The main issue is the stealing, overpricing and lack of accountability in the Government's financial system. The rents and leases are overpriced. The building contracts are overpriced. Dead people pensions are still being collected and the pension bill is growing exponentially. Duplication of overtime monies/work orders etc goes unnoticed. The SOEs are bleeding millions daily. The Auditor General's reports into Government Department anomalies go unheeded. ........... And the list goes on.
Also, if the Government was to make better use of its human resources (civil service), then there will be less strain on the Treasury. With a $80 million per month wage bill, is the Government getting value for money?????
And we all agree .......... the Government is either being shafted by its present tax collectors or is unable/incapable of collecting the taxes that are on the books by other means ............. Maybe if it goes online, more may be collected. Maybe, if the rich Bahamians and the foreigners are not given all of the tax breaks ...............But who knows in 242???????????
The PLP has short memory .... When CW preached against them, they fired him from MOE. Davis should repent on behalf of the PLP, not offer a meaningless tribute
What Belinda and her sychophants are missing is that the WHOLE educational system is broken. It's an apartheid system that the PLP exacerbated by getting rid of the old GHS and tried to make all schools carbon copies of each other. Now, it's a race to the bottom. Covid only exposed the underbelly of the broken system.
Funny how arbitration only works for some groups. The Industrial Tribunal has become politicized just like the PF, courts and senior civil service. Disgraceful
Almost 1 million ppl have died from Covid in the USA as a result of taking the vaccines ....... Many more died because of their co-morbidities.
Less than 0.5% died if they were healthy & had a strong immune system.
What does that suggest to Bahamians about the reality of Covid in 242? Who is mostly at risk? Why are the vaxed ppl now still dying from Covid or catching it for the second or third time, despite taking the vax? The vax is fool's gold. Better to be healthy than seeking a miracle vax cure. The Covid experts are being exposed.
