... buying votes is only necessary when a government has failed to govern properly! It's time for the PLP to pay the piper. Sadly, the FNM isn't much better!
... the government borrows money to update and maintain the power supply, but because there is a short term benefit to a few, the country should have to bear the burden of this vote buying scheme? How shameful and shortsighted!
... sadly, there are those who would consider rewarding such an unprincipled economic leech as Sebas with a seat in Parliament to further exploit the system for his own personal gain. He who uses his money as leverage over politicians elected to represent the best interest of the Bahamian people. It is truly sad to see now easily people can be bought and controlled by those with money!
... this is why the Bahamas will remain a third world country! Grift, corruption and greed will destroy us because people cannot think beyond their immediate self gratification! That is true for politicians and the voting public, and the middle class get to pay the bill in the form of higher taxes!
... my daily interactions with my people makes me wonder why anybody comes to the Bahamas at all! The soft skills that parents used to teach their children are a thing of the past. People want your money, but have little interest in giving service or real value for your money!
... you seem to miss the larger point which is that the government has a **duty** to spend funds from the public purse judiciously, and all contracts should be in the PUBLIC interest; the private sector can do whatever it wants. This is not the kind of flagrant abuse of the public purse that people voted for!
... how does one collect a salary, a pension, housing and responsibility allowances from government without anybody being fired?? And the problem is, both parties do the same thing!!
... public disclosures are not worthless, they continue to prove to voters that politicians are much better at taking care of their own business than doing what they are being paid to do, and that is, taking care of the country's business!
