefore that the economy will exit the pandemic with less reserves than at the start of it," Mr Rolle said.

I wonder how much this man gets paid to tell us this ?? When our economy was firing on all cylinders in 2018 and 2019, the government still had to borrow money to maintain our foreign reserves. Now the car has four flat tires and almost out of gas and he's telling us "The currency is not at such imminent risk"

But hey, so long as they keep printing hundreds of millions and borrowing the next billion and everyone is happy to keep ruining the economy rather than face up to a pesky virus....it is what it is....

It is extremely important for every single person in this country to understand that In the USA, the Federal Government assumes full responsibility for any undue harm caused by taking FDA approved vaccines. The pharmaceutical manufacturer's clearly state on their warning labels the potential risks AND that they are not responsible for any side effects.... including but not limited to severe alergic reactions and possible death caused by taking the vaccine......AND that medium and long-term studies of other potential side effects are still ongoing AND that the vaccines are still not technically approved by the FDA....SO the first thing that this Bahamian Government needs to do is clarify WHO is going to be responsible for side effects caused by a wildly new and underresearched vaccine ??

Exactly. A politician saying the word "trust" is the kiss of death.....
