Why not use up some more of the National Insurance money that is supposed to be invested for future pension pay-outs, like happened under the PLP Christie administration. The Tribune ran a story on it at the time with the senior NIB official taking credit for spending the money held in trust on buying 4 ambulances for the PHA. it was shameful.
I thought the language he used in his radio interview was a little coarse perhaps even undignified. There is a big difference between fiscal incompetence and criminality.
Thank you, Dr. Bethel for your courage to express your considered opinions. You must have anticipated the reaction from many of our fellow citizens for whom nationalism is a wonderfully positive attribute intricately tied with the policies of the early plp which supposedly led the "true" Bahamians to the land of milk and honey. Political and religious beliefs are notoriously blind to the appeal of reason. The Wehrmacht Republic was made up of millions of citizens convinced that nationalism was the answer to their nations problems. A belief that persisted right up to the outskirts of Stalingrad where the magnitude of the lass of human lives could no longer be ignored. Obviously our country operates on a vastly different scale but your warning is both timely and pertinent.

Hey sick. Murder rate per 100,000 in 2016 for the Bahamas is 28.6, murder rate in the UK is 1.2. You cannot compare these countries in a meaningful way. Also most of the knife crime takes place in London which coincidentally is known as the 3rd largest Caribbean country because of its large number of immigrants from the Caribbean. (not typically the Bahamas though.)
Hey mudda, your comment would be so much funnier if it was not so true. Another sad in Paradise for us all but most especially for this young man. it is a good thing that we have a free and relatively fearless media to report these incidents of state sponsored abuse.
