It's so interesting that people right here seem to think there are hardly any trustworthy Bahamians, or many who don't have any business sense. I think that is a warped view of the populace.

We seem to forget that many developed nations have the same policies of putting their citizens first (e.g. UK, Canada - just to name a few). Unemployment is a real issue and I don't think that everyone who unemployed is just lazy, unqualified, or untrustworthy.

Exactly DDK, that was the first thing that caught my eye. I'm sure there are many foreign workers currently in positions that Bahamians could serve in that 'some' Bahamians probably are already qualified for without needing training.
With all the critical needs out there for this country I don't think the National Debt needs to be unnecessarily increased with Workforce training.

Why does every government get so quickly carried away with spending?

You're so right. I wish that parents of under aged children had more accountability in this country when their children commit crimes (especially if neglect is found to be the case).

Bannister has a point. Social Media is out of hand in this country. I'm very embarrassed to be a part of a society that so easily believes that because someone sends something on What’s App or Facebook, etc. then it’s Automatically True.
I will never forget the so called “9 people” who died hurricane Joaquin in Long Island or no more gasoline being available in Nassau. It’s like that commercial on TV – “It’s on the internet, so you know it must be true”. The people who initially make up these stories to send are bad enough, but we are also to blame if we needlessly pass information on without checking the veracity of the source. I’m probably the only Bahamian left no longer on What’s App.

Smells like a fish!

It's good to hear that PM Minnis will hold individuals from the past administration accountable. There is too much corruption in this country and people think because they are not out there with a gun, that it's not really a crime. </br></br>My only hope though is that PM Minnis is just as strict with his own cabinet or else it will be a new administration and the *same 'ole same 'ole*, but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt *for now*. Only time will tell.

There's obviously more to this story than the Tribune is saying or allowed to say. Why would they go through the trouble of arresting this MP if nothing was missing. Something isn't adding up.

Such sad news for that family. My heart goes out to them.

Very sad to see what happened to the family and small children. Prayers are with them.

Brent Symonette, financial services - not a good idea!
