At long last the government is getting serious about tackling ipressing ssues, such as this one, that present a clear and immediate danger to the security and prosperity of the people of The Bahamas. If the government had not responded so quickly and forcefully who knows what might have happened, we might have seen people wearing t-shirts with the Bahamas flag or crest on them

Well, goodness gracious, who ever saw this coming? LOL.

The governments of those countries hostile to the democratic nations have had their misinformation departments busy disseminating misinformation on social media for several years now with the goal of discrediting the United Nations as an organization. They have been very successful particularly with the less educated. The United Nations has many flaws however the world is better off with it rather than without. Those who disagree probably have not lost any family members serving in the two world wars, in fact, more probably do not have any family members that served in the armed foeces at all.

Messengerm; Excellent idea.

Not as many hate filled comments as might be expected. Good, perhaps our country is becoming a little more tolerant ,and ,dare I say it , embracing of the Christian values of love for our fellow man, woman and whatever you choose to be.

A brief recap, and corrections to recollections are welcomed. Mr. M. Laroda was appointed to a government position which included responsibility for ensuring that elected members and senior civil servants declared their worth, which findings were then, by law, to be gazette within a specific time frame. This did not happen. It might be seen by some that the appointment to a post as a cabinet minister with the healthy salary and many perks was a reward for not doing his job. It was not, or so I believe, the government just could not find another candidate both willing and able to take on this poison chalice called NIB. Does Mr. Laroda get an additional salary for heading up the fund in addition to his ministerial salary? Probably but we will likely never find out.Do, Again, we will likely never be told. Is Mr. Laroda telling the truth about the state of the NIB fund? Yes of course, that is his job.

K4C, his matter of employers actually remitting NIB deductions has nothing at all to do with the decades of nismanagement of the fund. If an employer did not remit the contributions then the employee cannot get the benefit. Simple.

It seems the Mr. Smith no longer gives himself the title Captain but his pugnacious attitude does not appear to have changed. Instead of accusing the principal officer of telling a damn lie, would it not be less rude to simply say that he did not tell RCI that his project wanted to host up to 1,000 guests per day. In assessing the credibilty of these two men we should recall their past statements as published the print media, one of these statements ended up in court.

What is even more insane than the law that mandates an accused can not be held without trial for more than 3 years, about 1,000 days and nights, locked up in the evil smelling medieval dungeon we used to call Fox Hill Prison, is the elected politicians, their relatives, cronies and assorted hangers on have ,for the past 50 years, spent countless millions of our tax dollars on luxury first class travel and hotels all over the world. Why was this money not used to hire judges and build courts? The blame can lie only with the elected politicians, no one else.
