The Bahamas reputation for drug trafficking and financial crimes has gotten worse under Davis&Co and as a banking center it would have seemed prudent for this same bunch of miscreants to walk their big talk of laws, acts, guidelines etc etc.
For if there’s one thing Bahamians know- what the law says and what the laws does are two entirely different subjects!

On Bahamas ‘a haven for finance crime'

Darville is correct that such a plan might bring savings ‘on the back end’-but only if the PLP can keep their mitts off it.
Yet as Dr Sands points out (and anyone knows) it’s the front end that requires the funding and work to make it happen, Davis&Co haven’t done the work and since they’ve robbed the cupboard bare…!

Since Ms Shepherd doesn’t seem to realize the irony and silliness of her remarks, perhaps reading them in print is needed.

While she scoffs at the fact that Bahamians must place their “trust” in their health and safety inspectors to ensure the eggs are safe for consumption, Ms Shepherd highlights the current fears over Avian Flu and the corrupt reputation of our own inspection systems.

For despite her admonition that “our farmers know how to grow eggs” can our inspectors honestly work to ensure the public health safety for Bahamians?

Nailed it!

One wonders if the Minister is suffering from a case ‘wherein ‘physician heal thyself’ must be applied because for him to continue to arise and announce these ludicrous schemes he must be suffering from psychological delusions!

Davis&Co’s government has no money, the cupboard is bare.

Despite this government’s glut of employees they cannot serve the population of the Bahamas, the NHIA is no exception.
NHI have been throttling their services to members and they aim to cut more, including payments to providers (though they’re never on time) while adding to their work load and reducing coverage.
Those applying for NHI must wait 6 months for benefits and one may rightly question what those are those services given this ‘repeal and replace’ nonsense.
They cannot afford to maintain hospitals or health facilities but miraculously they’re adding 160k patients for free meds?

Somehow this “reformed” and “replaced” NHI will be reborn as a new vehicle eligible for grants and loans from foreign sources.

Meanwhile poor Darville will be hard pressed to secure an appointment with a local Psychologist!

Modernize oversight? As similar in other enlightened countries?

Would that entail regulations that would exclude any government official including the PM from participating, endorsing and/or profiting from any quid pro quo deals and relationships whether these pertains to the giving and receiving of patronage, nepotism, monetary exchange, and/or what’s known as the revolving door into businesses?

Sorry Bub this is the Bahamas, how can we object to that which even the lowest amongst us aspire to??

So the deficit is way over $300M and Davis&Co want to borrow $300M -for infrastructure?

And the OPM spent $2.25M on travel just for the last 6 mos of 2024, and now they’ve allocated another $2M for Jan-Jun 2025?

When are the Bahamian people going to put a stop to these modern day pirates?

A new plan?
Please, from these master criminals?

So two years after this untimely event the police and prison system has further wasted the people’s time and that of our overworked Coroner and her office!

Why would someone self described as untrained (and from his egregious testimony should be labeled as “untrainable” due to extreme prejudice and dullheadedness) be in charge of any facility pertaining to human interaction?

All this gives one a good view into Davis&Co’s abject corruption, and only serves to highlight their desperate need for new revenue streams to somehow keep the government running, (if only on fumes!) until the next election for which the hard boot is looming.

Disgusting!
