Was pointing out that his contribution to the debate in parliament was probably the most sensible and realistic and speaking what the people are feeling out of all of them. And he did it without reading from a prepared script like all the others. It showed he had a heart and interlined what he was saying. So giving him props!!!! The rest could learn from him!
Bahamians come home, quarantine 14 days. Tourists come to Bahamas, no 14 days quarantine. Bahamians come home, produce negative test. Tourists come to Bahamas, we still deciding it they should have to produce test. How much longer do I have to be treated like a second class citizen in my own country? Guess majority rule has produced crap and changed nothing!
This so so simple and sensible that it is mind boggling why governments don't introduce this. Apart from the financial services aspects that clearly is no longer working for us, the rest needs to be implemented. The so called Economic Recovery Committee needs to simply submit this plan. there world would be done.
Tribune, please forward this to the office of the prime minister. This is what we need to focus on in recovery!!!!!!!
No way you can have one set of rules for Bahamians and another for tourists! The blatant discrimination needs to stop. If you don't want to quarantine tourists for 14 days, then you need to stop the quarantine of Bahamians for 14 days. If you don't want tourists to produce a negative test, then you cannot require Bahamians to produce one. It is times that Bahamians are stopped being made to be second class citizens in there own country just for a couple of dollars.
How do you have a controlled segment with boaters and yachters who can enter anywhere in the Bahamas without detection or registration at a port?
Then how do you require Bahamians returning back home to have a test, but you have yet to determine whether visitors will have to produce a test? Hen will Bahamians stoped being discriminated in their won country? If you require a Bahamian to show a test, you better darn well require a tourist to have one. We need to stop being willing to sell out our own to tourists for a couple cents.
Then how the hell the Tourism Director General all over the place talking about the bookings look good, but them when pressed on numbers cannot give any? Are you serious? IF you claiming people want to come, the least I think you should have is the figures to prove your claim!
I am wondering when the House of Assembly will enforce the rule of persons making contributions having to speak without prepared speeches. maybe Brent needs to have a course to teach them.
Beyond that the lockdown is not an issue, as I have parents in the vulnerable category and I want to make sure that they are safe before people come moving up around them.
Libraries are crucial in our Bahamas, especially for those without access to the internet. The sad reality is that nowhere in the Bahamas can you find a sensible library. Even the so called library at UB needs to be upgraded. Util we have sensible libraries in this country that can access the WORLD Cat from other libraries around the world to be able to access any book you want to read, we are disenfranchising our people. Hopefully the Grand Bahamas library will get a 21st century upgrade.
I'm sick of the stupidity of people with the notion that the government should do more skills training and job training. Clearly Bodie has lost his head. Would it not be better for the educational system to be fixed, so that people leave high school with the ability to have the basic requisite skills, and then have it refined with the ability to enter college (with the free tuition)?
Talking about the government doing job training after high school is just throwing good money after bad money. It doesn't not solve the problem.
But then again when Bodie head is so far up the behind of Davis shouldn't expect any better.
