STALLED: US criticises Bahamas over delay to enact laws to help fight corruption

The US State Department, in its just-released 2024 investment climate report on The Bahamas, cited campaign finance reforms and the creation of an Integrity Commission as two initiatives that have been "delayed" to leave this nation exposed to the threat of corruption and undue foreign influence in policy-making decisions.
