Actually the PM is right. Hanging isn't a solution. No country that carries out the death penalty has shown where that is a deterrence to murder. If you look at countries without the death penalty you see a lower incidence of murders. But, if you look closely there are other things in play there. There's better education. There's better healthcare which would include mental wellbeing. There would be better policing, etc. So, while the PM is correct in his statement he must appreciate his government along with all before him have not done a good job to improve conditions within the country to minimize murders. Beyond the government, society needs to act as a safety net to deter would be criminals from committing heinous acts. I'm not suggesting vigilante justice. I'm suggesting keeping eyes open and also listening around their areas. When they realize something is wrong, alert others and collectively act to intervene or to call the police. The police when called need to respond in a timely manner. If we do these things we would begin to have less problems.

Sad to say, but are we surprised? There's always an issue. Insufficient cars. They take their sweet time to show up. They don't show up at all. They ask if they need to show up. All sorts if nonsense. They don't even execute all of the arrest warrants they receive. This is just one bug lousy group of people getting paid to continue being lousy.

Minnis keeps making points. Shouldn't Michael Pintard be the one speaking? Minnis forgot he lost the leadership race aye? If what Clay Sweeting said was true and the person was removed from the Ministry, why was Minnis making comments? You can not know what someone may do at a worksite but when something happens it is the duty if those in charge to act. It seems that happened. Minnis didn't get the memo before he spoke aye?

Lol.

These incompetent good for nothing leaders we have is the issue. Like the precious commenter said cut expenses. This ain't rocket science. This government in particular is totally reckless and has zero regard for the finances of this country. There should be a Commission of Inquiry into how we have record revenue collection but keep coming up with deficits. Some people need to go to jail.

I doubt the introduction she did warranted all this back and forth. Little kids depending on how this was done wouldn't necessarily think much to it. The LGBTQI community keep pushing the envelope. At some point we need to check on their mental health. But, with regards to this story I think people just need to chill. Unless Jonquel did something outrageous, just let it go. We have bigger issues to address in this country than her introducing her partner. Everything doesn't need to be a platform for the church or the LGBTQI community to give their talking points.

A lot of people giving input but no one stated a specific plan of action with timelines as to the capture of this snake. All of the talking and no action isn't going to lead to a solution.

Lol. The banks have operated largely unchecked. There is a point when a regulator has to step in and say, "This is too much".

The PM likes his talking points. He looks serious and always sounds like he's hard at it working for the people. Lol. This man is a joke. He's pretty much in party mode all the time. The million dollar question is who is actually running this country. Another million dollar question is, can we hire a bunch of forensic accountants yo go through the books of all the government ministries and corporations? Then hire a foreign legal team to indict, judge and sentence all of these thieves. This PM is vybfarvtge worse we've had and that's saying a lot given the terrible line up we've had over our entire history. We Need to be like the French, the US, etc wginactually send their politicians and other senior government officials to prison for corruption.

Say fuel prices will cause price gouging. A lot of taxi drivers are crooked. They set arbitrary flat rates and adjust them accordingly based on whether you're tourist, Bahamian from a nice area or a Bahamian from the inner city. It's all games. What we need is Uber or Lyft. Thisnwould help greatly to avoid the outright flagrant cheating of people with these fares. I've heard very embarrassing stories from tourists here who either I met here or ran into while traveling overseas who give bad accounts of being cheated on fares by taxi drivers. Some of the rates charged I wonder of the driver was driving from the airport (as an example) to Ragged Island.
