Why is this information from December and January? What are the latest stats? Who is the genius at the Ministry of Health responsible for this information? Every step we have to show we're a backwards banana republic.

What approach is correct? If you're taking guns off the street there should be more gun prosecutions, which you're not hearing. Also, to take guns of the street the police need to be very visible on the street which they are not. They're a joke. The shooting at the courthouse on Nassau Street is a good indication of just how lousy they are. If you can't secure a place that's a symbol of law and order that is right next to a police station, what can you secure and what kind of job can you be doing if this can happen so easily?

Clearly, there were no guidelines followed here with regards to where boats should be in the water. One thing, it shouldn't matter if it's a visitor or a local person involved, a tragedy isn't less or more because of what category you fall into. The government, boat operators, etc all need to take responsibility for safety.

So, the courthouse isn't a safe spot? Doesn't thus show that the police are not doing their jobs? We keep hearing excuses from the police and the government why crime is the way it is, but here you have a spot that can be easily controlled but clearly wasn't. This is clearly a reflection of the fact the police are incompetent and lazy. A simple security plan can fix this. This is a joke. Think of how many innocent people could have been affected here.

How do we have so many officers and so many vehicle's for them but such lousy policing?

Wow! Seriously? This is just insane. To make this even more ubsane it appears thus wasn't about non-compliance but a routine check if compliance. What is going in this country?

Lol. Mr. Hoffer is conquered? In these situations it's hard to say what's true and what's not. Unfortunately in this country if you pay a couple of people in the right positions, you don't have to worry about right and wrong, abiding by or breaking the law.

One, he wants 15,000 rooms by large properties owned by foreign investors? Dumb! We need to start thinking getting more boutique hotels in play owned by residents. That way, more of the money stays here and the country really benefits as a whole. Also, why is the only thing every government focuses on is tourism. I know it's the main industry but we need to be putting seeds in the ground for other industries. We need politicians who are not short sighted and who have some intellect to grasp the bigger picture. We elect too many small minded idiots who don't know and don't care to know about moving this country forward. Ignorance in a banana republic styled country only equips us to handle bananas.

This is sickening. URCA is a rubber stamp. I filed a complaint months ago and they haven't even acknowledged receipt of it. They are not regulating anyone. This single bid nonsense is just a flagrant abuse by the government. We know who is behind FOCOL and we know that is also a major donor for the current government's election campaigns. So, this is more about ensuring their people get the lion share of contracts. This isn't about best bids or what is good for the country. We see yesterday the story of 40% of BPL being sold. Once again the deal circles back to the same people. This government is a sickening disgrace. They don't have the Shame in their minds to realize this shouldn't even be so utterly obvious the flagrant disregard they have for the Bahamian people. This is piracy. Plunder! Plunder! Plunder!

Inflation is one thing, price gouging is another. I don't think the cost of items here are solely driven by increased costs on the global market. In the midst of the pandemic the costs of grocery for example went up dramatically and store owners blamed it on supply chain issues and costs of shipping. But, we don't have supply chain issues anymore and until recently there was a huge drop in shipping costs buy no change in the costs of goods in the stores. If we have some sort of fair pricing mechanism this would be of greater value to the average consumer. If you increase wages by 50% and there isn't a check on the price of goods and services and this allowed to increase by 80%, you still have a problem. Store owners bank on yh4 fact that if you need something, ypu will find the money to pay for it no matter how much it costs.

Although, Mr. Minnis isn't the best person to deliver this message, lol, he is correct. Mr. Wilson should be punished for his behavior. You can not send a message that your Funancial Secretary is a thug. He is the highest ranked civil servant in the Ministry of Finance that the country 3xpects to be the gatekeeper of our money. So, he should be held to the highest standard. It's quite serious that we tell young guys they need to resolve conflicts peacefully yet we have a middle aged professional looking to get in an old fashioned street brawl because he didn't like the approach from a reporter. I would admit the reporter probably wanted to provoke him. But, a professional wouldn't have stooped to the level of fighting. This is grossly unacceptable. The PM consistently shows he has no interest in running this country or keeping his team in line. I think he just wanted to have PM on his resume. After that the country could go to hell.
