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”

One can be sure the Ministry of FA performs these services with the same diligence Justice gives to complaints from prisoners locked up here in Fox Hill, hence the allegations!

What troubles me here is the fact that the poor boy’s aggrieved Father had to seek out the investigating officer-is there no duty of care that the police extend in such circumstances?
And two months - at least for any information?
How long for the disposition? Is this per usual in the case of a vehicular death?
Or just reflective of what anyone in the Bahamas can expect given who was driving the car? As in we’re sorry but don’t expect a result Bub.

Is this his Benevolent Weatherman outfit??
Are the winds to be high enough to sweep away large squat objects?
And where are folks going to shelter in say…Abaco??
In the wobbly structure with the collapsed roof?
Lord help us!

Your link is for visitors to the UK
There really is no comparison given these new regs as those visiting the Bahamas as a tourist usually want to stay here in the winter and shoulder months, ie. 4-6 mos.

A US B2visa ie. tourist visa is $185, lasts 10 years and allows for a stay up to 180 days (6 months)
As well this can be accomplished online w/an appt’t in any city with a US Embassy/Consulate.

Your opinion would have some worth if you weren’t speaking from both sides of your mouth, ie. that we’re “undervaluing the price people are willing to pay to have paradise” and “measly fees of $50” then launching into “we should not be arrogant”. Perhaps you’d like to read your first statement again?

Rick Gardner of CST (above named) tallies the fees for landing in the newly created private Bimini airport, and paying for services not yet available at $700 for a light aircraft w/4 passengers.
That doesn’t include fuel and parking fees now pegged at $900/month.
How does this add to the success of this $80M project??

Compare this to T&C, where landing fees for the same craft are…$10.
Departure at $29/person.
Parking…$5/day
Development fes…$20
I might have left one out but one gets the picture?

And the last one is an even better selling point..
Crime rate here 64.8
T&C..48.6
