Typical to conclude that Respect is awarded ( and especially from one with a history of
disrespect for others and mostly females, go to the history books of The Bahamas parliament) rather than EARNED by respecting others.
what a way to move forward?????
This is the kind of headlines that keep our young people leaving school with a "D" average and straight to the unemployment lines.

When Sh-t like this is considered newsworthy instead of meaningful news like" What is the current murder count of our mostly young people, and what is really effecting the lives and well being of our citizens there is a major news editing ( in this case lack of editing) problems.
Most of the individuals in this crap are " failed has beens" who have done the Bahamas more harm that good and any advice of opinions or anything printed should be bawled up and used in the outside toilet.

Keep writing of millions of dollars to past, current and future politicians delinquent and non-performing loans and then selling to corrupt Investors for pennies on the dollar, paying the Web shop Boys very little to no interest on huge daily deposits and balances that other banks cannot accept, even with a C average you should make a profit. Especially if the books maybe tweaked.

one way to keep the Tourist numbers and achievements going up, up up.

the Interview will have to be conducted in " Applicants' country of nationality or residence"
and since Haiti is on the "USA's do not enter list", clearly indicate that applicant will have to be Interviewed at the USA Embassy in Nassau, will have to document approved bahamian residence status with the Government of the Bahamas official confirmation and if the VISA is granted to the applicant, The Bahamas Government will become responsible for every Haitian person, adult or child entering into, or in, the USA effective November 1, 2025. Airbnb's and Hotels can not turn their room into apartments and revise their gloomy forecast for a slow slow season to a robust projection to go along with all the other robust projections out there. Lord another avenue for continued corruption !!!. in other words, The Bahamas will become the Global center for processing Haitian Nationals. We now getting the World's attention!!

We need several categories of taxis in our Bahama land: 1: Tourist fares only. The vehicles should all be painted the same one colour that will identify it as a tourist fare.
2: Local only. vehicles should be painted the same one colour that will identify as local fares only. a working number with a live operator to provide service. Licensing fees should be lower that the tourist taxi fees.
3: Tourist tour vehicles should be pained the same one colour that will identify it as a tourist tour vehicle.
4: Airport taxi service: should be alternated on 1 day on 1 day off between the tourists' fare and tourist tour vehicles. Passengers should be assigned an airport transportation according to their wishes from inside the airport an given a vehicle number to be presented at the outside taxi stand. The airport is the first impression that a " spending tourist" will get of our vacation nation, let it be organized, courteous and the start to a great and lasting experience!

God give real hope to enrich the individual for a better life on earth and place with him in Heaven for eternity.
Web shops give false hope to individuals that further their poverty and emotional instability to enrich the web shop owners and politicians. Opposite of Gods teachings and will for mankind on earth.
When christian pastors ( supposedly religious leaders) support the deeper poverty and emotional distress of persons and allow their Church building pulpit to be used to conduct political campaigns events and regulating illegal foreigners instead of discussing the word of God and winning souls for his kingdom, God made Sodom and Gomorrah a lesson of his anger to worshiping false Gods and deceit. apparently some religious leaders have different points of view!!

We are a tri-Language nation, Bahamian English, Creole and Spanish, no wonder high school students are entering the job market with a "D" average education and unable to qualify for employment.
If you are going to import " educators " for our children, then make it mandatory that they come from an English speaking country.
Just filling spaces (with language barriers) will not work for the the needed level of education to give our non wealthy children a fighting chance and move our nation forward.
we have got to stop being pretenders and become contenders!!!

Since it appears that the Taxi Drivers and Entertainers unions are not well represented in governments negotiations with the cruise ships companies, then a jointed body should approach the cruise ships companies with tour packages and a 50/50 split, like some hotels ( which is better than nothing at all) for the cruise guests while in port. If the service is great, then gratuities will help to make up the difference. Because it is a vital part of the tourist "Bahamas Experience" joint representation should be a participant on the Bahamas Tourism Development Board.

Where is the executed Heads of Agreement? Is it correct and states what the Investor(s) are reporting, their agreement is contingent upon a fully completed updated and operational Airport to be in place by the Bahamas Government to process the incoming guest traffic to facilitate their $827 Million Investments before the purported sale of $120 million is completed with payment? The Bahamian people and the financial world are waiting for the answers to these questions? The airport (the horse of the horse and carriage ride) that was not touted or mentioned at the grand celebrations by the Bahamas Government, or the Investor(s) are now the huge question mark for the already announced completed sale for $120 million. Is transparency and accountability missing???
