This is just not true. No objective measure (fatf, oecd, wti) scores us as worse - none. Hate the man and his politics is you must, but please don't spread untruths.
You missed the obvious point. The Dundas has been run by a tight group of private citizens whose zeitgeist is that they alone should drive the creative direction of arts -- especially the Dundas -- in this country. They have proven to be inept, exclusive and unfit to lead. I find it even more hypocritical that, once ago, one of the gracious receivers of the donation urged Bahamians not to vote for any government. Now she slurps up the spoils that the government has offered. What the government should have done was made the recent grant conditional on a change of the Dunda's leadership. Just like in politics and other vocations, there is a point of diminishing returns, and new leadership is needed. The current Dundas leaders should graciously bow, accept their flowers and exit stage left. The understudies are waiting.
No, it shouldn't be illegal. You earn your pension because you toiled for 30+ years - government should not be allowed to capriciously claw back pension. The issue is to ensure that there are enough qualified people to perform jobs so that any government does not have to re-hire retirees.
If you were to read the Securites Act, it tells you what they can do with the money - use it for financial education purposes only. They can't give bonuses or buy fancier furniture with that money. Geez, ya'll ignorant...
