I cannot help but wonder: "Has this man ever done a real hard days work? Swinging a pick to dig a hole in August,, nailing shingles on a roof in July? Or has he spent his life in AC as a Union boss that he parlayed into a do-nothing well paid government job, earning a large salary that is paid for by our tax money? I do not know, does anyone else commentating know? If I had his job I wouldn't want to retire either.......sigh
Hi, Gotspeed, that would make sense; otherwise we have an economist whose whole life's work is in figure, who does not understand figures; or we have a reporter, whose whole life's work is on words, who does not understand words.
Prof. Pinder is reported to have said; "New Providence had approximately 105 people per square mile,". Now working with very approximate figures; an island 21 miles by 7 miles' 21X7= 147 sq. miles. (actual land area reported at 80 sq. . miles)Working. for simplicity with the 147 X 105 = 15,000. Surely no believes the population of New Providence is only 15,000...? Sigh
This is fair enough but the Rastafari also perhaps should thank the king on behalf of the thousands of Bahamians descended from enslaved people rescued from the slave carrying ships by the Royal Navy and subsequently settled in New Providence; think Adelaide and others.
The Christie government received several thousand tear gas grenades from the Chinese government for crowd control. These grenades would have come with a grenade launcher. Perhaps someone needs to check the inventory and see if anything is missing; there may be yet anothwr bad apple in the barrel.....sigh.
The years of relative peace may be over; Ukraine, Iran. & Venezuela all indicate that anew reality is facing this country. We have enjoyed are years of plenty, and mostly squandered the riches thereof, now come the years of famine. Best learn how to fish and grow corn again.
It would be instructive to be told by this AG exactly which law or laws have been broken? Obviously no one will expect this question to actually be answered as the sole purpose is to create distraction from the missing millions......sigh.
Convicted narcotics trafficker revealed in his autobiography that he paid PLP leader Linden Pindling $150,000 cash each month to be allowed to smuggle cocaine to the USA. The Bahamian electorate did not care at all and voted to keep in power for over 25 years. PLP politicians'' corruption is nothing new, and the USA State Department knows it....Sigh.
