If the government takes action to follow these recommendations it could significantly impact in a negative way the income of corrupt civil servants. It would also be good to have cameras in all parts of the police stations and detention centres to slow down the degree of physical abuse routinely inflicted by police and immigration officers.
Damien is such a comedian, he provided my laugh for today. And I love the way he keeps a straight face when he pontificates upon these corruption issues.
I must assume that you have never been diving at night in 50ft depth of water. Your cheap flashlights would almost certainly leak at 3 atmospheres pressure. I have dove in this area several times and there can be a 5 knot current running. It would be very easy to get into trouble with a rushed unplanned dive. I am sorry for the loss of life but the family is not acting right by trying to blame the RBDF, they acted correctly and nothing that they could have done differently would have changed the situation. And I am not a person who is used to defending the actions of this military organization which has such a shameful history.
The men who went off to war are more deserving of the National Heroes Award than any of the self-serving politicians or clergy that actually got them "No greater love hath any man but that he should lay down his life for his friends" Dulce et decorum est pro patria et more.
Well done, Fred Smith, a victory for human rights and decency. Bigotry should not be acceptable in modern Bahamas but it would appear that some of my fellow posters disagree.
I suspect that the Governments thinking is that they will no longer have to extend private health insurance to the thousands of government workers that are now receiving it. The unions will object, of course. The larger and more profitable companies and financial institutions will keep the private insurance for employees. Who would willingly go to PMH is the choice of US hospital care was an option.
Hey, MadHater, I tink I just saw that vat money, it was heading for a bottomless pit called Government Workers unfunded Pension Liability which is situated right next to The bank of The Bahamas..
My doctor recommended that I stop reading or listening to Bodie's self-serving letters and broadcasts after I was diagnosed with terminal boredom several years ago. Now if he could write in rhyming couplets...………………..
