Right there is why you do not give any civil servants a choice. ALL should be moved to the plan.

Uncle Tom. Take your head out of the cloud.

This Bahamian who LIVES in Grand Bahama, has made money.

Since you believe the government is so good at Grand Bahama, why don't you leave your Nassau comfort zone and you move there and live in West End or East End. Or Eight Mile Rock. and then see how great the government is at providing services for you.

Precisely.

Guess he is having early stages of Alzheimers.

But that is what dictators do. They believe the public should not only do and know what they are told. Neve question.

Exactly,

These dudes forget that in public service it is the business of the public.

That is why this dude is not for the Freedom of Information Act.

2026 cannot come soon enough. Time for them to go permanently.

Have you seen the difference between Freeport and West End run by the government?

Have you seen the difference between Freeport and East End run by the government?

That would tell you what Freeport would be if run by the government.
And tit would tell you what Grand Bahama would be if the government gets out.

We all know that this is a joke. How many of those who did not disclose last year received their penalty.

So the law says one date, and they make up their own date. And we wonder why the streets have no respect for law and order, when those in government don't.

Wasn't Glenys leading this ministry at one time and said the same thing?

I wish these ministers would just do their job and stop the pr talking.

When the system is modernize then come say something. Otherwise, just wishful thinking .

At least the 1.7 visitors to Botswana are not made up of cruise passengers. They actually land in the country.

Unlike our 9 million, which probably included the over 50% of cruise visitors who never get off the ship.

Letter writer is spot on. Davis' trips are a complete waste of money. Though if you listen to Davis, he would tell you it netted Kamala Harris visiting The Bahamas.

Why does Botswana need The Bahamas to demand countries meet them on their terms?

How does that happen?

Davis is full on words, and short on explanations.
