Unfortunately data shows that 24% of suicide attempts are made less than 5 minutes before and 70% made less than an hour.
Hopefully her car will be throughly inspected to rule out foul play or faulty brakes etc.
My sympathies to Ms Young’s family.

Goodness me! If the Bahamas only had the US financial crimes watch & anti-money laundering bodies to worry about!

We’ve squandered all our goodwill as usual,
In 02/2020 we were at last off the EU’s non-cooperating countries tax watch followed by the French one in 03/2021 and by 12/2020 off the FAFT blacklist for money laundering & counter terrorism financing.

Davis&Co had reversed that accomplishment by 2022, somehow coming up with a “software glitch” (?) for their breaking the rules of conduct.
Last year partial relief came but given this report, Davis&Co’s refusal to play by the rules or by international finance laws (and Bahamian!) and regulations.

This government is a very bad joke.

Of course the defendant chose to remain silent since the sound of his voice would incriminate him!
I hope the prosecution played the interview in which the voice notes were replayed to compare them with his voice.

Further there is no acknowledgement in these confessions of the harm the pain he caused his own daughter only a selfish attempt to mitigate his own crimes.

And let’s be very clear- this young lady is very brave. She’s had this abuse hanging over her for over a decade, she’s suffered not only her father’s lack of remorse but his and now publicly his lawyer’s attempts “to get rid of her” and deny her justice.
Disgusting

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!

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?
