Actually not true. In year one I may be making $100/week. By year 20 I may be making $500/week. If I allow it to accrue and take it all in year 20, then I'm getting 40 weeks at $500 per week versus the lesser sum I would have received in year 1. The officers are smarter than the government. Their take-home pay is greater for having waited. I can see Mr. Dames' point. It has to stop.
Isn't this a repeat of what he said after the PLP lost the last general election?
Technically it sounds true on paper but we know how this goes. He stays in the background for Board appointments and big fat contracts like Valentine Grimes and Darrel Rolle.
Let put this way. For the cronies, politics NEVER ends.
Know your history. The BCC did try to stop it. In fact they spearheaded a "Vote No" campaign which was led by the late Dr. Myles Munroe, when the it was initially proposed by referendum (later dubbed "an opinion poll) to legalise it. They celebrated when it was defeated, but needless to say, that was short-lived as the PLP went ahead and legalized it anyway.
The question really is how did the thousands that are illegally living here get here undetected. This is just ONE boatload that was about to land undetected had it not hit a coral reef and sank. Let that sink in for a moment.
Only in the Bahamas does a politician get kickbacks from a contract, steals from the Govertment and then turns around and sues the Government to get even more money.
