This whole system of customs officers inspecting containers delivered to the site of the importer is corrupt to the hilt. It's all about unnecessarily milking the public treasury of allowances and over-time compensation. Customs officers are being incentivized not to work during normal working hours and they happily oblige.
This foolishness has been going on for decades. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Big importers have grown accustomed to dishing out untraceable wads of cash to their favourite customs officers for turning their eyes the other way during on-site inspections of containers choc-a-bloc full of undeclared expensive goods.
It's just one more example of why the small man is being taxed to death.....he's always being made to pay for the big time corruption of others who can afford to pay but do pay their customs duties.
That ain't ever gonna happen. The very cruel Davis only cares about his wealthy friends and couldn't give a rats arse about poor struggling Bahamians except come election time when he wants your vote. Have you forgotten he decided to make priced-controlled food items subject to VAT? LOL
As is now being done by the corrupt and incompetent Biden administration in the U.S., we can count on our corrupt and incompetent Davis led PLP administration to start blaming any and every thing bad on Russia's invasion of the Ukraine rather than covid-19. lmao
Davis is always talking about spending money as if it grows on trees. You never hear him talking about introducing meaningful policies aimed at enabling the private sector to grow and create decent paying jobs.
