Oh yes even the blind can see that Conflict of interest is the moral of this article. No member of the motor dealers association should have been a part of the trip. Only independent persons with knowledge of the industry who would be impartial to all who sell cars locally including the many sellers who are not apart of the association..Mr: Albury knows that the major segment of his companies sales is the brand new vehicles he imports so why would he recommending anything positive that would help used car importers. and further cause a decrease in his new car sales. Why would he want to help the smaller portion of his company pie ?(used cars sales) With the way the association have been complaining over the years the recommendations from this committee will be hitting the small man in the pocket to the tune of thousands of dollars.

May their souls rest in peace.

The one recommendation i would like to see from any delegation findings is the adoption and setting of very stringent fuel efficiency standards in the Bahamas comparable to Japan in the short term and a long term recommendation to go green with 100% electrical vehicles by 2030. Most of us are aware of electrical cars but Tesla is now building electrical 16 wheeler Rigs thus proving that Battery powered vehicles can be produced of any size.

If The United states is to go on into the future as a great nation, it must shed the racial stereotype and views of the past century. Trump views sadly reflect the views of many far right citizens of that country. Racism today may not be as open and blatant as in the past but it is still being expounded in decision makings from the board room to the cops on the streets. On this the very day we salute the great works of MLK we are constantly reminded that progress made so far is but a drop in the bucket and one of his quotes remain relevent today and forever and it goes like this "Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and miss guided men " "All men are created equal"

@ TaiRussell ....Sir Frankie should pledge one year of focol oil revenue for new beds and the repair of all hospitals and clinics in this country... He wont miss it , they make millions every month! .

Much infastructure improvements needed at the PMH , this sad story is the norm. NHI is a scam :

Now we know for sure that Fred Smith is a mental patient and belongs in sandilands. Haitian are a problem in every country they migrate to . The US wants to get rid of them. The Dominican Republic has passed legislation to deport them, In Mexico, many of them are stranded at the Border, They have stripped their land of all the quality trees, no wonder earthquakes and torrential rains cause so much damage. Some of them practice religions that worship the devil, now why would we want a little Haiti here.Our athorities have already discovered off carmichael road areas where there is whole scale destruction of the pine forest for the production of charcoal for shipment to Haiti. Haitians by their mindset have shown that they have practices that are destructive to the Bahamian environment..The Dominicans destroy our marine resources while the Haitians destroy our land resources. All shanty towns should be bulldozed no matter where it is.The Bahamas does not need an increase in Haitian identity to the detriment of our own cultural identy. That would send a confusing message to our Bahamian children and the world.about our future.Put an end and roll back the Haitianization of of this country. Smithy boy we are not fools like you.

Cut the NHI suit to fit the money cloth you have. Bahamians cant take no more taxes !

A quick glance of the share holding list for the Bahamas Petroleum company (BPC) shows all of the major share holders are English based companies and individuals. (see Link) https://www.bpcplc.com/investors/major-… We as Bahamians must wake up to the centries old plundering of our natural resources. Inspite of the promise of creating a sovereign wealth fund to handle any royalties derived from its discovery. The world in moving to green technology. With the advances in fracking technology, the is USA now becoming a net exporter of oil and set to surpass Saudi Arabia as the worlds largest exporter, there is no need to proceed with oil drilling plans to enrich foriegners and possibly damage our environment. Lets the Bahamas join the countries around the world who are being innovative with green technology. .

Crime proverty and drugs are intrinsically linked. The cartels control certain parts of Mexico. We are fortunate that the criminal elements in the Bahamas are in the minor league in the grand scheme of criminals. The US needs to issue a white collar crime level advisory on all cities beginning with its own. That would be very interesting .
