So we have two Cabinet Ministers bemoaning the high rate of suicides in the Bahamas however despite their corresponding portfolios public health and so called ‘national security’ neither presented a single resource available to Bahamians to turn to help their loved ones or themselves!
Wouldn’t being in charge of our public health and security include developing solutions and resources to combat such a scourge?

Think of the stress amongst healthcare staff, EMT, police and fire dept personnel burnt out by their challenging work environment here working under a governance that willfully, studiously ignores stress applied from staff shortages, lab, bed and equipment shortages, poor wages. faulty equipment.
Worse they work while their bosses preen before the press, lauding themselves as they attempt to make silk purses from their schemes wrought from their pig trough, ie. purchasing cheap ambulances useless for health emergencies that involve any one of the Bahamians who make up 50% of
the population suffering obesity and/or heart disease!
And how would tourists react to the release of statistics of harm they risk on their vacation??

Then there’s our Mr Munroe, he’s spent his entire career railing against and making millions taking advantage of the corrupt justice system, the police services in particular, now he’s 3 years into the mandate for reform he demanded and he’s remained hands off…
Why is he so determined to preserve the ongoing corruption? Is it because he’s now Boss Hog and he knows he’ll resort to the same playbook as before when he’s in private practice?

I’ve worked with firefighters and police officers, they have the highest rates of depression and ennui manifested in domestic violence, substance abuse and suicide.

What does one call a loud mouth who bewails poor governance but when handed the power
to do something about it refuses?
Who acts deliberately to ensure those who clean up horrific scenes after we drive recklessly and let our emotions direct acts of heinous violence have no place to turn for spiritual, physical support and no money to seek that care elsewhere?
And above knowing that one’s privacy is sacrosanct.

What do we call such people beyond hypocrites?
Why PLP of course!

My goodness but character will out!
Since the property has been handed down from Mother to son, one must assume his son is a minor and thus the attempt to steal his inheritance.

Hopefully if Mr Burrows didn’t make out a will, and if his son is a minor his bank will appoint a guardian to save him from his contentious and greedy aunts and uncles!

I’ve noticed the Tribune has stopped publishing the count of the running total of homicides inflicted upon this community by the corrupt criminal enterprise known as the current government of Davis&Co.

Not quite a free press eh?

So 3 years after promises to bring renewables efficiency to the Bahamas,
3 years of enduring the world’s scorn from Davis’ yapping hypocrisy we’re getting a “forum for discussion”??
Indeed one may truthfully say 3 years of waiting for any promise fulfillment!
Now Bahamians must wait for their next campaign: “This time we really really will keep our promises!”

Davis&Co made sport out of corruption.
Wanna bet the medals read:Made in China??

How much more evidence is needed to convince the Bahamian people to end this charade played by the PLP and the CCP- Chinese Communist Party (and it’s affiliates)?

There is only one plausible outcome, it’s the same one the Chinese have wrought upon nations foolish enough to give their governance up to greedy corrupt leaders.
Some say: by your foolishness you get the government you deserve…

Two years ago in 2022 the Minister of Public Works Sears made an announcement that must have brought guffaws to many when he said that he and his department “had noticed” there was an erosion problem at Junkanoo Beach and environs.
And of course time was needed for a study…time to come up with a suitable design!
Then they must find a contractor!

Too bad he failed to look in the drawer labeled “Design to Repair the Eastern & Western Breakwaters at the Entrance to Nassau Harbour” that’s been moldering for years!
And this time/money saving gift also contains the names of the two contractors chosen and their plans for the enclosed design…!

It gets very old, this assumption by equally moldering teat suckling politicians that we the electorate are sitting round blithely chewing on a reed…

It must be equally maddening to Messers Maura and Bethell who have (at least) every quarter faithfully presented these same damning facts to the MOW while reminding Works that in another drawer is the paperwork for the $35M from the IDB to make the much needed repairs!

A year ago a Works assistant something or other ‘Brown’ announced that the work would commence in the first quarter of 2024 and be completed in 18 months!
He did make a curious remark - that only half the money had been raised…so a project judged by the Caribbean Bank in 2021 at a cost of $20M is now 2X $35M??

So why hasn’t this project commenced and where the heck is that $35M??

I find it horrific that anyone would believe that victims of rape and/sexual assault would willingly, deliberately put themselves-and their families through such a public ordeal based on a lie.
This is humiliating, this tears you apart and it’s so scary.
You know your neighbors friends etc might not believe you despite the fact they know all too well that ‘what goes on behind closed doors’ is seldom recognized in the public persona.
It takes a brave soul to embark on this journey because they know the odds, yet still they act upon their conscience, something their rapist, their abuser knows naught.
Bravo!

And which PLP sycophants and police department gang leaders will be appointed to this ‘Cannabis Authority’?
Now this here is the way Bahamian politicians “take back the streets” -in trade!

Mr Mitchell is as ever offering hogwash and arrogance instead of good governance!

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs he’s disrespected his office again, and the good people of the Bahamas again in order to curry continued favour with our supreme debtors CCA.
Perhaps it’s his flair for the dramatic causing him to act in his remit for foreign affairs in the most literal terms, ie. sordid and morally distasteful…

I agree with those calling on him to cease his embarrassing and scurrilous accusations as he is making a fool of himself and serves to highlight his party’s fraudulent behaviour with the Judge pointing the finger squarely at Sir Beltron & his son Leslie as the conduit to curry favour and gain access to the Christie gov’t.

As for Mitchell claiming no evidence, how ridiculous and what fools he must believe we are!
The Manhattan Supreme Court Justice ruled on a $Billion+ finding without evidence?
Justices don’t bandy about lightly in writing findings that include words like “this absolute sham and complete shakedown”
