I agree with you. It's mindblowing how things work or better don't work in this country. The ease of doing business ranking that we have is extremely low when compared to places around the globe and that is largely due to problems with government approvals, etc. Mr. Johnson didn't help himself either. I can understand the frustration but you have to be careful how you react to people when they're not doing what they're supposed to do in a timely fashion. Also, why is he harassing a foreign competitor? If they have the right to operate here, they have a right. The correct thing is for there to be rules in place to allow Bahamians to have a fair shot to have a viable business. He shouldn't be telling someone what they can and can not do. So, even if they are being silly on the delay, he is just making things worse. On his comment about the other company taking his manual, procedures, etc, if the company has been in existence for some time they should already have their procedures, policies, etc already laid out without a need to steal.his. Also, for them to do so would mean the Department of Civil Aviation would have handed it to them which would be a gross violation and I'm sure he can take legal action if he can prove it.

Rupert Robert's is advising thar competition is a problem. Lol. There may be some merit in sinecif what he's saying, however, the prices are grossly exaggerated. If more competitors is a threat then a price control policy thar extends beyond bread basket items have to be implemented. There was the excuse of supply chain issues and exorbitant shipping costs. Supply chain issues no longer exist and shipping costs for awhile has dropped significantly. If Mr. Roberts says otherwise there are tons of international sources where anyone can verify thus information. Just recently ivr noticed around a 20% increase on some on the items in his store. Last time I checked, inflation should be around 3 to 4%. If you want to get excited 5%, not 20%. If you bring in a large competitor, like a Walmart, you definitely would see a significant reduction in price.

I see insurance companies mentioned here as well. It's interesting that the government speaks on food and commented on addressing bank fees but they are mute on tackling the "near mafiosa" posture of the insurance companies. Claims can be rejected on a whim or claimants get pennies on the dollar. Premium Increases are done in such a way only God and the insurance companies can verify what's true with regards to the reason. Just so ahady.

A good assessment of the leadership for last 60nyears or so. Just one correction, Sir Roland was not Prime Minister. He was Premier.

Mr. Davis is a gross disappointment. The never ending spending, the deals without transparency, the out of control band of misfits he's put into key positions is just unbelievable. His tenure has been a farce to say the least. He clearly doesn't want to do anything. This appears to be just an item to check on his list of accomplishments. He has ni interest in nation building.

bpl? bpl? Ain't he involved in a ton of deals.i solving BPL that the government has been honest with the people.abput? Yes, he built his empire on his own. But, he has taken advantage of the poor and underprivileged as well.

Smh. This is ridiculous. Amd how does that bring about compliance? We have criminals out on bail who should be locked up. We have rampant government corruption but this is the focus? These people ain't serious.

Why is commenting enabled for this story? Always seems random when comments are enabled. It could have been worse for this lady and her family and also for the gas workers. Still quite sad all around. That's rough to go through and rough still to deal with permanently. Hopefully things improve a lot for her and all involved.

Birdie drank the PLP Kool-aid. No logic or reason left.

So, we get a report dictated directly or indirectly by the outgoing Commissioner that the DPP is supposed to act on. These people can't be serious. And the DPP won't do anything with the crumbs they got.as they can't offend the current administration. Games! Games! Games!

👀 Really? Do we believe the US federal agents don't know their jobs? Come on birdie! Come on! Further Indictments are coming. Some of your people you so loyally support may be looking at jail time.

People intervening could help. Instead of recording the video that person should have called the police. Shouldn't the police be patrolling that area? Also, Quackoo Street police station isn't far from there. So, the answer is simple, the police should have handled this to minimize the injuries to that lady.
