... not sure why Bahamians celebrate "Independence". Wealthy foreigners and Haitians have been greater beneficiaries of what this country has to offer than Bahamians. Successive governments have mismanaged the economy! The national debt enslaves us to other countries and we have morally, spiritually and economically slipped near to a point of no return, and yet people want to celebrate independence?? Bahamians are as simple as our early Arawak inhabitants, and it is only a matter of time before we become co-partners in their fate!
"*Mr Rolle appealed the decision, arguing that the punishment was too harsh. He admitted that his handling of the matters fell short of professional standards but insisted that disbarment was excessive.*"
... so he not only wants to commit the crime, but determine the punishment as well? He should be in jail!!
... this criminal believes self service is national service! And the PLP rewarded him for that twisted thinking! If there was to be a lottery in the Bahamas, it should not have been handed to five guys who broke the law and had their records expunged! Bahamians getting goosied again!
... Minnis is a narcissistic wrecking ball! People forget how many died from dengue under his Minister of Health tenure, and many more died from covid than should have if his policies didn't cause large crowds from panic shopping, multiple times. He is a certified more-on!
... this country needs term limits for politicians, including the PM! Two terms and no more and no pension! Politics should be a form of national service, not a career, or a lifetime opportunity to suckle at the teat of the public treasury!
... Dorian did not remove enough of the rogue, squatting immigrants there! There was a time I would go to Abaco every year and now I may never go again, because of how things have changed!
... visionless governance by self serving buffoons who accrue debt to maintain power is not a good strategy for national development! Couple that with allowing a large amount of poor, uneducated immigrants to further strain government infrastructure and you have a recipe for disaster. Independence was a failed experiment! Our people lacked the maturity that self sufficiency required and now we are paying for it. The Bahamas is a third world nation, saddled with debt, high crime, a population with an entitlement mindset and no real vision for the future. Sadly, this was 100% avoidable!
