Mr. Fredrick smith you are nothing but a traitor to the Bahama land. Bahamians whether you like him or not a true believer of this Bahama land, a hero to me, said, and I quote, Bahamas, Bahamians, if you are not ready to ***fight*** for your ***Bahama Land*** you don't ***deserve to have it*.** Mr. Smith should be cited for trying to cause tension between the people. Right is right. Wrong is wrong, if someone arrives here with only their shirts on their backs then why cant they leave the same way?
Yes, this waste of time bill is very shitty, and so is this government who works for the privilege, like the PM stated he would have to be re-elected to work for us poor people, so I guess we the people should not be surprised.
No matter your cry illegal is illegal, and if you feel you should be allowed to squat illegally then find somewhere else to do it, say like in another country.
When the slumlords charge up to $150.00 per week for rent ( $600 p.m ) and this is sometimes without indoor plumbing, the only food most person can afford is garbage because healthy food is priced beyond their reach, to say the least, I think at least 2/3 of the workforce salaries fall below the $2500. mark so that can tell that we may look like we living large when in fact 2/3 are catching hell and will have a hard time accumulating any kind of security or wealth legally.
Areas like over the hill Bainstown, the grove, Centerville .eg. should be the closest we ever get to having a shanty town, Mr Minister of works for once at least on this you are right, either we want to end up like Haiti full of shanty towns at every turn with no law or order for the building code, the emergence of a city within a city, a shantytown is a town within itself, had we older Bahamians made the decision when Loftus Roker asked the same question as Mr Bannister we would not be in this situation today or at least have better control. Bahamians are made to pay for land and construction. Bahamas, Bahamians, if shantytowns are allowed as the UN and other outsiders would like to see happen and have sanctioned, there will be a Tsunami of illegals because they would have a place to live and hide, and in 20yrs the Bahamas and Bahamians would be unrecognizable, we are in this predicament now because we allowed shantytowns to grow then. I am not able to smuggle in and set up a house, shop in someone else's country. Mr. Minister of work if this is your job please do it and do it quickly. Looking at completed and uncompleted homes in the Farm area, the appliances, generators, etc. if they can find the money for building materials, generators, applianceses, they can find the money for an apartment or some suitable living condition like the rest of us has to. Over 28m was sent out from the Bahamas to Haiti by their countrymen in 2019.
The UN should explain their disastrous presence in Haiti and why they pulled out. Mind your own business you don't live here and you don't care, the only thing these organizations care about is their own agenda, and if one of their agendas aligns with someone else's then lucky them.
