Oh yeah, since the horrible Minister said the VAT money was used to build new schools, only no one could find the schools and the changed to something else and something else, the VAT money was used to reduce the national debt, the purpose for which it was implemented by the corrupt christie govenment, now the VAT money cannot even pay the interest on the national debt.!!!

This is a repeat of " where the Billion dollars V.A.T. money done gone" under the most corrupt Christie government. Look like political party cannot wait for this fellow to be elected and officially made the " conduit" of the peoples hard earned high taxes. Said the V.A.T. funds were used to build schools but nobody could find the schools, so then he changed and said the V.A.T money was used to repair existing schools. Now he at it again with the $700,000,000.00 National Investment Funds money, and like "poof" the money gone up in smoke again???
Maybe he needs another one-on-one interview with the intelligent, honest and straight forward news executive again. Before he has to answer some other questions?????

The Nations Government, Minister of Finance, rising in the Peoples and nation's" House of Assembly and stating the $700 Millions of the peoples money was transferred in a National Investment Fund (nif) account, that legally does not exist, is shameful and show disrespect for the Nations citizens and the global Financial Markets.

unfortunately Bahamian are exhibiting every day that their individual feelings are the only thing that matters and the hell with those feeling produce. Consequently, our children are suffering and with very little hope for the future. Everything that would contribute to citizens feeling and being independent are being taken away by the ones we chose to lead us to better lives.
Instead of mandating Banks to provide banking services to encourage our young people to open accounts and save their money( which is a key to independence), the politicians are encouraging our young people to wager their money and future on the spinning machines of the Number Houses and after one moment of excitement leave a lifetime future of depression and failure and then have to look for handouts from the number houses cartels to survive.
Wake up and try have our children be better persons than we are!!!

Maybe we should plan for the worst scenario's before giving assurances ( which is elementary in a planning process). It was a pre general election statement and votes were needed though!

The government is providing the best education for the majority underprivileged children as they want too, with all their children attend Private schools, with smaller class rooms, mostly highly qualified foreign teachers with all the necessary supplies and equipment and social etiquette environment in preparation for higher education levels aboard. The government schools "D " average has been the norm for 53 years and we are okay with it?????!!!!!!

In our current Paradise Bahamas , Any person aspiring to be leader of our Island Nation and future government(s) MUST have a criminal background, be fluent in Creole and be prepared to spend eternity in HELL!

BPL has always been ONE of governments cash cows!
The most corrupt Christie administration, handed out a $5 million ( no bid contract) to a Senior member of the party -to call the fire department everytime there was a firs at a station. Listing them as an "oil fire specialist". Talk about legacy debt????

AI is designed to replace human service with Robots in the hands of politicans. This will benefit the citizens of the Bahamas who if lucky to work who are struggling to survive with a gross minimum weekly salary $260,00 but being replaces will benefit them?? Trust Me:: Seriously!!!

Since the government receives soo much taxes on them selling a fallacy dream to the destitute population of winning loss money back from the number houses makes it okay, then Drug trafficking, Prostitution, Human trafficking, Money Laundering and Smuggling weapons should be regularized and just think of all the tax money they will bring in to spend and the business people becoming law makers.
