This guy has no reason to resign unless he is convicted. Since when does someone being charge equate to being guilty. Maybe Munroe Davis need to go back into the PLP pass and see how sitting MPs from their own party were charged and never resigned. They all waited for the matter to be played out in a court of law.
So the government wants to put nothing into the exploration, but wants to takes the majority financial share of what is found? Typical government. Just want to do nothing, and take from people who are doing something.
What business person would pay all the cost to recover "treasure" and then gladly give the lion's share of the profit to someone who did nothing?
This is a shake down. Just operating like the mafia. Highway robbery. But then again this is just how the government operates with just taxing the hell out of the Bahamian society anyway, and boasting about how much VAT they are getting.
Amazing how they do not tell you how they raised the rates on many VAT free items that many people purchase more of?
It is despicable when these people speak and only give part of the picture.
Yet, if they cared about people and were raking in so much VAT, could they not give the people a VAT holiday with this inflation getting out of control.
Just when you think the HOA Speaker could not get any worst. She males the previous speaker look intelligent. Are we going to have another 4 years of this speaker who truly has shown she lacks the qualifications for this position?
She rants and raves about a civil servant not moving at her beck and call, and the Junior Minister then comes behind and reads a statement that calls everything into question she is ranting about.
So the best that Laroda can do to "solve" the NIB problem is to do what all brain dead politicians do and that is to say increase contributions by 2 percent?
What about him saying let us stop government from pillaging NIB and using it as slush fund?
What about him saying government needs to make all it loans payments back to NIB?
Say that and then i will know we have someone thinking outside the box.

Really?
Minnis while as leader did not want to talk to the press. Now he is all over the place wanting to talk. He needs to sit down and be quiet and let the real party leader lead and not try to undermine Pintard, which is all he is trying to do.
Maybe if he had learned to talk to people while PM he would still be there.
