How the hell can they dig themselves out of this quagmire? The house of cards is going to come tumbling down.
Flamingoman has a good idea, Britain should maybe take over for a few years (NOT forever) and sort the country out, get it off the brink of being a failed state and clean up the corruption.
This could be the best country on earth, if only it was managed correctly.
rule of law noun 1. the principle that all people and institutions are subject to and accountable to law that is fairly applied and enforced; the principle of government by law.
This whole thing is unpatriotic, I can understand how they can get away with bringing 500 five hundred Chinese builders (And after they screwed up the last job!!??) whilst there are so many unemployed Bahamian contractors doing nothing.
And the contractors who never got paid from Baha Mar must be livid.
The same thing that happened to Baha Mar could happen to the Point.
Again we have more Chinese workers than Bahamians and we have massive unemployment. Why are the unpaid Bahamian contractors and investors from Baha Mar allowing this to happen? This is the definition of insanity!!!!??? As Albert Einstein said, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”
The people blocking the Bridge had the right idea, they got together and agitated and received what they wanted, the access to the beach was reinstated! (For now) so I guess the Bahamas is still a democracy where the people's wishes and a disorganized but peaceful (ish) protest can actually work!
There were allegations of arbitrary arrests and abuses against migrants. Deaths in custody were reported. Impunity for allegations of police abuses remained the norm.
Why do you think the Chinese embassy looks like a bunker? And they just loaded the government up with Anti Riot gear for christ sake! You can't hold a gathering anymore without government approval, and the government is proposing 'lockdowns' (AKA the first step to Martial law?) so no marching anywhere.
Besides, this is all mute, the average Bahamian is too Fat, Lazy & Broke to bother marching. All we seem to really care about is a free t-shirt and carnival.
And the Chinese / Government know it........ True or False?
Gray is a Minister, representing a government department, IF he knows of ANY impropriety be it FNM or PLP, he has a Duty to the nation to 'let the cat's' out of the bag. Let the Rule Of Law run its course. Otherwise his insinuations are baseless, whatever the scenario it's not a good portrayal of his character and moreover outwardly unpatriotic.
This cronyism has to stop, they're picking away at every department and bit by bit destroying this beautiful nation from the inside out, it is Unforgivable they must start prosecuting the thieves that steal from the nation's finances.
