We really need to terminate PowerSecure, the foriegn operators of BEC. What a waste of $5 million a year plus $1 million bonus plus $2 million in frauds. Both administrations just love foreigners and wouldn't give Bahamians a chance to buy BEC.

A non government poll (with similarities to a referendum) should take place sponsored by civil society with 3 questions put to Bahamian's who are registered to vote.

(1) Should the peoples "No" vote to the public pole made under the PLP's pretense of a referendum be honored as it relates to gambling in the Bahamas.

(2) Should parliament move legislation to out law web-shops.

(3) Should the government of the Bahamas create a national lottery run by the government of the Bahamas that will benefit education.

If the majority answer "Yes" then the FNM should move, and if such legislation is passed,] in parliament, then move a true referendum should be immediately held to get rid of web-shops and implement a national lottery.

Judging from the FNM's push to jail thieves it appears that the police can actually investigate and charge criminals with illegal acts. I never thought this would happen under any administration.

The biggest theft at hand today is the poisoning of those least in our society who are able to help themselves being robbed by the over 400 web-shops scattered through our poorest neighborhoods in every inhabited island.

Any word on the missing $5 million from BEC. Any word from the forensic audit? Or will this just be quietly pushed under the rug? Like everything else at BEC.

Don't tell me everything is OK. I may have to remain black and poor but please don't talk to me as if I'm stupid and ignorant.

FNM need to fire the entire board, the foreigners and the management. How much more stealing can we bear before we are bankrupt!

Let's organize the signatures of 100,000 Bahamian demanding Parliment vote on (1) legislation to outlaw numbers including jail time for anyone selling numbers and (2) implementation of a state lottery.

Once the legislation has passed a referendum should occur with 2 simply questions (1) should numbers be outlawed and (2) should there be a state lottery.

This is needed as the PLP did not follow the will of the people in the numbers lottery.

What about the FNM promise of free education at UB?

As long as we have politicians running hospitals (or anything else for that matter) not will get better.

good point Tal. All of these government vehicles should be off the road. $7 million at BEC is the tip of the iceberg. How much gas is being stolen through public officials running around doing personal errand in Government Cars.

"Its the Governments Time"...again.

When the US forensic auditors are finished at BEC, please send them to NI, BoB, Resolve, Post Office Bank, Motor Vehicles, Bahamasair, Mortgage Corp, Bamsi, AG Offece, Hotel Corp, Ministry of Finance, Hospital, Education? Water and Sewerage, Real Property Tax.,.did I miss anyting?

Look like if it could move it was gettin tief.

Pot cakes and cats missing from Nassau for along time now.

The tennants should take NAD to court for unequal treatment.
