You are not serious right?

If the owner is compliant, all the goon squad has to do is check the records at the relevant government offices.

This is intimidation.

But it easy not to see the issue, until they do it to you.

This has nothing to do with enforcement. This is intimidation.

IF the business was not ib compliance why not go to court and shut it down?

Further, the nonsensical response was that they checking for compliance. That is ridiculous. Every government entity has records. All they had to do was check their records.

Since when do we have goon squads with guns going around to check for compliance? This is gestapo tactics.

Absolutely,

You can have teh intimidation unit go into CBS Bahamas with guns, and yet that same unit will never go down Cowpen Road whee they are lined up from just after 6:00 in the morning, everyday.

What make it worst, is that the court and the police station are in the same yard, facing each other.

So are all the foreign consultants not going to be hired anymore?

Guess there is a mixed message between the tongue and teeth.

So a Maritime Task Force for Revenue is on land? And why do they need the police and defense force for revenue collection? Is that their role?

And to make matters worst, this clearly shows the incompetence of the government. Do these people on the taskforce not have these records in their offices? They do not have computers that recorded what businesses turned in what? They have to walk into a business to determine if it is compliant?

This reeks of gestapo style aggression towards businesses.

This is terrible should these alleged facts be proven true.

It would mean that there needs to be serious house cleaning in the Ministry of Finance.

Fred Mitchell is indicative of the backwardness of this country. He is one reason why I would support a term limits bill for MPs. He really need to take his archaic thinking and go

If 64% are private and 19% government, where are the other 17%?

This statement right there is most alarming. All the big talk, but who will fund it? Will taxes be raised on the heads of Bahamians again to fund this?
